Can't setup print in mozilla's reader plugin

I have installed new version of Adobe Reader - 11.0.0.379.
Now when I want to print from Adobe Reader plugin in Mozilla Firefox, I get following dialog to setup print properties:
I need to set size option value to actual size, but I can't. How can I setup print properties like in Adobe Reader?

You are right. The reason is in Firefox 19. There is internal PDF viewer here. You can re-enable adobe reader plugin in preferences. Find Portable Document Format (pdf) in tab Application and select Use Adobe Acrobat.
Thank you very much for your advice.

Just got a macbook, and I cannot print on my printer. I used to be able to print on my printer with my old Dell laptop, but I can't print with my macbook. I can see the printer network on on my macbook, it says it is my default printer, but I can't print.

I just got a macbook air and I cannot print on my home printer which is networked through my wife's window based computer. I can see the wifi network, I can see the printer, it is set as my default, but I can't print.
Any ideas?

You may have to visit the printer manufacturer's web site and look into their support pages to get a print driver for your Mac, and install it. Or see if you can see if a driver may already be in your Mac by checking settings, since there are many drivers already installed in Mac OS X.
Good luck & happy computing!

How can I setup DMZ network

Hi,
I would like to setup DMZ in my network to access 5 servers from internet. We have total 6 public IP's from service provider. We have firewall ASA 5510 with 4 ports. 1 is used for outisde interface with public IP, another 2 are set in redundant interface as inside interface and 1 port is free. i want to connect all the five servers to this port as my management does not want to get DMZ traffic in to inside network. firewall is setup in router mode. Can someone please help to configure this?
Regards
Mukesh Patel.

Interface GigabitEthernetx/x
nameif dmz
security-level 50
ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shut
The FW interface becomes the GW to your servers and you can assign static IPs to the Servers in the 172.16.1.0/24 range then you can install a L2 switch and create a shared L2 vlan between the FW DMZ interface and the Servers that needs to talk to the DMZ interface of the FW.
Then you can configure acls for DMZ and apply them to the DMZ interface.
access-group acl_dmz in interface dmz
Do not forget that to make the 172.16.1.0/24 servers reachable from outside, you need to create static NAT entries for each server. For example:
static (dmz,outside) Server_Public_IP_1 172.16.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.255
static (dmz,outside) Server_Public_IP_2 172.16.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.255
static (dmz,outside) Server_Public_IP_3 172.16.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.255
static (dmz,outside) Server_Public_IP_4 172.16.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.255
static (dmz,outside) Server_Public_IP_5 172.16.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.255

Can't setup wifi network

Hi Apple
I have had major probs setting up my AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n (AEBSn) in the past, in the end i hired a home pc guy who also couldnt figure out AEBSn software but somehow managed to setup everything through windows control panel. Since then the product has been working fine... Until now. I've replaced my old laptop with a new PC and my Wifi network has dissapeared. The AEBSn still has a solid green indicator light, home network is functioning fine.
I have and upstream gateway adsl2 modem plugged into the wall, running to my AEBSn (which i beleive is setup as a bridge with a static IP) which splits the internet to my PC, NAS, HTPC. All cables are cat6 and all access points are recieving a connection. Its just the wifi that isn't broadcasting.
The setup manual doesnt say much, the apple aiport software ultilty recognizes the AEBSn as a 5th gen 802.11n. It assigns a name, airport ID and IP address. Current version 7.5.2. If i try to update from the main screen it gives me the 10057 error, if i try File>Configure Other it gives me the -6753 error.
I have read this discussion
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3289924?start=0&tstart=0
and i guess ill attempt to fix the 10057 error in hopes i will then be able to setup a wifi network.
Actually if anyone can offer a workaround so i dont have to use the airport utility that would be great.
Cheers

Can not setup a network connection when I re-install Solaris

Hi,
I got a problem during the Solaris 7 installation in an Intel Platform. At the 1st time of installation, after I finished the Host Name window, the installation program would popup a "Network Connectivity" window to ask me "Networked: Yes/No". I chose No. The installation continued. Finally, the installation finished successfully. Then I realize I may need the network support. So I formatted the Solaris partition and started the installation from beginning. However, at this time, the "Network Connectivity" window never popup. After I finished the Host Name window, the installation program immediately switches to the "Time Zone" window. I tried several times. No chance to set up the network again. I guess the installation program may save some flags in some place (floppy disk?, CD?, NT partition?). Those flags can not be removed by formatting the Solaris partition. I searched around but could not find out anything. Can you help?
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin:
I can think of a few things that may have gone wrong.
i) Do you have a supported network card. See the following site.
http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/hcl/
ii) When you start installing Solaris. There is an option to install from different Media (Harddrive, CDROM and network). During this time did Solaris give you an option to install of the network. This is a sign that Solaris is able to see the network card.
iii) You do not need to re-install if you need to add networking to Solaris. There are many ways to add the networking feature. The simplest is to use the sys-unconfig command. Please NOTE THIS WILL REMOVE ALL CONFIG INFO ON YOU SYSTEM.
Hope you get the network working, 'Cos "Network is the Computer" :-)

