  • Please help! New PC with Windows 7, now won't give option for duplex Color Laserjet 2605dn

    Hi everyone,  I'm hoping someone can help.  I have an HP Color Laserjet 2605dn, and after 4 years with a Dell laptop (and Windows XP) I had to get a new computer, this one with Windows 7.  When I plugged in the printer for the first time, it loaded drivers and seemed to work great - EXCEPT there is NO option for duplex printing in the effects or finishing areas.  So I went to the HP website and downloaded the Universal Print Driver, which DOES have duplex, but it won't print to the 2605dn printer!!!
    I am ready to throw this out the window.  I don't recommend buying anything new while you have PMS...hahahaha.  Seriously, if someone could help, my stress level would drop dramatically.  I print a lot, and not doing it duplex would waste so much paper!
    Thanks in advance.

    Enable the duplexer as described in the Vista / Windows 7 Duplex Troubleshooting Guide as follows:  go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the printer, Printer properties, Device settings, Installable Options, set the "Duplex unit for 2-sided printing" to installed, OK.

  • Default Strata navigation buttons used to have colors besides blue with Windows 2000.

    I recently moved from Windows 2000 to Windows 7 and noticed that the default Strata navigation buttons are now all blue. For example, with Windows 2000 the stop "X" was red and the "Forward" and "Back" arrow buttons were green. No biggie, but is there any way to get these colors with the default navigation buttons in Windows 7?
    Thanks!

    Hello and thank you for the reply!
    While I am waiting for the issue to start up again, I'd just like to cover some things you mentioned in your post. :)
    I only updated the bios because I was originally experiencing these issues. It was a method to hopefully resolve them, which did not work. I was very careful, and the process was a success. I updated to the most recent recommended driver for my motherboard
    from the manufacturers.
    As for Auslogics Boost Speed, it is not running on my computer, as it is a piece of software I only have used to clean junk files (cache/temp) for a very long time now with no issue. I have also tried updating all of my drivers with success, however that
    did not solve the issue either. I even rolled back my network card driver just in case with no luck.
    I have not thought of disabling my audio driver yet, being how it effects far more than just my audio when it happens. My mouse is jittery/laggy as well when no sound is playing. But other tests have shown that it may be a network issue. Next time it happens
    I'll temporary disable my network drivers to see if that causes the issue to clear up.
    I will be sure to mark answers which help appropriately. Thanks again! I should return with the information requested from Zigzag's wiki within 2 days of on-time, when this happens again. 

  • Which mobile broadband dongle can I use for my PowerBook G4 running with OSX 10.5.8 please?

    I was given an O2 dongle E173 as a gift but cannot use it as the specification is for an Intel Processor which of course the PowerBook G4 does not have!
    Which dongle can  I use?

    Hi,
    If a USB mobile broadband modem for some reason cannot be used with a certain computer, a good alternative can be a mobile broadband hotspot. This is a device (with a SIM card) that works like a mobile broadband modem, and is capable of establishing a wireless base station. The wireless connection between the computer and the hotspot is normal Wi-Fi. If the computer can handle Wi-Fi, there is no need for any additional software/driver installation. Below is merely one example.

  • Printer Drivers for HP Color LaserJet 2605dn

    I just added a Time Capsule to my network and my printer was working fine this morning. Now Lion says it is not connected and when I attempt to download the software from Apple it says it's not available at this time. Any ideas where to go, because HP

    Figured it out. After deleting the printer iMac only recognized another printer/scanner and set it as default on network. Changed settings and recovered the LaserJet printer.

  • Initial duplex setup for HP Color Laserjet 2605DN

    Once duplexing is set up on the HP 2605DN Color Laser Printer, duplexing is easy.
    After reinstalling, it is problematic to remember how or find instructions for initial
    duplex setup.

    Have you taken a look to the configuration of the Printer? I have a HP 2340 with duplex and to configure it I have to do the following:
    On the Preferences Pane, click on Printing and Fax or open the Printer configuration Utility. In any case, click on the printer and choose "Configuration of the printer" (in the Printer utility this is in the pritner menu). Then you will see information of the printer... May be there you have an option to activate the duplex... In may case there is a checkbox.
    But may be you have done this...
    Bests,
    Álvaro

  • Problem installing Laserjet 4050 in Windows 7 x64, No driver in Universal Print Driver v5.0.3

    I have just installed Windows 7 64Bit operating system.  I have be successful in installing several other more recent HP printers in the office.  However, my main "workhorse" printer is a HP Laserjet 4050 and I have downloaded the Universal Printer Driver v5.0.3 for Windows x64 - PCL 5 and PCL 6, and in both cases it does not find a suitable driver. The HP download site states these Universal Drivers will work, but I cannot get it to install.
    Is there a driver that will work on the 4050 in Windows 7 X64?  Thanks everyone.

