Both HP8000 (C4086A) networked printers truncate several characters left margin after Windows Update

Our network is a Small Business Windows 2003 network. After the Windows Updates this month both of our HP8000 (C4086A) networked printers truncate several characters left margin; and it doesn't make a difference what the OS is, Windows XP Pro or Windows 7; all 32 bit.
There are no issues printing to a networked Toshiba ES-555.

I want to backup my pinned tabs and my bookmarks as they have been lost several times after windows updates

several times after system crashes and sometimes after windows updates my pinned tabs have disappeared. How can I back up the pinned tabs and bookmarks??

Firefox stores the bookmarks and the browsing history in the places.sqlite database file..
There are 10 rotating daily JSON backups (bookmarks-####-##-##.json) in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder, one for each day that Firefox is started.

Unable to connect to Office Wireless Network (802.1x) after Windows Update

Hi, my notebooks are on Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit. We have only recently started Windows Updates.
We are on a Wireless network 802.1x.
In the past, we are able to do the following steps :
1. Open the "connections are available" window by clicking on the wireless icon (signal bars with yellow sun)
2. Right click on the desired network and choose properties
3. Change settings (eg. MEAP or use local Windows credentials etc)
4. Click connect to connect
Now, from the "connections are available" window, when we right click on the desired Network, only "connect" is shown.
In this case, I cannot connect to the network as the settings are wrong, if I cannot connect to the network how do I change the settings ?
Please kindly advise

Hi,
I agree with britishdhez.
In addition, I would like to confirm which update caused this issue. Is it a driver update? I suggest installing driver update from the manufacturer's website.
You can also reinstall the wireless driver:
a. Click Start, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter.
b. Expand "Network adaptor".
c. Right click on your network card and then click Uninstall
d. Remove the driver software at the same time.
After that, restart the computer and reinstall the network card driver.
Meanwhile, you may run the Network troubleshooter to see if it can help diagnose and solve your problem:
Using the Network troubleshooter in Windows 7
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-sg/windows7/using-the-network-troubleshooter-in-windows-7
Also, please remove the wireless network profile for a test.
Delete a profile
At the command prompt ( Win+ R-->CMD ), type:
netsh wlan delete profile name="ProfileName"
For you reference: Netsh Commands for Wireless Local Area Network (wlan)

PS: Some updates...I tried it in IE as well (I use FF when working with applications) and funny enough the photos and documents get displayed/the download box shows up.
But, all the files have the name f. f.pdf, f.jpeg etc
I tried calling the dl_image procedure in the url (currently I call a new page where I pass the file id to an application id and then I call the above procedure in a pl/sql block):
http://www.host/pls/dad/schema.dl_file?p_fileid=1
And the name seems ok. I don't think it's a good idea to put the procedure name in the link, is it?

Network Printers are visible but will not work

I have a MBP 10.4.8 networked to my desktop (PC) that has twoprinters attached to it (Epson R800 and HP PSC 1315) I can see the printers on my MBP but I cannot print to them. I have received two different errors. 1. no memory and 2. cant connect to the samba host. Also,I cant find the HPPSC 1315 in the Printer Model list. I have searched several forums and have tried several resolutions but still cant seem to get it to work. I updated HP and EPSON drivers, installed ghostscript and the other hpjils (?) Does anyone have any other suggestions?

the changes i was referring to were using the Advanced~Windows Printing via SAMBA~then typing the URL. If I chose More Printers, Windows Printing , then Network Neighborhood, my network (homenetwork) and workgroup show up on the list. If I choose my homenetwork, then my desktop PC name appears, if I select that, both of my network printers appear. That is what I did before doing what you suggested.
I enabled the guest access on the desktop PC
I checked the names and I do not use "special characters" My printers are named hp and epson and my desktop is desktop2.
Does apple offer classes for this sort of thing? I hate bugging you about this

Dropping Connection with My Two Networked XP SP2 Machines, Windows Update Issue???

