Cannot add new printer, selection grayed out

I have been using a brother MFC-9420CN. I have been sharing this printer with a windows computer over a wireless network. It has worked flawlessly since I hooked it up. After the last 10.4.6 update for the OS the printer no longer works. I first noticed it when I selected print from a menu. The top selection said the printer name but there was a grayed question mark next to it. I opened the printer utility. The printer was there but would not work. So I removed it from the list and went to add it once again. When I clicked on add a new menu popped up. The menu searched for new drivers and then stopped. On the bottom of the menu is three selections. One for name, one for location and one for print using. They are all grayed out. Because there is no selection in the above menu for me to choose. I tried deleting all the brother print drivers in /library/printer/brother folder. Then I reinstalled. Same problem. I cannot selet a printer now. I also tried hooking it up diretly and nothing happened. I then tried the IP printer selection. At the bottom there is a print using selection. It shows the brother cups driver but when selected and then I choose to add it a message comes up that says "An error occured while trying to add the selected printer error code 50" The printer still works over the wirless connection on the windows computer. Thanks for any help...

I found a work around for this matter. Most of the time, I use spotlight to remove anything on the hard drive that has anything to do with "Brother Printers" Then I reload the CD that came with the printer and it works ok. Every now and again if I cancel the print job on the printer the computer will do this hiccup and say there is no printer. This is my work around.

HT1329 Create New Version selection grayed out, what is wrong?

I have adjusted the preferences to MP3 but when I select a specific song to create a new version, the options are grayed out. What else do I need to do in order to convert my previously purchased songs to MP3 so that I can play in my car.

Where is the song you are trying to convert located? Is it of kind Protected AAC?

Add WPS Printer ALWAYs grayed out

This is driving me nuts. I've searched high and low and can't figure out how to get this "Add WPS Printer..." menu item to light up. I'm following the (very poorly documented) proceedure provided by Canon for my Pixma Pro-100. What am I missing?

I was able to get it to ungray out by clicking on the AirPort Extreme and authenticating. Then it appeared.
I had to do it a few times, and the sequence that seemed to work was starting WPS on the router first, then starting the search on the printer.

Cannot add new items to a value list in AW database

I have a database which I have been using for many years. One of the fields is a value list. I just went to add another item to the list, and no matter what I do, the Create button is grayed out. I have another value list in the same database that works fine.
There are currently 170 items in the value list that is causin the problem, but I didn't think that there was a limit to the number of items that can be is a value list. (At least there is nothing in the AW technical specifications to indicate thin. I duplicated the existing database, deleted about 20 items from the list, then saved the file, and reopened it, and still cannot add new items to that value list. Does anyone know what might be causing the problem?

Oops
I read too fast.
Here is a short script which may help.
Replace the pop-up item by a text one and edit the property myList in my script to fit your needs.
Select the field to fill and run the script.
Then choose an item in the displaid list. It will be pasted in the selected field.
This trick would give you to work with a "no limit" list of items.
-- [SCRIPT DB fillFieldFromAlist ]
Assuming that
the front document is a database one
and that a text field is selected,
run the script to select an item in a list
and paste it in the field.

IPhon 4: After recently updating to version 7.1.2, all my past calendar entries disappeared and I cannot add new entries.

What account were you using to sync your Calendar? Make sure that account is added to the device, and make sure that Calendars is turned on for that account.
Then, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and make sure that under the Calendar section that 'Sync' is set to 'All Events'.
Then go to the Calendar app, go to Calendars, and make sure that you have that account enabled.
Then, close out all the running apps on your device, and restart it.
Open up your Calendar app. Are your entries back?

