Apple screwed the pooch (OS 10.6.3 update)

republic,

Please let them know they need to do this!

If enough of us tell them, they may get the point.

Regards,

Oh, how I wish!

republic,

I know this probably sounds lame, but can you tell me how to "reconfigure our old AppleTalk-based printer queues to use IP printing instead"? I have a NexusRip that broadcasts AppleTalk printers, and even if I were to be able to figure out how to "reconfigure our old AppleTalk-based printer queues to use IP printing instead", I'm not sure it would really help me (because of Nexus).

We don't have support contract for Nexus anymore, so I will probably be stuck with this older version for awhile. Right now I'm using hotfolders in Leopard (went ahead and quit using printers because I figured I'd have to if I wanted to ever upgrade to Snow Leopard).

Any thoughts on the matter which might help me be able to use printers and not have to resort to hotfolders?

BTW, I use Parallels Desktop 5 to run Nexus in Windows on my Mac Pro.

It's not that big a deal either way, I was just wondering.

Thanks and regards,

Don

For what it's worth, we run predominantly 10.6.3 and have users using both CS3 and CS4 with no problems. As far as I can tell, Apple didn't screw any pooch here.

As far as SL for prepress work in general, there's no way I would go back. Yeah, it took a little work to reconfigure our old AppleTalk-based printer queues to use IP printing instead, but for me the speed, improvements in search and other refinements to the Finder have been well worth some minor upgrade issues. Honestly, I think my production Mac today is the most stable machine I've ever used. (It's a 3 year old Mac Pro with a double dual cores and 10 GB RAM if anyone's curious.)
