Can't get Printer to Share need INF file

I have a HP 6500 E709n All in One Printer and I cannot get it to share. I have it connected to my Computer running Win 7 and I want to share the Printer with my Laptop running Vista. I cannot set it up to share, I get 2 error messages all the time the one is:
The file "INF" on (Unknown) is needed I cannot find the INF file and can't download it. The other error messages I get is:
The Print Spooler has stopped working and was closed or the other error message is: Spooler Subsystem APP stopped working and was closed.
When I check the Print Spooler In Services it is on Started and on Auto, how do I get rid of these error messages that appear all the time and get my Printer to share to my Laptop? As a point of information the Printer is set up correctly to share.

Make and model number of modem?
Make and model number of router?
Computers connected via wire or wireless?
OS of computers?

How do I get print n share to work after upgrade to iOS 5. I can print from this app thru wifi. But it can,t print mail, web pages, etc..

How do I get print n share to work after upgrade to iOS 5. I can print from the app thru wifi and PC. However am unable to print mail, web pages, etc..
In mail when I try to print it just says can,t find air printers. It used to say print with print n share.

I sent e-mail to developer regarding this and they said that basically Apple has denied them access to the Airprint dialog in the new source code for iOS 5. So, the only way to print to pdf is to capture the e-mail or webpage in the internal apps within Print n Share. INHO, this really *****. Apple should make printing to pdf files just a standard feature of all their apps. If they don't do this, they are going to lose alot of business to the Adroid world as pdf file format is the business standard for all documents.

# As to what is the best browser, it is subjective. I think it is the best, others will disagree. There is no special version for Windows Server 2003, the usual version works on it.
# It is free of charge and will always be free.
# It is open source.

Rob I am sorry I didn't mean to cause any problems, it is just that I was having so many difficulties with my purchase and I couldn't get any help. I tried to chat with someone and your system told me that I didn't have that option or something like that. I couldn't find contact telephone numbers either. I finally got to chat with someone that helped me, but that was at the very end. Anyways, I figured things out. I apologize for being so rude and referring that I hate Adobe. I actually don't, I just didn't like it that I couldn't contact anyone for help.

I have iphoto '08 version with an imac osx 10.5.8. It will not read my RAW files from my Nikon D800 - a very new model.How can I get it to read my RAW files?

my somewhat old imac osx 10.5.8 with iphoto '08 will not read my RAW files from my new Nikon D800 camera - a new model on the market( 5 months or so). How can I get iphoto to read my RAW files?

iPhoto 08 would not read RAW files from that new a camera. You need to upgrade so you can get more up-to-date version of OS X and iPhoto. Another possiblity is see if iPhoto 11 will run on 10.5.8, if so you should update. You can also attempt to run Software Update and see if it finds a newer release of iPhoto 08 that supports newer RAW formats.

How can i get my email out of the file box icon?

How can I get my email out of the file box icon? Sometimes I touch it by accident and the email message goes in there.

Another thing to try is renaming it with a .htm or .html extension.
If that doesn't work either, do you have any other files from your old system? In particular, if you have your old places.sqlite file, you could use that to overwrite your new places.sqlite (bookmarks+history) file.

I have a recorder that outputs wma files. How can I get garageband to use my wma files?

I don't think that GarageBand can use wmas, but there's always good old conversion, and GarageBand can definitely use mp3s. Personally, I recommend media.io for stuff like this, but of course it depends on the size of your files. Otherwise I don't know that there's anyway to get GarageBand to work with them...