Can i setup print from my iPad to HP6500 wireless printer?

tried to connect ipad to be able to print using hp6500 wireless printer, can i do this? if so, need to learn steps. Tks

That printer is not supported by AirPrint (see article below). Therefore, you would have to find some third party app (or an HP app) to print to it from iPad.
If it were an AirPrint printer, you would get more support directly from Apple utilities.

Officejet Pro 8500 A909a - setup can't find printer, HP Network Diagnostic does

Windows XP SP3
HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a CB022A
DLM1FN1006BR
I have been fighting with this printer for the past week, put at least 40 hours into trying to fix this alone. I will never buy another HP product for my office again.
Windows can find the printer on the network. HP Network Diagnostic can find the printer on the network. But the latest version of the installation for the printer, that I downloaded from the website last week, refuses to find the printer on the network. I would do this without the HP software if I could but I need the functionality of hitting the scan button on the printer and it converting those scanned documents to PDF.
Here's a list of things I've tried:
Finding the printer by IP in the setup (doesn't find it)
Using the HP Scrub tool for this printer at all levels (L1-L4) MULTIPLE times followed by deleting the files in %temp% and then reinstalled the full software package.
Disabled all services and startup items.
Disabled the Windows firewall. Tried with Windows firewall installed as well.
Restarted the HP services in services.msc
Updated MSIEXEC.
Un registered Re-registered the msiexec
Re-registered ATL.dll
Ran subinacl to make sure all permissions are set properly.
What I don't understand is why the HP Network Diagnostic can find it and the install can't. It seems to me that without installing all the HP software, I have no way of using the scan button to scan documents - the scanner just says "Select Computer" followed by "No Scan Options".
Can anyone tell me what I've missed in troubleshooting?

Bump? Anyone have any sort of advice? Or is everyone seeing that I've followed every step in the HP Support site and nobody knows what else to suggest?

My printer is connected to the network and is accesable,I can not setup webervices cant reach server

HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a
Windows 7
Cannot connect to the server.
Check the Internet connection and try again. Or contact your system administrator or the person who set up the printer.
If your network requires a proxy server address to connect to Internet, click Enter Proxy or check your browser settings.
The printer is connected to the network with proper DNS I am the adminastrator

The steps below typically resolve the issue you’re experiencing:
1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the back of your router (and modem, if separate from the router).
3. Wait 20 seconds, then plug the router (and modem, if applicable) back in.
4. Wait 30 seconds, then plug the printer back in and power it on.
5. Press the ePrint button on the printer's front panel, and it should try to connect to Web Services again.
Those steps usually resolve the issue, but if it still occurs you can try setting static network info for the printer (which sometimes helps to stabilize the printer's ability to get outside of your network, to the internet):
1. Press the network icon at the top of the printer's screen and note the IP address.
2. Enter the IP address into the address bar of a web browser on a computer and press enter or click the browser's go button.
3. The printer status page should be opened. Click on Network at the top.
4. Select Proxy Settings.
Note: If you are prompted for a redirect, select OK. If you receive a certificate warning, select the option that lets you continue anyway.
If you receive a Internal System Error, refresh the page until it loads the proxy settings.
5. Verify that all fields are blank. If they are not, clear them and make sure the Proxy Server requires authentication is unchecked and click apply. You should get a success message.
6. Click on IPv4 under the correct connection (wired or wireless) on the left.
Note: If you only see IP Address Configuration and DNS Address Configuration with a yellow note, refresh the page until it loads completely.
8. Leave the IP Address Configuration as Automatic IP.
9. Change DNS Address Configuration to Manual DNS server.
10. Enter 8.8.8.8 for the Manual Preferred DNS Server and 8.8.4.4 for the Manual Alternate DNS Server.
11. Click Apply and you should get a success message.
12. Power off the printer for 30 seconds and then turn it back on to force the new settings to take effect.