Sorry to interject a completely different problem here, but I have experienced the following.
Blame me for the newb I am, but here is what I did after repeatedly losing conn and thinking that my modem was burned up after 2 years of use:
1) Attempted to buy a new DSL modem on Easter Sunday...good luck...
2) Went back home after not finding said modem to find connection working again
3) Wife did not use her desktop for 10 days due medical procedure (no connection problems)
4) Wife gets better, uses her networked computer, I start losing connection again.
5) Not realizing step 4, I call ATT dsl and am told, maybe you need a new filter on your DSL line. DL speeds return to proper speeds, think I am fine.
6) Wife uses Outlook 18 hours later while I am on my networked machine, we both lose connection
7) After reconnecting all possible wires, realize maybe the problem is with the latest Windows Update Patch OR a router problem
8) Go to my trusty Best Buy contact at nearby store, named Jason, and ask Jason if he has heard anything like this in the last 6 weeks...He THANKED ME PROFUSELY as he and his brother were experiencing the SAME networking problem. Jason removed the past 7 windows update patches and that removed the problem for him.
He has since turned off Windows Updates. Jason said that a couple of the update patches could not be uninstalled, but the 7 or so that could be uninstalled did the trick and he has not had dropped connections since.
Anyone else experiencing this? I talked to a cable modem user/friend and he has been experiencing similar problems but the Microsoft utility with his router allows him to double click to re-establish a connection, unlike me who has to power everything down, count to sixty, and power up.
(I have not yet uninstalled the patches but wondering what others have seen)
Thanks for the posts peeps!

Hello,
Is DEP enabled on the ThinkPad T30? If so, does disabling it make any difference?

Networking with other computers after xp updates stops

will networking with other computers be possible , safely after xp updates stops?

None of the functionality of Windows XP will change. Everything you can do today you will be able to do next month. The only thing that is different is the fact that there will no longer be updates issued for XP. If you
are doing ONLY internal networking with no internet access, you have nothing to worry about. If you have internet access, then you will need to be especially certain that the anti-virus is up to date, and you have a good firewall running.
Please do not read this sentence. Please ignore the previous sentence.

Chinese Characters on Network Printers

Hi,
I am currently using 2 network printers. One is <b>HPLJ 3015</b> and the other is <b>Fuji Xerox DC450 PCL-6. </b>
I am able to print the English characters properly but when I try printing the Chinese characters, it either gives me "Junk" or "doesn't print anything". I changed the Spool access method to "Front end" and the chinese characters printed perfectly.
I tried using all the Chinese compatible device types provided but none of them seem to work for these Network printers.
Can anyone please let me know if there are other device types I need to download/install and from where I can do that? I have tried the HP and FUJI Xerox sites and was not able to find any "Chinese" specific drivers. Any help regarding this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Chinese chars printing fine when you change access method to frontend because, windows driver may be substituting some fonts with true type fonts.
Check chinese fonts installed on the printers by printing font list from printer's controlpanel menu, if a chinese font is not there in the list, PCL font DIMM or soft font needed to print from SAP via network. Use device types CNHPLJ4 for simplified chinese and TWHPLJ4 for traditional chinese.

Network printers take long time to show in control panel - devices and printers

G'day,
an annoying effect both on Win 8.1 and Win Server 2012 R2: after installing/connecting a network printer for a user, it takes about 10 minutes (sic!) till printer is shown in devices and printers...
Printer is shown and can be used immediately after connect in word/notepad, but properties of printers can only be managed via devices and printers. Work around for setting standard printer: open notepad, click
print and right-click printer.
But we have to choose a special printer profile, which cannot be done else than devices and printers.
Sometimes even previously installed printers do not show for minutes after logon...
Restarting spooler: no effect
Changing drivers: no effect
Printers are Konica C554 series and 4700P series with Konica PCL drivers.
Print server for network printers in Win Server 2012 R2 (VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2)
No other network issues.
Thanks and regards.

Open the printer folder the spooler team built. It's hidden but available and will list just the printers not the devices.
If the print shows up immediately, the spooler has the information. You will be running the shell command to invoke the old UI.

Enumerating into the Devices and printers UI is then the issue.

