You posted this in another forum. Don't cross-post. For that matter, there was already a booting-XP-on-Intel-Macs discussion in the Lounge. Read the rules already.

Let's end this here. This is NOT an Applications issue anyway. It's about the OS, and it's already been done to death in the OS forum.

It doesn't matter what I print, or what Mac I use to do it, printing even the most simple of documents uses a huge amount of the CPU capacity. On my home iMac G4 it virtually alway…

What kind of printer do you have? Cheap printers and pretty much all inkjet printers currently available use `host-based printing' which means the host (your computer) has to do …

The ones I use regularly are Canon inkjet printers, sorry I should have said that. I take your point though, they are just dumb boxes after all. Thanks for the info.

Just one last bit of clarification: you will have the same effect with inkjet printers by HP, Epson and Lexmark (except for very few, e. g. some HP Business Inkjets). Also, very …

I've always wondered the same thing. Thanks for explaining it to us.

Never noticed that, I guess the 166 MHz RISC inside of my 'old' LaserJet 2100 TN is guilty here :-/ Could be it?… since there is no comparison between it (CPU inside LaserJet) and …

Probably if you buy a large expensive inkjet it will have its own processor. My school recently got some 13x19" capable HP 2800 inkjets that most certainly do their own processing …

Well, there are only a few. HP's Business Inkjets (the new K550 and the older 2xxx line) do have its own `brains', the same goes for the not-so-popular Canon Business Inkjets. Th…

Re: what printer, I use an ip4000 at home and an S9000 at work, both do the same thing.

When working in Tiger or Panther if I click on a document eg: word, illustrator, photoshop, indesign. and the application that is supposed to open this document is not open already…

This is a security warning to prevent e.g. trojans from launching a malware application without your knowledge. You don't want to disable it. If you are getting this warning every …

This happens from clean installs and those that have their launch services database cleared the link from document to application survives a logout but not a restart. I know it is …

This seems to happen after updates too, fwiw.

Have asked Apple about this they say it has been referred to engineering. Any other suggestions out there

Changed Ownership on application from admin to system thus bypassing launchservices no more do you want to etc. Thanks Bill and Beans