And I followed this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS specifically http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUP … rinter_PPD and http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUP … s_to_Linux. But I run OO and I still only have Generic printer.
I was using the Gnome cups manager on Ubuntu, but I cannot find this package on my system now. I see it in AUR but shouldn't it be in pacman? I have searched and searched but can't find it. And I installed gtklp, but upon startup it just gives me "No printers found!" and exits.
EDIT: I have just built gnome-cups-manager from AUR and am at the point where I select a driver, however in the Manufacturer list there is nothing showing, and when I hit Install Driver and select the .ppd I got from the CUPS site for my printer, it just says "The PPD /usr/share/cups/model/Lexmark-X125-drv_x125.ppd is already installed" I can't get past this point??

on xp box
1) install and start lpd daemon (done)
2) set printer sharing (short name, no spaces) (done)
3) make sure that xp allows tcp 515 (done?)
on linux
1) start cups
2) open konqueror (not firefox) and enter in the address bar
http://localhost:631/
log in as root (I assume that basic cups with user is configured)
3)select add printer
- first page:set priter description
- second page: Select device lpd/lpr host or printer
- third page enter lpd://hostname/queue (hostname if defined in /etc/hosts, otherwise ip address of XP box queue -> printer share name
- fourth page select manufacturer
-fifthpage driver
test it
KDE
K Menu -> Settings ->Printers ->Add -> follow screens
I found KDE method (under Arch) more reliable, but both should work. No idea about Gnome.

How can I get Print to PDF to accept oversized page sizes?

To level set, my platform is Mac OSX 10.6, Snow Leopard.
I sometimes create banners and such that are designed to be plotted/printed on large format printers. For example, a banner might print to a page that is 12" x 72".
Now, I don't actually own such a printer, the FedEx Kinko's down the street does, hence I don't have a driver installed for it.
I really don't know the "best" tool for creating these drawings. I have tried MS PowerPoint (which can't seem to accept paper wider than 56 inches) and have used NeoOffice Draw, which seems to work ok until it comes to printing time.
When I try to print to PDF, which is what the folks at Kinko's want, the printer systems always asks if I want to rescale the print to fit my 8-1/2 X 11 home printer(s). No, just print it "as-is" is NOT a choice and neither is "Any Printer". I end up having to crawl through setting up odd sized paper under "Any Printer" and somehow, I still don't really understand how, the print to PDF now saves the file sized to print as drawn.
So, I can see a few possible approaches to making this easier.
Install the print driver for the printer at Kinko's. Only, I don't think the installation process will allow that unless the printer is connected.
Develop a dongle that fools the Mac into thinking the printer is attached. Cute idea that could make money if I sold them, but hardly reasonable.
Develop a dummy (virtual?) print driver that can be added without a physical printer having to be present and which opens a window when you "print" to it that allows you to specify the page size and other information with which it will "lie" to the OS and say, "Yes, I am a printer capable of doing this....". (FYI, I am a programmer going on 30 years now.)
So, before I teach myself Objective-C and how to use Xcode, is there a better or known solution? Is there an existing product I can use? Is there a driver development kit for virtual printers? Any chance I could get a C++ kit and not have to learn Objective-C?
Thanks!

Incorrect. Win or Mac, you can install a printer driver w/o the printer being connected.

You're using the wrong tools. PP shouldn't even be in consideration; I don't know about NeoOffice, but I tried its cousin LibreOffice, and it has issues with custom paper sizes; which is not surprising, given what these apps were designed for.
What you need for actual banners (not web page banners) is a vector drawing tool or a DTP app. I'd say Illustrator or InDesign, but Adobe CS is expensive, and, if you're thinking of PowerPoint for this job, you're not ready for it.
You can try Pages; although not quite DTP, it can do the job and it's inexpensive. There are other options, such as Swift Publisher (a DTP app) or Intaglio (a drawing app) -- both are more expensive than Pages, but still affordable; or you can go open source with Scribus (DTP) or InkScape (vector; requires X11). You already know the ups and downs of using open source. (These are just examples; you can find others if you look for them.)
Although it's better to have Kinko's printer driver, to make sure of the correct options, you don't actually need it to print to PDF. You should be able to define a custom page size (eg, 12in × 72in) and create the PDF from it. Any app which uses the Mac OS X standard print function should be able to do it.
