USB Switch for P1006?

Please help! I probably need to learn to set up a network, but for now I am trying to use a Belkin F1U200 4-port switch so that my HP P1006 Laserjet can work from two computers. I am getting a "USB Device Not Recognized" message in my icon tray and the printer will not work.. I have two switches and have tried both with my Brother All in One -- they work.
!) Is there a USB switch that will work with the P1006?
2) I have read that there is a LAN Adapter available for it -- is this hardware software and where can I get it?
3) Is networking a good way to share my printers with my computers? (Better than manual switching)
I have one 32 bit Vista unit right now and will be adding the Compaq CQ5700F with Windows 7 shortly.
I appreciate any help you can offer,

But what I did find interesting was that the USB switch device has 2 USB devices you can switch. I added the second device which is a USB Hard Drive and it switches just fine. I wonder why it does but not the keyboard?
Keyboards & mice are unique among USB devices. I don't know the exact details, but from my limited understanding, in general a USB device can only be controlled by one computer. So with a KVM, you normally present a virtual keyboard and mouse to the computer so that when you switch, you're not actually disconnecting the keyboard/mouse. This minimizes problems when each computer has the keyboard in a different state. For example, when one computer has the caps lock on and another doesn't.
In your case, I'm wondering if the Kensington isn't really acting as a KVM, but just a USB switch. So the keyboard is not reset properly after the switch. Thus the need to unplug the keyboard, which resets it. Non-HID devices may be fine, but just not HID, which is why I suggested a different keyboard on the chance that a different one may "reset faster" or whatever when being switched. (And preferably a different model of keyboard to ensure that it's not something inherent in the design of that model keyboard.)

Where can I find a print driver compatible with OS 10.7 for USB HP LaserJet P1006?

Where can I find and download a print driver compatible with OS 10.7.5 on iMac for USB HP LaserJet P1006?
Ran software update. Apple notes that a driver is unavailable, consult HP (who seems to offer only info but no software download available).
Any troubleshooting info or hints are appreciated.

Hi LPfromMA,
I'm sorry to hear you've run into difficulties finding the driver for your HP Laserjet P1006 for your Mac OS X 10.7.5.
I have included a document with the steps to download and install the driver for your printer and your Mac. It has a section for a USB connection. I have also checked HP.com and there is driver for Mac OS X 10.7.

Can I share my iPod with other devices using a USB *Switch*?

Hello
I'm trying to design a set up that will allow me to share my iPod with my PS3, Xbox 360, and G4 Powerbook. I only need to use one sharing device at a time.
As of now I plan to have my 30Gb iPod Video, a USB Keyboard, and USB Mouse, running through a Belkin USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Hub. The hub will plug into a 4-way manual USB switch. (allowing me switch between the PS3, 360, and G4 devices)
My goal is to easily switch and stream content to any device from my iPod, as well as provide the switched device with instant access to the Keyboard and mouse plugged into the hub. Hopefully the hub will also be able to power the ipod and and charge a bluetooth headset as well.
I'd like to know if anyone has experience with a similar setup, and more specifically if there are any reasons why this wouldn't work properly?
My main worry is that there is no way to eject the iPod on the Xbox 360 or the PS3. So if I switched the USB port while the iPod is reading "Do Not Disconnect", do I risk corrupting the data or otherwise harm the iPod?
Any help would be appreciated, please let me know if I should clarify any details.
Thanks in advance.

Belkin USB Switch

How do I get my Belkin USB switch (F1U201) to work with OSX Lion? It worked with Snow Leopard, but not Lion.

Is that powered or unpowered?
Lion is a bit hungrier than SL, so there may be less power available for USB ports. Thus any power the hub can get from a wall socket will always help, even if this is not the primary cause.

Belkin USB Switch Problem

G'day
I have Mac OSX (10.4.6) operating on an iMac with a 2 plug Belkin USB switch that connects to a HP PSC 2210 printer and a Dell running XP. The iMac shows the Belkin switch icon in green and will print with the Dell showing the Belkin switch icon in red - but when I make the switch and the Dell icon goes green and the iMac icon goes red there seems to be no way to make the switch back from red to green on the iMac. When I manually swap the USB cables the Belkin icons immediately swap colours and I can make the switch by clicking on the icon on the Dell - but not on the iMac. Having to manually unplug each time is a pain!
A correct answer gets free cold beer downunder!

Bus powered USB switch with a printer

I think I know the answer to my question, but I'd like to get a few other opinions.
Here's the question: Will the Airport Extreme supply power to a USB switch?
Here's what I want to do: We have a Canon all-in-one printer in our office. When it's connected to the AE, we happily print wirelessly. However, when we need to scan, we have to unplug the printer from the AE and plug it into our Macbooks. Inevitably, the printer doesn't get reconnected to the AE (cough, DH), and so I get irked. To keep a blissful household, I'd like to connect the printer to a 2-port USB switch. One port will then be connected to the AE and the other port will have a dangling USB cable for use when we need to scan. My issue is that I can't seem to find a simple USB switch that also has an AC adapter. Everything I see online is bus powered and from what I can gather, the AE does not provide power to the USB port. Is this in fact true?

