I’ve been doing this for years, but I’ve never written an article about it. I have an easily accessible folder, available from anywhere, where I throw anything that is temporary. I can easily find what I need, but it doesn’t clutter other places up. Read on… it’s better than it sounds.

My 10 year old DocuCentre-V stopped working when I upgraded to the new silicon M1 MacBook Pro. It was giving a ‘Failed’ error in the printer message window.
To resolve this I needed to download the Fuji Xerox Print Driver for Mac OS X Installer and re-install the drivers again. (I used migration assistant to bring everything across including the drivers, but they did not work.)
Here’s the link:

I found the driver by searching for DocuCentre-V C7775.

I use a spark as my OS X email client but my mail is hosted by Google. After about seven years I found that I reached Google’s free 15 GB email limit and I could not receive any more emails. I could have started all over again with a new Gmail account but I wanted to keep my existing Gmail address. I could have deleted some old emails but I wanted to keep a record of them all. What I did is I created a new gmail account to keep a record of my old emails before I deleted them. I copied all my emails to this account. Then I could delete all my emails and get some more room on my everyday Gmail account. Here’s how to do that.