    You're probably getting the "Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver" error if you're trying to add the driver while adding a printer that is shared over the network. You see, HP's Universal Printer Driver (UPD) doesn't contain the PnpIDs of every printers it supports, so when you specify HP's UPD as the drivers for the network printer, if Windows can't find a match for the printer's PnpID it spits out the driver isn't compatible.
    The way to overcome this is to install a "generic" printer locally, using HP's UP driver, and change the port afterwards to point to the shared printer. So, first, add a local printer (that will be using the LPT1 port - make sure no printer is attached!), and click on "Have disk(s)" to browse to and select HP's UPD. Going through the remaining steps should install a locally-attached printer named something like "HP Universal Printing PCL 5" (or "[..] PCL 6"). You'll then go in the new printer's properties, on the "Ports" tab, and click on "Add Port...". If you're installing a shared printer, you'll select "Local Port", click on "New Port..." and specify the path to the printer (e.g. \\myserver\hplaserj) as the port name. Those steps should do the trick.
    Last thing: beware, though, as HP's UPD PCL 6 might not be compatible (anymore) with your LaserJet 4050, as they use a PCL XL class number/revision (class 2.1; sort of a version number of the protocol) that is higher than what your printer's firmware might support for PCL6 (should be class 2.0) I know the latest versions of HP's UPD PCL 6 doesn't work with our LJ 4000 & 4050 printers, so you might have to use the PCL5e driver for those 64-bit workstations.

  • Which external hard drive should I use to save my iTunes library?

    Hi,
    So I have collected so much music and movies in iTunes that my internal HD is practically full.  (Library is over 500GB of 1TB and the rest is taken up with my apps and programs.)  It's time to purchase an external hard drive to transfer my library to.  Furthermore, I currently have a 2TB WD My Book for Mac that I am currently using for backup.  The My Book is also full and Time Machine is deleting the oldest backups to make room for the current ones.
    Here is where I need everyones advice.  I am planning on purchasing a 3TB WD My Book for Mac.  I am planning on purchasing more movies for iTunes.  Which external hard drive should I use for what?  Option A or B
    Option A:  Put my iTunes library on the 2TB external hard drive and use the 3TB for backup
    Option B:  Put my iTunes library on the 3TB external hard drive and continue to use the 2TB for backup
    Also please give me your reasoning.
    Thanks everyone for your responses!

    Limnos,
    So, let's go one step further with this.  I read your reply to moving iTunes library to an external hard drive: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4594518?tstart=0  However, if I move the iTunes library, will this include all the movies and apps that I have purchased?
    Thanks!!!!

    I’m trying to follow HP’s instructions to add a driver for HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 which is connected to my Time Capsule. However, in System Preferences I can’t “add” the printer to the print queue because I don’t have a driver and you have to select a driver before the add button becomes active.  Therefore, the Mountain Lion software update doesn’t add driver software for the CP 1215 driver because I was unable to add the printer to the print queue.

    You could try the 1515 driver or use the Generic PostScript Printer PPD when adding the printer.

  • How-to for custom universal printer driver

    Need to make a customized print driver, one time only.  Not going to make a career out of this.  
    Is there a simple, step-by-step how-to for that anywhere?
    (I've seen the 220+ page "guide", and that is not what I'm after. Way too many words for my ADD brain.)
    Thanks very much.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    OK, Windows XP may not be quite as flexible in controlling what a determined user could do, but I would suggest the following:
    Download and install two drivers, the Laserjet Enterprise 500 color M551 Printer series driver and the HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5.  After the printers are installed you can rename and customize them.  I would suggest calling the universal driver one "Black Printing" or some such.  Click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Faxes, right click on the HP Universal Printing PCL5, Properties, General, rename the printer to suit, Apply, click the Device Settings tab, scroll down near the bottom to Color Printing Mode and set this to Off, Apply, click the General tab, Printing Preferences, chooese the appropriate default print settings  (it may be desireable for this printer to select Economode in the Paper/Quality tab), OK.
    Similarily set the appropriate name and settings for the Laserjet 500 Color M551 version.