Cannot Add New Form Fields

I'm troubleshooting a problem with an existing pdf document in our office. Though I install Acrobat I do not use it on a daily- hence my asking for assistance. The computer is an Optiplex 745 running WIN XP Pro SP 2 with all updates.
The doc is a 42 page human resources document that has both scanned and original (made in Word/Acrobat) pages. Though I can edit existing fields/boxes, I cannot add new ones. I can select "add fields", click and drag seeing the crosshairs and field/box area, but when I let go, nothing happens. No new field and no erorr messages.
I've checked the security- it's wide open (no security) and layers- it has none or only one. The user who reported the problem is using Acrobat 5.x, I've tested it in 5.x, and 9 (standard and pro) on my computer with no success. I've included screenshots of the doc info below in hopes that they might provide some clues as to the problem.
Thank you for any assistance that you may provide.

After discovering that the other primary user had a local copy of this form- I tried that in Acrobat 9 and it was editable. So it appears that it was the form itself.
I'm resaving the local document to the network drive (where the problem doc came from) and updating both primary users to Acrobat 9. One was using 5 the other 7. Hopefully that will prevent any further problems.
Thanks for your assistance.

Cannot set new in points or out points

Just installed Premier Elements 9. These controls are missing in my Preview panel, in the sceneline. I have one inpoint and 1 outpoint per clip, cannot add new ones. I also tried configuring keyboard short cuts for these functions, no effect. What can I do?

You are most welcome.
Video editing is a very intense process, for both the computer and for the user. At first blush, some things do not seem that intuitive. Also, there can be differences in nomenclature and also mechanics, program to program.
For a "quick start," I highly recommend Steve's books on PrE (and PSE too), from Muvipix. He takes the user (new, or old) through the program in a very easy to read fashion. Though I was very familiar with NLE's, editing and even PrPro, I got so much out of his PrE book, that I was up to speed quite quickly. His books helped me to easily locate things that I knew had to be there, but were just placed differently, than in PrPro - also some names had changed and processes grouped differently. He also covers shooting videos, and general editing tips. Much more info than even the best manuals cover. I'd typify his books as a great manual with Adobe Classroom in a Book, all in one place, and at a great price. Make it a holiday present to yourself, and you will not be sorry.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt

Add new printer driver

Hi,
We need to add new printer driver in SAP application server , how to add new driver?
Actually we have some graphics and fonts which is not supporing SAPWIN .we have different printers ,these printers I could not see in SPAD .
I foung many notes which did not help me . Can you please suggest step by step how to add new driver.
Please dont suggest help.sap.com , It will not help me .
- Lisa

First, you need to download the sap driver of your printer model from the manufacturers websites, usually the file has an extension *.pri this is different from windows drivers. Next, save the file to a any directory (e.g. c:\temp) then logon to your System. In TCODE spad > goto Utilities > For Device types > select Import. A window will be opened > tick Device Type >
Object name: type the exact filename of your downloaded file (xxx.pri) to be imported
Mode: IMPORT
F8/Execute
Select the Local Object button and browse to the location of downloaded file and select open, this will start the import process. When import process is complete a pop message will be shown "Object successfully imported"
Note: For alternative drivers try to use ZSAPWIN.
Hope this helps.

It appears to be a bug with the current build. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release.

Try some maintenance actions:
1) Reset Printing System:

2) If that doesn't help, repair the hard drive and permissions after booting from the recovery partition:

Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)

Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)
The Journal Batch Approval notification goes to one or more approvers but when any approver opens the journal and tries to approve, the approve batch button is greyed out and nobody can approve the Journal batch. The approver has every authority amount and other wise.
Any idea what might be wrong? Do I need to setup something in Preference pages etc.,?
Thanks for your help.

Are you looking at the Workflow Notifications page or GL page. Please give me the navigation used to reach the page. Typically in workflow notification details page, the Response buttons are either displayed or hidden based on whether the notification has a Result Type attached or not. I don't think they are greyed out based on any rule.
Workflow notifications does not check the approval authority by itself. Ann appropriate workflow notification with right content and result type should be sent based on the approval authority checked in a previous function activity.
Thanks
