    interface basics

    I do understand the need for keys to do double duty on the smaller notebook keyboards This would make sense to me but unfortunatly it is not how it works. If I reverse it there is no shortcut to the menu bar. I am not sure why it has to be that way but I use the menu shortcut a lot so I...

    Natobasso - This is where I started. I tried all of this before contacting the Savin sales person. I downloaded both the PPD and the Mac utility. The PPD allows me to print garbage to the printer and the Mac Printer utility does nothing. When I open the utility it loads then opens a window...

    Thank you for your comments gsahi - I do not see any .dmg files. just .ppd files and links to not-for-the-novice instructions on installing foomatic-rip, ghostscript build-ins etc. Natobasso - PDF's do not print. I am at a small PC-centric university so IT is not going to be any help. If...

    interface basics

    Mikuro, Thanks for the response. I am using 10.4.9. the ^F2 box is selected in the keyboard shortcuts but when I push ^F2, I get the same response as for F2 alone which is to brighten the screen. ^F1 dims the screen, ^F3 mutes the speakers. Oddly enough, ^F8 does do what it is supposed to...
