Auto install printerdriver from CUPS with info from dns record

I have a Linux server with CUPS serving our printers. Authentication is needed to print. For easy installation on our Macs, I added my printerinfo to our DNS so that the printers are browseable in OS X Lion and Mountain Lion. This setup only partly works on Mac (it works from airprint capable clients).
When I limit the list of printers to 5 or so, I can install those printers by clicking the "+" button in the printer configuration screen, and choosing the printer from the list. The printqueue is created and the correct driver is installed. I can use the printer without problems.
When I add more printers to DNS I don't get the list of printers directly when clicking on the "+" sign (the list is too big I guess). I get the "add printer" screen, with a list of all my printers. When I select a printer, the "location" field is taken from the DNS record (that's fine), but the driver falls back to "generic PS driver" instead of the driver I have set in the DNS record.
What's the difference between the "shortcut" when only a few printers are browseable, and the "add printer" wizard that list more of them? They seem to get the driver info differently.
As a workaround: anyone knows how to add a printer via commandline with auto configuration, the same way as clicking the "+" sign and choosing a printer ?

Problems with Binding and DNS records

I haver an issue where a DNS A record is only created when binding machines to the top of the forest. If I bind a machine to any other domain within the forest an (A) record is not created. IN other words xyz.com works but if I put the machine in region.xyz.com an (A) record is never created. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The data is filled when the list source or target iterator is executed during bindingContainer.refreshControl() call.
The method that performs list population is 'JUCtrlListBinding.setupListItems'.

i have a htc wildfire, and if i try to install firefox from android market place it says that my device is not compatible with firefox. how can i install it ?

According to a random website... the HTC Wildfire S uses a Qualcomm MSM7225 processor. This processor unfortunately does not support the full ARM version 7 instruction set, so Firefox cannot run on it.

Music is not included in the backup (and nor are films or tv shows), only the contents of third-party apps are included. Did you not do File > Transfer Purchases when connected to your computer's iTunes to copy your iTunes purchases over, and/or have you not got a backup copy of your music somewhere e.g. on an external drive ?

Could some please assist me with this.

Hi
The datasource for my table is the node searchcatalog. Under this node there is an attribute calles description where the items found are displayed.
I changed my code as follow:
data: ls_table type wd_This->Elements_searchcatalog,
      lr_element type ref to if_wd_context_element.
DATA lo_nd_searchcatalog TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_searchcatalog TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_searchcatalog TYPE wd_this->element_searchcatalog.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <SEARCHCATALOG> via lead selection
lo_nd_searchcatalog = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_searchcatalog ).
@TODO handle not set lead selection
IF lo_nd_searchcatalog IS INITIAL.
ENDIF.
get element via lead selection
lo_el_searchcatalog = lo_nd_searchcatalog->get_element( ).
@TODO handle not set lead selection
IF lo_el_searchcatalog IS INITIAL.
ENDIF.
get all declared attributes
lo_el_searchcatalog->get_static_attributes(
    IMPORTING
      static_attributes = ls_searchcatalog ).
lo_nd_searchcatalog->get_lead_selection->( exporting index = wdevent->index importing
element = lr_element ).
lr_element->get_static_attributes->( importing static_attributes = ls_table ).
wd_context->set_attribute( exporting name = 'SELECTED' value = ls_table-description ).
When I try to activate it errors with: List elements that take up more than one line is not allowed. This error at the sentence: lo_el_searchcatalog->get_static_attributes(
If you cannot assist me further I will understand. Thank you.

Cant install software from disk. Terminal window opens with a logon and bash message?

I cannot install software from disk & in some cases download.
If any software disk is inserted the terminal window appears.
The Disk has to be clicked to open the contents but install files or package files show as a blank doc and not the usual yellow package icon.
All that shows is a log on message in the terminal window, but nothing about install.
I thought Drive issues but the drive plays audio and DVD perfect
I cannot install:-
Office for mac updates
Live Interior 3D (managed to install from download)
ION Audio Converter
This has only come to my attention in the last couple of weeks.
The machine is a late 2011 with Lion installed

Update Rows with info from other Rows in Same Table.

I'm trying to update rows with information from the same table. The table gets loaded with info from a report that runs and it has to be a new entry every month but I would like to carry over some of the info from last month. This statement below runs but updates all rows in the new table load and in my test cases I only made a few match so only like 5 records should get updated. This is an example of what I'm trying to do. If I add this(C2.COL_INVC_ID = C1.COL_INVC_ID) to the last "*Where*" statement I get an invalid identifier for "C2.COL_INVC_ID". So what am I doing wrong here??? How can I update only the rows that where also in last months run???
Thanks in advance for any help!

If the aliases c1 and c2 aren't defined anywhere, then you can't use them anywhere.
The WHERE clause of the UPDATE statement can only reference the table being updated, ot1 in this case.

------------There's a syntax error in the last line. Either something got lost when you posted the code, or you just don't want the keyword AND. You certainly don't want AND immediately after WHERE.
In general, if it's not obvious how to do an UPDATE, then UPDATE is the wrong tool: you want MERGE instead.
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
Simplify the problem as much as possible. Remove all tables and columns that play no role in this problem.
If you're asking about a DML statement, such as UPDATE, the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements should re-create the tables as they are before the DML, and the results will be the contents of the changed table(s) when everything is finished.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.
