I've tried help and a search here but can't find how to save a leadsheet to a flash memory stick. I need to print it on a mac.

I hooked up a printer to the pc laptop and spent hours trying to get the toshiba to tell me how to identify the numbers of the usb ports so I could tell the computer where it is.

Perhaps just getting the file to the desktop might work. I only use the laptop for biab practice and gigs. So I am ignorant enough to get myself into trouble but not smart enough to get out.

Thanks for your time.

Ron

Thought I had it worked out but the search function never heard of the clipboard. But the page I was on [leadsheet] knew all about the clipboard. C and P doesn't seem to work either. Can I see the clipboard somehow?

You can save the fake sheet to a pdf through the print function to a memory stick.

I do it all the time

I also use CutePDF, but there is also PDF995 that comes free with BIAB if you have a recent version.

USB ports do not have addressable numbers, to my knowledge.

It's possible I'm missing something. I explained above I could not get the printer recognized by the pc. The print page has nothing about pdf files as a possible choice. thanks for taking the time to help.

If your computer (the PC) does not "see" the printer, then you won't be able to print PDF files as well as anything printed through a software program print menu.

But I'm still not clear on what is wrong here.

In BIAB, version 2014 anyway, if you search the Help, Index for "Printing", the last paragraph talks about printing to PDF.

If you install a virtual printer on your PC such as Cute PDF or PDF995 or a whole host of other similar choices, then you should be able to select that instead of an actual printer when in the Print menu, and create a PDF file. Then use a flash drive or email or Dropbox to copy/send that PDF file to your Mac, which I assume has a working printer.

If that hasn't answered your question, then please supply more complete details of what you have and what you are trying to do.

Every time I go online [with a pc] to download something I feel like I have been mauled and mugged by beggers,lepers and con artists. There is not a download page that does not try to misdirect you to the wrong choice, or slip in 6 other spurious downloads hoping you won't notice. It gives me the creeps. It's a bordello for begging. It's jist biddniss iddnit?

I thank every one for the help. I managed to get bullzip into the pc. Don't know what to do with it yet. I have only gone online about 3 times from the biab laptop since 2011. I have not had good luck porting pc downloads from the mac to the laptop. Usually the page tries to send a mac version.I just don't know enough about the windows OS. I only ever use biab with it.

There was not a audiophile vesion of biab at the time I got the pc. In case you are wondering.

Follow the instructions in the next-to-last paragraph of my last reply.

The audiophile version works the same as the regular in this regard.
