6500 and 5500 printers - do you need to load both software suites to scan?

Have a 5500 officejet with the HP Director software.  Now adding a 6500 officejet with its HP Solution software.  Cant the 6500 software run the 5500 printer's scan features as well as the 5500??  To load both software suites is a huge memory hog.  Any solutions??

You'll need to installl both softwares, but the 6500 software will upgrade Director to Solution Center, and you scan from both printers using SOlution Center.
Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with \'Accept as Solution\' if it solves your problem.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    I'm trying to install Mavericks and got this message: You need 4.94 GB of available space to download OS X Mavericks. Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space. How do I do this?

    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Look though other Apple Mail folders like the junk mail and delete the mail that is in there. Look through your sent items folders and see there is any mail in there that can be deieted.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
    This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

    when you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

    In the interest of full disclosure, I can tell you that I have gotten inconsistent results from this. There have definitely been times when I have a fully downloaded iTunes rental and have gotten a message saying an Internet connection is required for authentication when trying to view it offline. Last week, however, I did the same and had no problem watching one without Internet. Perhaps they changed the policy recently, or else there is a bug somewhere in the system.
    Do note, however, that the following Apple support article states that an Internet connection is needed to authorize playback of movie rentals on the iPad:

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

    I have Adobe Reader X loaded on my computer. Adobe sends me automatic updates periodically. I have been told that some hackers have been sending what appears to be an Adobe update and when I select run it will load malicious software or spyware onto my computer. How would I recognize this attempt and how can I prevent it? I also have Norton protection loaded on my computer (via Comcast). I am not sure if Norton can protect me if I select run. Do you have any suggestions?

    Hi peterc,
    By default, Reader updates occur automatically via the Reader app itself, and this is the most secure way to receive updates. While you can choose to update manually (by choosing Help > Check for Updates), you may not always get critical updates as they're released. See Automatic updates | Acrobat, Reader. If you receive an email about needing to update Reader, you should ignore it, as that is where the malicious updates can come from. Just make sure you're letting the updates happen from within Reader, either automatically or manually.
    Best,
    Sara

  • HT201272 If you clear your phone and lose apps do you need AT&T chip to set the phone back up

    If you clear your iPhone 4 do you need AT&amp;T chip to restore it back it has no apps

    Restored from backup or restored as new?
    If you have not restored as new, that would be the next troubleshooting step.
    If you have and the issue continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • NSS and LUN expanding - what you need to know before you migrate

    Thought I'd share, since this isn't in any documentation or TID that I
    can find.
    Before you move to OES2 Linux with NSS or multipathing code or EVMS, you
    may want to consider this limitation (IMO, a major limitation if you're
    running an Enterprise).
    If you SAN allows you to grow/expand a LUN (ie, LUN1 was 50 GB and now
    you grow it to 100 GB), you cannot use the new space until you reboot
    the server itself. If you're running NCS, then you need to reboot every
    node that can host the clustered resource before you can expand the NSS
    pool.
    The issue is a bug in the devmapper portion of SLES. ANYTHING that uses
    devmapper will prevent the further layers (ie, multipathing or EVMS)
    from seeing the additional space until you reboot the server.
    Obviously rebooting servers in the middle of the day to add more space
    affects Enterprise services to your users. As does making them wait
    until off-hours before they can write/save any data to the servers. Not
    to mention rebooting multiple nodes in your NCS cluster.
    Novell won't fix this until SLES 11. Even then (ie, if you implement
    OES2 now and can live with the limitation it won't be truly fixed in
    SLES 11 if you're using NSS/EVMS), as the limitation will still be in
    EVMS in SLES 11. Therefore, you'd have to migrate your data to LVM2 (I
    believe that's what Novell is switching to). Yet another major
    disruption for your users.
    So, if you're thinking about OES2 with NSS/EVMS or multipathing, you may
    want to consider the effect this will have to your userbase (ie, how
    many times do you want to migrate your data?)
    In our case, looks like it's goint to be one migration --- to MS
    Windows.

    Hi,
    General rule, if you think rebooting is NOT an option AND you are not using clustering - you're looking for trouble.
    I know I can increase space to my cluster with out kicking my users offline.
    Worked for NSS.
    Worked for OCFS.
    Limitation noted and ignored.

  • I have a Mac pro(1 free bay) and a mac mini I need to back both of them  Is it better to use an external NAS HD or an internal hard drive on my mac pro (mid 2010) What option has the faster GB/s?

    I have a Mac pro(1 free bay) and a mac mini I need to back up both of them (time machine)  Is it better to use an external NAS HD or an internal hard drive on my mac pro (mid 2010)
    What option has the faster GB/s?

    Disk drive using native SATA bus interface will allow the drive to copy and always present and ready.
    But once you have backup any hourly changes should be smaller and as long as the NAS and your switch should allow enough.
    You should always have off line backups and don't rely on just one backup set or just TimeMachine.
    WD RED models are designed for RAID and NAS and 7.2k instead of your more standard slower green 5400 rpm green models while still costing less than WD Blacks.