Can no longer print wirelessly - False Message - "Network Host is Busy"

Fairly new to Macbook, but when I initially set up my printer wirelessly it worked fine. After recent 'updates' to the OS and HP drivers, I'm stuck with the 'network host is busy' problem that I seen in many other threads. There have been NO changes to my hardware - same router, same printer. Print jobs sit in queue and host is always 'busy' but it's not, really. There doesn't seem to be a good and actual "solution" for the issue yet. Here's the details:
Macbook Pro, 13"
Mac OS X 10.6.4
HP OfficeJet J6400 (drivers - 3.0.4 - just updated with the latest update from Apple)
Printer is running ONLY wirelessly, it is not hooked to a PC. It has an IP assigned by my router.
I have two PC's that print to it just fine, wirelessly.
I removed the printer from the Macbook, and re-installed it sort of manually using IPP as the protocol. The Macbook 'sees' the printer, and I can access the printer utilities to view ink levels, see the hardware/firmware information, etc.
I can also print a test page wirelessly from the Macbook, because as I'm told, printing a test page bypasses the drivers; and if you can print a test page but can't print normally, it would seem there's a driver issue, no?
One thing I don't know how to figure out is the 'queue name' so I leave it blank for 'default'. This is the only wireless printer and there are no other shared printers.
So I'm pretty well stuck, and have to move files or send links to my PC so I can print stuff (flawlessly) from there since the Macbook won't print at all - I always receive the 'network host is busy' message. The frustrating thing is, when I first installed it months ago, installation went very smoothly, and everything worked perfectly - until recently.
I know it's not just me, but any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Macbook Pro 13" Mac OS X (10.6.4) HP OfficeJet J6480 with latest drivers from Apple

Checking the HP web site I could not find a manual for the J6400 but there was a J6410 and its User Guide states the following...
1. Click the HP Device Manager icon on the Dock or in the Hewlett Packard folder in the Applications folder.
2. From the Information and Settings list, select Network Printer Setup Utility.
I also found the following HP wireless support site that suggests the print queue creation is performed by the HP software. No mention of how to configure the Mac queue manually.

Can no longer print on any network printers or on printer wired to USB

I changed the printer to "Select printer" save as PDF
since then i can no longer print to any printer on network
also I tried to connect a printer direct to usb. still no luck.
I have tried to update software
I have tried to select different printer on network
I believe the problem is in a setting that automatically changed when I selected "Save as PDF" as one of the printers.
there are so many tabs and locations on this system I just don't know where to start

First thing to try is go into your system preferences using the little apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen. Go to printers an see if your printer is listed there. Go through the settings looking for something that would lock it to acting like a PDF exporter all the time. Sometimes the printer utility will have a "Print Test Page Option".
Installing some software, like Adobe, will also install dummy printer drivers that show up as "PDF Printers" in the Printers listing. This could be set as the default printer, but shouldn't stop you from selecting a different printer at print time.
If all else fails, you could try removing all he printers from your System Preferences, then reinstalling your current printer with default setups after restarting the computer. When it sees the "new" device it should start the install process like it did the first time. If you are not comfortable doing that, better to wait for better help or you could end up being worse off than you are now.
I too print to PDF often by selecting the option at the bottom of the print page. But it doesn't lock into that mode. It prints to the printer by default.
Good luck.

Officejet Pro 8500 A909G Can't Scan to Network Folder - Install won't detect Printer

I have installed an 8500 on a wireless network. There are 2 PC's; 1 is XP Home, the other is XP Pro, both are Service Pack 3. The Router is a Linksys WRT54G2, Wireless adapters in both PC's are Linksys Wireless G - PCI cards. Both PC's are running McAfee Total Protection software and they are up to date. Windows Firewall is off. I'm using a 9 char SSID (all alpha), it isn't hidden and I'm not using MAC filtering. Security is WPA2 using a pass-phrase. I have added SLP service on Port 427 in McAfee on both PC's for UDP and TCP. (I've also opened up 135-139 and 445 for File sharing.) All devices configure using DHCP. The printer was turned on first and gets 192.168.1.100, XP Home gets ...101 and XP Pro gets ...102. Signal strength for both PC's is Excellent and the LAN runs at 54.0 mps. (I can't think of anything more to describe how everything is setup. If anyone needs something else, just ask for specifics.) Now the PROBLEM:
During installation: 1) XP Home discovers the printer just fine, all is happy and all works as advertised. 2) XP Pro doesn't see the printer when searching for printer (not recieving SLP Packets?), I have to go to advanced and search by IP Address. There is some point after this that I receive an error saying I need to check port 427 etc. I check continue installing wireless and ignore errors. When install is done XP Pro CAN print. I CAN run HP Solutions Center and scan. I CAN'T go to the printer and press the scan button and "Scan to a Network Folder", I CAN'T setup this function for the XP Pro machine using ESS. I CAN access EWS from either PC (that uses port 80). I have tried turning off the McAfee firewall to no avail (of course McAfee doesn't exactly turn off completely - I have read in some other forums). I'm not sure what to do next and I'm spending WAY too much time on this install (this is a customer of mine). I was about to tell them I can't turn on this one option - then I tried to turn on file-sharing and found it doesn't work either! I could point the finger at McAfee because it sounds like their kind of problem, however, both versions are identical, and both have been setup the same. The only real difference is XP - Home vs Pro. If anyopne has seen this kind of problem on an XP Pro box please let me know. I'm now just scratching my head with no other options.

