Whittle Mac OS
As you probably already know, Apple recently released the final version of its Mac OS X Leopard operating system. And, judging by its initial sales (more than 2 million copies sold already), Apple seems to have hit a major home run. So what’s the big deal about Leopard and why should you care? In this review we’ll answer those questions and we’ll take a look at what’s good and bad in Leopard.
Why the Hell Should I Care? I Don’t Own a Mac!
Some of you might be thinking “So what? I don’t own a Mac, what the hell do I care about Apple’s stupid operating system, Jim?” Well that’s a fair sentiment if you’re not a Mac owner since Leopard doesn’t run on any other hardware…yet. But as we saw with Apple’s switch to Intel processors a while back, what seems incredible or even impossible can sometimes be quite possible. There may come a day when Leopard or its successor is available on non-Apple hardware.
Plus it’s worth knowing what Leopard has to offer because Microsoft tends to use Apple as its research and development lab at times. In other words, if there’s a great feature on Leopard that’s not on Windows then you can bet Microsoft will steal…er…excuse me…borrow the idea for a future version of Windows at some point. Who knows…you may even see some of Leopard included in a future Windows Vista super-duper mega-patch or “service pack” or whatever Microsoft is calling it these days.
Installation
I installed Leopard on my new Intel based iMac and Macbook Pro.

Whittle delivers trusted results and is used in scoping, feasibility, life-of-mine scheduling, and in the ongoing re-evaluation of mine plans throughout the production phase. Windows is essential if you’re a serious gamer and often gets updates (Chrome, Spotify and so on) before Mac OS X does. On the downside, its ubiquity means it’s a popular target for peddlers of.
Macbook Pro
- Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
- Processor Speed: 2.4GHz
- Number Of Processors: 1
- Total Number Of Cores: 2

I opted to do an upgrade rather than a clean install, something I would not have dared to do if I had been installing any version of Windows. But Mac OS X has a pretty good track record when it comes to upgrades, so I figured I’d give it a shot, and I wasn’t disappointed.
The install took about an hour or so on each machine and there wasn’t a whole lot for me to do while it was happening, so I opted to surf the web on my iPhone to whittle away the time during installation. Continued…

Public Canon Printers:
Whittle Mac Os Update
- Identify the printer you're installing drivers for: Refer to the public printers list to find the name, location, and model number and for the printer you want to install.
- Download the appropriate installer for your version of OS X from the link provided on the page above. Building 240 Canons should use the PS driver. You can also use the UFR_II driver if you prefer.
- After installing the driver software you will need to create a printer 'queue' in System Preferences.
- Open System Preferences -> Print & Fax
- Click the plus sign in the pane that opens.
Note: you may need to click the Lock and enter the Administrator password - On the top of the widow that opens click IP and choose the following settings:
Protocol => Line Printer Daemon - LPD
Address => Enter the printer nearest to you found on this list. (Be sure to include the domain after the printer name. Example: pr-2d11-color.mcs.anl.gov)
Queue => Leave blank
Name => It's free-form, you can call it anything that makes sense to you, by default it will fill in the name that's in the Address field.
Print Using => Click the dropdown and choose 'Select Printer Software... ' you'll be presented with a list of printer drivers,
you can whittle down the list by typing in the model number in the search box on the upper right corner.
You should choose the driver that matches the printer model you have chosen from the list, for example:
pr-2d11-color.mcs.anl.gov > Canon iR-ADV C5030 search for '5535' - Click on the driver name that comes up. Make sure it ends with'PS' if you're in building 240 only, and then click 'OK'
- That window will close and you will be back to the Add Printer Window, click 'Add'
- Click 'Continue'
- If you get a dialogue asking for the Communication Setting, choose 'Bidirectional'
- That should be it.
Yay. And Huzzah.
