iMac with OS 10.10 Yosemity and the Stylus Pro 3800

[Harry Briels]

I will have the new OS 10.10 installed on my iMac and wonder whether this requires me to install a new driver for my Stylus Pro 3800?
I now have v9.22
I have read somewhere that some people are having problems printing with the 3800 after having switched to Yosemity on their iMac.

its confirmed that it wont work since the drivers wont work with yosemite
just dont upgrad OS X if your working with printing and graphics environment

and ask yourself do you need the NEW features introduced in yosemite?
no...

Hi Harry,

I too have a iMac and installed and I am using driver 9.17 for my Epson Pro 3880 for Yosemite. It works without any problems.

Anyhow: I think the reset was successful for your chips (the resetter turns green). I will send you the chips tomorrow to you.

I had OS 10.6 on my iMac and could not install Lightroom 5. So I am now going to use Yosemity, not because of new features but just to be able to use Light Room 5.0!

Hi Harry,

Are you sure? Maybe Lightroom 5 is only compatible to Lion and higher versions of OS X. You should check the Adobe website, which is the minimum version of OS X, on which LR 5 does run.

Edit, just checked the OS X requirements:

OS X 10.7/8 or higher.

Hello Pharmasist:
My iMac's OS was Snow Leopard 10.6 and I therefore could not replace my Light Room 4.0 by installing Light Room 5.0. I could have installed the OS Maverick but since in the meantime Yosemite 10.10 became available it seemed logical to me to apply the most recent OS.
Do you think I can not install Lightroom 5 on Yosemity?

Hi Harry,

I think most probably it should be OK. Adobe LR 5.x needs 10.7 or higher and you only have 10.6, thus not compatible to LR 5.x.