Thanks DaddyPaycheck - I looked on amazon, newegg, and tiger direct with no luck, but hadn't checked OWC. Whatya know, I found exactly what I was looking for.
Kensington ShareCentral 2
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Kensington/33900/
I ended up buying it on Amazon for the same price with free shipping. It's good for two USB devices, even though I only need to share one printer, but the single USB switch was actually more expensive.

Is it possible to make a BIOS usb key for a PC on a MAC?

I am not sure where to ask this question but If I needed to make a BIOS flash drive for a PC computer such as an HP Laptop or Desktop, would it be possible to do on the MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion? I ask this because I thought I was going to need to make a BIOS flash update for an HP system and I did not want to use a CD to do it. I had downloaded the flash drive tool from HP which under a windows system would make a USB flash drive. I tried running the tool under Windows 7 on both a VM session and a boot camp session but both times I would get a message saying something similar to "You don't have permission" even though I was doing it as an admin. Turns out I didn't need it anyway but for future references can I even make a bootable usb key for a PC on a Mac?

Thank you for the info. I found the problem that I had under the Windows 7 on Mac was the extractor(hpusbf.exe) was not running under the Admin mode so it wasn't given permission to modify the usb File system. I think the other issue is that I was trying this on a 8GB flash drive and it kept telling me the partition was too large. I found the switch to use 2048 blocks and it created a bootable flash drive. The problem I have now is when I tried it on my old HP laptop, it boots up saying "FreeDos Fat" and stops. So I don't know what is going on but I think I am going to stick to making bootable CDs I just have to get some Re-writable CDs so I don't waste the CDs.
I tried your solution on the mac side and tried copying the dos files over but the drive would not boot. I think the problem is that the command.com file is not set as a system file. I am not sure how you can set command.com as a system file for windows under the MAC operating system. I know in windows you use attrib +S filename.

Cisco USB Driver for Microsoft Windows 7 PC?

Hello All,
I want a USB Driver for the USB Console cable which came up with Cisco Router.
Note that this USB Console cable has both the sides USB ports ( 1 side of the port goes to USB Console Port of Router and other side goes to USB port of your Laptop)
I searched on cisco.com.
Found the below link:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6880_x/hardware/installation/guide/b_c6880-X_hig/b_c6880-X_hig_appendix_01001.pdf
However, when I go to download link, it appears as "Page Not Found"
I want to try this option and connect my Laptop's HyperTerminal to Router's USB Console.
Does anyone know the USB driver for this?
Thanks
Chinar

Hi Chinar-
It looks like this will work with Windows 7.

Foot pedal switch for rendering

Would it be possible to rig up a foot pedal switch for rendering? I do a lot of effecrs and layers. I just calcluated it would be easier to step on a switch than hit option R. Or whatever. Can this be rigged?
Chris

As you can remap the keyboard, why not simply remap the render to be a single keypress rather than opt-R.
If you can find a usb footswitch that generates a map able keypress signal, you could use that, but seriously - what X said.

Volume pedal and foot switch for the Keystation 61es

Hello!
Is there a way to add a volume pedal and a foot switch (for patch changes) to the Keystation 61es (using a MacBook with MainStage 2)?
I know that the software will be able to recognize the pedals, but there are no ports on the Keystation for them. I was hoping that there might be a USB MIDI interface for pedals, or a volume/foot switch USB MIDI pedal.
Thanks!

Yeah, I don't play piano parts on the 88es. Have and bring 88-key weighted hammer action for that. Turns out the extra keys on the 88es aren't just for notes that are heard. Key switching presets in EVB3, or switching from legato mode to poly... You can use those extra keys for all kinds of stuff, including patch up/down... That's the power of MainStage... If the song is really busy, there's more keys to map out different zones to...
I compensate for the lack of knobs and switches, and not having aftertouch either by having a novation remote sl61 mk2 in the live rig, no shortage of knobs, sliders after that!
So, my live rig consists of 3 controllers, plus the FCB...
The FCB1010 is cool, replaced three volume pedals and three sustains pedals with it. Replaced the standard ROM with the UNO chip, some gotchas in this as well, but so far with a little thinking and creative reassigning in MainStage and it all works. No USB MIDI on the thing, so I had to try several USB <> MIDI interfaces until I found one that worked that also supported external programming of the thing... But... I use it and it works, is heavy, stays put and I don't have to "chase" pedals moving around on the floor while I play!
Still amazed that m-audio thought there was any benefit to saving one input jack on that back panel, would have thought it was more economical to have the same assemble in both the 61 and the 88, with the only difference being number of keys...
Hope this all helps, ping if you have any questions!