Upgraded to 10.5.8 and now can't see either of my networked printers

Hello all, I just upgraded my G5 dual 2.5 to 10.5.8. I have two printers that are both connected to separate Airport Extremes. My G5 ethernet port is connected to a linksys WET11 wireless ethernet bridge, which is in turn connected to the wi-fi network of the main airport. Here is my problem. I can surf the web just fine, so clearly my G5 is seeing the Airport. However ever since upgrading to 10.5.8 I can't add either of my networked printers in the printer setup. It just doesn't see any printers. I've reset the printing in the OS (control clicking on the print prefs and resetting followed by reboot) I've rebooted both the printer and the airport separately and I've double checked that the printer is set as a shared printer in the airport admin software. My laptop (an ibook g4) also running 10.5.8, has no problem seeing both networked printers and printing to them. I'm flummoxed as to why my tower suddenly can't. (It could see both with the exact same setup running 10.4.11) Any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated, since this is very frustrating! thanks,
-Andrew

Your network setup is a little complicated. Can you explain it a little better and confirm that there's only one DHCP server in it - all devices get IP addresses from one of the Airport Extremes, for example?
It sounds like maybe you have two or more separated subnets.

Solution for Network Printers who've lost Appletalk?

Figured out what appears, so far, to be a solution to those having issues with older network printers and the loss of Appletalk in SL.
After trying everything recommended to make my HP 4050n work under SL, and just about to give up and start shopping for a replacement printer (much to my disgust - my 4050n has been a workhorse and is still in perfect working order, even at 10 years old!), I spied the $29 Apple USB Ethernet Adapter I purchased for my MB Air sitting on the corner of my desk.
Well, I had tried everything else to no avail (because my ethernet IP had to remain unchanged from its DHCP settings for my cable modem to work), I figured, what the heck, and moved the printer's cat 5 cable from my e-net hub/switch to the adapter plugged into a USB port. Lo and behold, SUCCESS!!!
The OS recognized it as a separate "USB Ethernet" device, allowing me to set a separate IP Address for the printer than the modem. Following the steps below, some as outlined already by others, I now have my legacy 4050n working and available as a network printer. Yay!
1. Cold Boot your printer to reset to original factory settings (see manual or mfgr.'s website for method).
2. Print out a configuration page using the printer's menu and note the new IP address (apparently, it's often 192.0.0.192).
3. Plug in your printer's cat 5 cable into the adapter and the adapter into an open USB port.
4. In System Preferences > Network, configure the new "USB Ethernet" selection's IP address manually (I used the "DHCP with manual address" setting) - I found that it's best to set it one number down from the printer address, so, in my case, at 192.0.0.191.
5. Go to Print & Fax in System Preferences and click on the "+" button to add a new printer.
6. In the drop down window select IP for the connection type at the top, then a protocol (in my case, I have the HP with a Jetdirect card, so the choice was the HP Jetdirect socket), the enter the printer address from the configuration printout and type an identifying name into the Name box. When I did this, it almost immediately found the correct Printer driver (something that had alluded me in all my previous attempts!) and I was back in business.
Here's the link in the Apple store to the adapter:

Hope this helps!

Hi George,
Does this happen for every Network Printer or specific one?
Did you find any network performance problem during your issue?
Firstly, please check your printer driver, update to the latest version on both client side and Terminal server. If you are using Easy print driver then you can try to disable that and check the result. For that you need to disable the option “Use
Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first” under below path.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Printer Redirection
In addition also check there is no any network issue. More information:
1. Printer Redirection
2. Bandwidth Allocation for Terminal Server connections over RDP
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Network Printers Loading Slow

Hello,
I am an IT technician working on a remote desktop/terminal server running Windows Server 2008 R2.
I have run into a problem recently where a user's network printer connections are taking a long time to load, some times up to five minutes after they have logged in.
This is a problem as the user has over 20 network printers in their profile that they use, and they often try to begin printing as soon as they've logged in.
What I have found is that the printers load instantly if the user's profile is changed to local, however we want our user accounts set to roaming for other reasons.
I am now wondering if it is possible to specify maybe through group policy or the registry, to load network printer connections from the user's local profile, but keep everything else roaming. Or if there is another solution to this problem
that could be recommended?
Thank you so much for your time, this issue has been giving me trouble for some time now and if you could help me solve it I'd greatly appreciate it.
Best regards,
-George

