Or, how to get your Xerox Phaser 3110 going on Mac OS X.

Yesterday we reported two printer brands that were identical, one with Mac drivers and one without. Today someone mentioned to me about a Xerox 3110, and I did some searching and found out that this printer is compatible with the Samsung ML-1210

To download the driver, click here. Alternate link.

1. Connect the Xerox 3110 and plug it in
2. Open the three disk image (.dmg) files - be sure to choose the Jaguar downloads if your OS version is 10.2, and install both packages.
3. Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax
4. Click '+' to add printer, you will see the printer model name.
5. Click on the driver tab, select the Samsung ML-1210 to append to this printer.

Hope this helps!! Once we come across more printers like this we will post them here to share.

The HP Slate 500 is officially backordered. Hewlett-Packard claims because of "extraordinary demand," as initial runs of a total of 5,000 units is not enough apparently, and HP apparently had to re-hire production workers just to get manufacturing facilities going again, and are presently placating angry customers by offering them over $100 off their purchase. HP had reportedly planned a limited production run of 5,000 units but 9,000 orders instead.

Jointly unveiled by Microsoft and HP at an event just weeks before Apple first debuted the iPad, the HP Slate was supposed to be a new generation of Microsoft Tablet PCs running Windows 7 under the new moniker "Slate PC," cutting the connection with the past generations of failed Tablet-sized devices.

Instead, Apple's release of the iPad quenched any enthusiasm for "Slate PCs," sending HP back to the drawing board while other makers either abandoned their slate offerings or looked into alternative platforms (such as Google's competing Chrome OS and Android OS). [ Read more.. ]

An app developer e-mailed Jobs directly after he learned his application was rejected. Two hours later he received a phone call direct from Jobs, who explained to him why his application was rejected - he was using private APIs for his app. After his conversation with Jobs, Arumugam revised his application and it was accepted into the App Store. The developer said he was very surprised that he received a personal call from Jobs.

The developer's blog can be found at this Link

Rather than posting about what a control freak Apple is like what 90% of the Internets is doing, this developer actually solved his problem by being understanding, rational and level headed throughout. That Steve Jobs called is just a bonus.