    1. which jdbc driver should be used for sqlserver 2000?
    2. which folder to put it in?
    3. how to set the physical topological "Microsoft Sql Server" to use this jdbc driver?
    failed tries:
    i downloaded the driver "SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Service Pack 2" and put it in the following folders:
    1. .../oracledi/drivers, and set this path to CLASSPATH.
    2. .../oracledi/userlib didn't exist, i created it and put the driver in.
    3. .../oracledi/agent/dirvers, in which a readme file exists and told me to put drivers in this folder.
    All these works were not useful. when I start odi.sh and try to connect to sqlserver2000 database, the same error infor came up.

    Hi,
    You should check which JVM version is required by that version of the driver, I think the 2.x versions require a 1.6 JVM
    What error are you getting? If it is the "com.sunopsis.sql.c: No suitable driver", it indicates it can't find the jar file (sqljdbc.jar) for the driver you specify.
    Drivers folder in ODI 11g is under
    C:\oracle\product\11.1.1\Oracle_ODI_1\oracledi\agent\drivers.
    if you are using the standolone version
    On windwos :
    C:\Documents and Settings\<userName>\Application Data\odi\oracledi\userlib
    on linux
    $HOME/.odi/oracledi/userlib
    Have a read of :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/core.1111/e16453/install.htm#CHDBIFAJ

  • HP Universal Print Driver

    We have a print server with various models of HP printers. I have noticed that some newer models of HP printers come with the Universal Print driver rather than an individual print driver for that model. My question is does installing the Universal Print Driver on the server interfere in any way with the HP printers we have already installed. We have mainly laserjet 4000, 4050, 4250 and have them using there own driver. I understand that installing the UPD won't automatically make all printers suddenly start using that driver, but just want to make sure it doesn't affect them in any way like updating the odd dll. Is anybody running a mix of invidual drivers and the UPD? Did installing the UPD cause any issues?

    The UPD should not impact the discrete (product specific) print drivers, unless there are shared component (dll) files. One thing to consider, is the PCL drivers do share the same unidrv "core" with other drivers (not exclusive to HP), which is provided by Microsoft. [The same holds true for the PS driver, and the pscript.dll core]. This core can be updated by a MS hotfix/patch/Windows Update, or by another company updating their software (ie. print driver update). MS acknowledges the update of this core may cause delays to a printing environment, while the update is occuring.
    Additional info can be found at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967499. Although the document is written for clustering, it applies to other Windows technologies as well. 
    There is some pretty good documentation for the UPD, found on the "documentation" tab of www.hp.com/go/upd. The System Admin Guide discusses the ins-and-outs of the driver, migration strategies, and things to consider before implementing UPD in a print environment.

  • HP Universal Printer driver no longer supporting T790ps

    T790ps 44in Printer no longer available to be added using HP Universal Printer Driver PCL6 - 
    Was this removed from supported printers?
    We only use IP printing and this printer is no longer able to be mapped using the HP UPD PCL6 - 
    Can someone please advise / update on this comment?
    Thank You - 

    Sorry, I should have asked this earlier, what version of Windows are you using? 
    Since I don't want to waste too much more of your time with you waiting for me to reply, I will go ahead and give you two links of troubleshooting steps that I would recommend trying.
    The Progress Bar on the Software Installation Stops or Stalls
    'Device Setup Failed to Complete' or 'Unknown Device' Message Displays on the Computer in Windows Du...
    The first one addresses the issue of the software not completing. The second, even though the title might not seem like an issue that you are having, addresses the issue of the printer not being recognized by USB.
    Try those and let me know if either of them work. If they don't, get back to me with your version of Windows and I will see if I can find anything else to help you resolve your issue.

  • Is there a univeral printer driver for HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP on Windows 7 64 bit?

    I had bought a HP Color LaserJet CM1312 Multifunction Printer last year - up to now I could print out via the computer of my doughter (Windows XP), but now this computer is bugged and I would like to be able to use also my own Windows 7 64 bit Computer. Unfortunately the "Full solution" does not work at all, while there also appears to be no Universal Printer Driver for my special printer. In other words: I can´t use the printer and I am upset (HP at its best?).