No network printers could be found. Windows XP SP2 All In One Officejet L7680

1. I can print to my network printer just fine. It is assigned a static IP address of 10.0.0.1
2. However My solution center software started messing up badly (it use to work fine scan/fax etc... )
3. When i attempt to reinstall everything is ok except for when it tries to find the printer.
        it says "Search complete, no printers found." so there is an option to enter the IP address manually and I do. It immediately says "No network printers could be found". obviously since i can print to the printer and and ping it and get to its home page the printer is fine.
4. This happens with 2 of the three versions of software available for download. The IT professional use works but it doesn't have solution center which i need to scan docs.
      The basic and the full suite both exhibit the same behavior.
5. I've followed all instructions on troubleshooting with software removal and installation on the HP site but nothing has worked.
6. I see others have posted similar problem with no reply or resolution posted.
* - one important note is that even when following the advanced removal process (uninstall, msconfig to stop services, unregister hp services, delete directories and registry entries).... the "Shop for HP Supplies" still exists somewhere or at least i think so... because when i try to install software from scratch it always says this portion of the software is already installed... so this is a little fishy because it sounds like maybe there is some stuff still hanging around.... I also tried running the advanced software removal tool and it doesn't seem to do much good either.
    BTW the problems i started having with solution center all occurred after I allowed one their automatic updates to execute.

Hi,
   I ran into this a few months back... and ultimately i posted some how-to's on here... but basically something got botched with the isntallation... and what i learned thru pain was that un-installing and re-installing wasn't enough because the un-install process did not remove (registry entries, files/directories, services, ports, etc... in order to make for a clean reinstall).
   I also learned that the downloadable software does not have all of the framework needed for communication. So I had to find my original install disk and i had to go thru a very painfull (30min to 1hr) search and destroy registry mission... and other software removal steps. Once i got the software off completely and re-isntalled the sol man software worked without issue on detecting and finding the device and using the software.
    Now since then i read in another article (you can find it)... that HP provided a 2nd more advanced removal tool... but I'm not sure how well that works...
    Again if you search for my posts i think i put everything in there that you need to do.... and i do agree that I will never by a nother mid grade small office printer from HP... hardware is fine but software support and workability is complete *#&%)#&

I can't see my network Printers when i installed Time Capsule

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I had a wireless network using my NetGear router so i can share internet and two network printers. The network printers are connected to the router using ethernet wires. Now that i installed Time Capsule i can't get the Network Printer to print.

I did what you said, made sure that both network printers where turned on connected to TC and ready to print, then i opened my system Preference, Print & Fax, i removed my two printers that where there before and working, then hit the plus sign, add printer, here's what's different, my MacBook Pro, under AppleTalk and one of my printers can up and it now works but the other didn't. So on my iMac i tried the same thing but no printer showed up under AppleTalk, i did find the two printers under "Default" and Bonjour was under "kind" i said install to both and it did. I just tried printing to both printers and now i have two bouncing printer icons on my doc with a massage " Attempting to connect to host 192.168.1.10" for one of the printers and the second "Attempting to connect to host XRX92CABD.local." i'm starting to think that i didn't set up the TC correctly or i have some option in TC setup wrong.

Can't see any bonjour network printers

I have a MBP 17" running 10.6.8 and I've lost the functionality to see or add any network printers.
It was running 10.5 and I lost the ability to see or add new printers. I reset the printing system and then lost the ability to see any network printers at all. It still recognizes our HP printers when plugged in via USB, but not over the network. So I upgraded to 10.6.8 today to see if that would solve the issue. It didn't.
I go into system preferences and try to add a printer but it shows that there are no available printers. Even though on my MBP 15" I can see both of our HP printers over the network just fine.
I can add the printer via the IP address and choosing the correct driver but I'm still unable to print. I CAN print a test page from the HP Print Utility...so it can see and talk to the printer (HP Photosmart Premium c140), but I still can't see it under the Print and Fax preference pane.
I'm at a loss here.
Does anyone know why I would loose the ability to see any Bonjour devices over the network? Any thoughts on solutions?

I have an HP c309a All-In-One printer and am having a similar problem. After upgrading to 10.6.8, I can no longer scan wirelessly but I can still print. Bonjour seems to have disappeared and is no longer a means to connect to my printer. It will only connect via Bluetooth. My mother has the same printer and OS and she too said she's having problems scanning.
I've tried to scan using HP scan software, Preview and Image Capture to no avail. Of course, the Apple Tech said I should talk to HP which I did. The HP guy said, I should be able to use Bonjour and that there is probably a conflict between Bonjour and Bluetooth. If he gave me anymore advice, it would cost me $20 because the 2 year old printer is out of warranty. Ridiculous.