I have a customer with the EXACT same problem. I HONESTLY thing that HP has a driver/firmware problem here.
Three different computers, A desktop, a laptop and a Netbook (sounds like a joke...) NONE will allow Scan to Print. I have installed/uninstalled around 9 times now - HP sent the customer a NEW printer in December - still no workee. Spent 5 hours on phone with tech support - NO WORKEEE...
Here is the maddening part - the SCAN TO E-MAIL works PERFECTLY!!!!!!!! ALL other functions work Perfectly - but Scan to File just fails stating that it can't find the computer.
I can ping the Printer, I have disabled ALL anti-virus, firewall software, scanned with Malwarebytes, TrendMicro Housecall, Eset NOD32, and Kapersky scanners with negative (good) results for bugs...
I'm just happy that SOMEONE else is having the problem... (so that I know that I'M not COMPLETELY crazy....) (The scene in OFFICE SPACE keeps playing through my head, the one where they take the fax machine and play baseball with it...)
Help!!!!

Can't setup ePrint / Web Services on a new HP 8600 Pro Plus Wireless Printer

I just purchased a new HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus All in one printer. I setup the printer on my home wireless network and it prints great. I am now trying to setup ePrint and when I go through the option to setup the Web Services /ePrint function on the Printer or via the web application for the printer I get the following error:
"Cannot connect to the server.
Check the Internet connection and try again. Or contact your system administrator or the person who set up the printer. If your network requires a proxy server address to connect to Internet, click Enter Proxy or check your browser settings."
My primary PC is running Windows 7 Home Premium with Svc Pac 1, 64 bit
My home network is set for DHCP and I do not have a Proxy Server setup but the Web Services setup page is asking for a Proxy Server an Port.
I have already established a ePrint ID but cannot complete the process until I can get the Printer Web Services setup process to complete.
Any suggestions?

HI Adrianf;
Hope you are doing well,welcome to the community,
I wil take several steps to make sure they are not causing the issue,
Try this tool Click here
I will also set an static ipaddress for my printer and change the DNS servers provided by your ISP to Google DNS servers
How to set an static IP address
Follow these steps to assign an unchanging static IP address to the product through the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
Open a new Web browser window.
Type the IP address located on the Network Configuration Page in the address bar of the Web browser, using http:// to begin the address e.g. http://192.168.0.1 Then press Enter . The EWS home page for the product opens.
In the EWS screen, click the Network tab.
Click Wired (802.3) , and then click the IPv4 Configuration or the IPv6 Configuration tab.
Click Manual IP . The Manual IP Address box opens.
In the Manual IP Address box, type an IP address with the same values in the first three sets of digits (subnet values) as the product's IP address (listed on the Network Configuration Page), and a higher value (between 1 and 254) in the fourth set of digits. This creates a static IP address on the same subnet, but outside the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) range.
For example, if the product's original IP address is 192.168.0.1 , assign the static IP address to 192.168.0.200 .
NOTE:
Do not type the static IP address use as the example. Enter a static IP address based on the IP address for your product. This can be found on network configuration page.
Enter the Subnet Mask and the Default Gateway settings as they appear on the Network Configuration Page.
Click OK to save the new settings, and then click Exit or close the browser to exit the EWS.
While you are here in the IPV4 you can set the DNS servers of google instead of the DNS servers provided by your ISP just change the option of automaticly select DNS server and use this;
DNS servers of google are 8.8.8.8 and alternative DNS 8.8.4.4
Make sure that the operating system is updated, that the routers firware is the lastest.
Hope it helps and best of luck;

How to setup a network printer via http

I have a router with a USB printer attached to it. It looks like this:
Printer status: Ready
Printer location: http://192.168.2.1:1631/printers/My_Printer
In Windows you setup a network printer and the printers address is the http address above. How do you add this type of printer in the printer setup utility on Mac OSX 10.4.11 and 10.5.x?

For OS X 10.5, you use the following settings
As mentioned by bdaqua, open Print & Fax and click the IP icon and then select IPP from the top drop menu. Then in the Address field just enter the IP address; don't enter the leading 'http://' and don't enter the :631 (the mere fact that you have selected the IPP protocol means that it will communicate on port 631)
Then in the queue field you can enter printers/My_Printer, although some router perform a translation for the shared printer so you only need to enter the shared printer name in the queue field.
As for the name and location fields, these are just free text for the local user and have no bearing on the queue details.
And as for 10.4 I have no idea or way to test this at home. But if you use a mix of mine and bdaqua's information you should be okay.