Canon printer and usb switch

Canon Pixma MP 600 and iMac running 10.4.9...won't recognize printer if I go thru Belkin USB switch...works if I hook up directly to printer and PC works going thru the switch...any suggestions?

Thanks for feedback....but no idea what a "KVM" is...I presume another model of switch? I wouldn't mind spending the 50 bucks for a new one if I knew it would solve the problem (switch that is).

Reset, hdd led etc. switches for MSI K9N6GM mobo

Can anyone tell me which of these (and the other HDD etc) connectors go to which pins? Or tell me where I can find out? There are three banks (I think that's them, they're in the usual place for these on other boards and there's nowhere else they can go) 4, 5, and 4 pins in the rows. The speaker connector has 4 sockets (but only two wires) so I guess that is one of the rows. Other than that I can't tell. They don't seem to be numbered but between this bank and a single three pin jumper is the word 'USB C/D'.
Also, where is the FAN 1 position? (not so important perhaps, I've found FAN 2) Should the fan run when the unit is plugged into the main (no switch for mains on the unit), but without the reset etc. buttons above being connected? It does!
Sorry to be long winded, thanks in advance for the help,
Schoonerman.

Judging from what you're asking you must be missing the manual.
Exactly which model MB is that one as I don't find it listed? Look between the PCI slots for the model name & number. That's not an OEM MB for a Compaq or some such thing is it?
Edit: Best guess at this time is this one:
K9N6SGM-V / K9N6PGM-FI / K9N6PGM-F manual

Time Capsule, MFP, and scanning via USB switch

Has anyone tried to share a multi-function printer between Time Capsule and an iMac using a USB switch?
The TC and the printer work fine together for wireless printing, but I'd like to be able to use the MFP's scanner with my desktop without swapping the USB connection each time. Has anyone gotten such a setup to work, and if so can you recommend a particular USB switch?
I would connect the iMac to the printer by USB via one branch of the switch, while the other branch would connect the TC to the printer for wireless printing.
I know that another solution would be to connect the iMac to the printer and share the printer using OS X's printer sharing feature, but I'd like to avoid forcing the iMac to remain on in order to print.
Hardware: Canon Pixma MP830, iMac (2.7 GHz Core i5, running Lion), Time Capsule (4th Gen., 2TB)
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Please explain exactly what you mean by "plugging the NAS into the ethernet port on the imac and the TC via USB". I can't picture how you have things connected.
I'd plug the NAS and your iMac into Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule. If you want to assure that you're copying over Ethernet, then turn off AirPort on the iMac.

USB Device for IPOD not recognized by Windows, whether ipod connected or no

During the past few days I have received a pop up error message from (I would think) Windows that the USB device is not recognized. I have the USB plug for the ipod connected (as always)but the ipod isn't even connected. It keeps popping up like every few seconds that the usb device is not recognized.
When I attach the ipod itself, the ipod is recognizing it because it powers up. But, it took 10 times just to get the ipod to recognize through itunes. It updated, then immediately upon completion, windows again starting giving repeated error messages that the usb device wasn't recognized.
I have downloaded the newest itunes but I had it on my system for 4 days with no problems whatsoever. I don't think that's it. No other system changes.
I've deleted my temp files and cache. Also did a "disk clean up" and "defrag." It's still doing it.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. Ever since I upgraded to version 7, iTunes & my PC no longer recognise my iPod, and it therefore won't sync.
It's not the USB port (other devices work in it), I rebooted my iPod and re-installed iTunes, I've tried stopping and starting the iPod Service (but can't see my iPod in My Computer). When I run the Diagnostics it says iPod connection failed. I've even bought a new USB cable but that doesn't work either.
This is driving me up the wall. Is there a glitch with iTunes 7?
Can anyone help me out?? Thanks

Remote deployment switches for Jabber 9.2.2

Are there any installation switches for remote install via the MSI/DMG?
I will be pushing this backage via Dell KACE K1000 appliance and would like to configure default options for the users during the install/upgrade such as Disabling (or 'unchecked' following initial sign-on) the Docked Window, configuring Phone Accounts, WebEx Meeting and application Integration settings.

application integrations setting mostly get pushed out through the profiles on CUPS that get pushed out as soon as the user logs in.
I can't help you out with all the switches you asked for but, you can starting using:
msiexec.exe /i "\\lsrftufs1\ict\Networks\Voice\Jabber\Jabber 9.2.2\CiscoJabberSetup.msi" TYPE=CUP DOMAIN=somedomain.com.au LANGUAGE=1033
This will at least use auto discovery of the presence server if you use an SRV record _cup._login.somedomain.com.au
so at least your useers wont have to type in a presence server name or IP.
