DO you need Bonjour for printing on Windows?

I'm just wondering if Windows PCs connected to the AIrport Extreme need to have Bonjour to print? On our Macs there is no problem. We see the printer as a Bonjour printer. The problem is that we have a lot of clients who come to our office who have PCs and we don't want to tell them that they have to install Bonjour on their laptops just to print. Any ideas?

No you don't. But since AEBS doesn't have DNS support, you will need some kind of name resolution in order to find the printer (or any service) on your network. Bonjour for windows provides this function. If you insist on not installing it, you can assign a static IP address to your network printer, and use this fixed IP address when you add a new printer.

How do I send a large Illustrator CS3 file to a client that needs it for printing?

Hey, another way that i just discovered by complete accident is by selecting what you want to send, and in Illustrator, going to File>Save For > and then click on okay. > then you save it under Pictures or wherever you wish, and name it. Now, all you have to do is compose an email, and attach it!
Hopefully this works for you like it does for me!

Do you need Bonjour to wirelessly sync iPod?

I accidentally uninstalled Bonjour. Right after I added some songs from my PC to my itunes library and wanted to sync my Touch 4G with iCloud to put the songs on. But the iPod wont find my laptop and iTunes usually has my device appear whenever its asleep and I wake it up. The wifi-sync is turned on. Everything to allow it to synce with iCloud is turned on...Any Help?

Do you need Bonjour to wirelessly sync iPod?
Yes, and if you deleted it you may have to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it again. This will not delete your iTunes library.
To see if Bonjour is installed and enabled:
Start > My Computer (XP) (or "Computer" if you're using Windows Vista / 7) right click and select Manage.
The Computer Management window will open
In the left column select "Services and Applications"
You should see the following
In the Services pane select Bonjour Service, right click and select Properties. Make sure the "path to executable" and "startup type" are selected as shown:
If you make any changes click OK.

Photoshop CS4 - Windows XP Pro - Message reads: 'Before you can perform printer related tasks .... you need to install printer.

All of a sudden, my CS4 Photoshop will not print. It gives me the message "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." What has happened? I cannot get into any of the print or page setup menus to change preferences so where do I go from here?

I just updated my Canon MG3500 series printer driver through Canon support. Printer worked fine, but I could not print from Photoshop.
I followed all the links and the instructions on the Adobe help site, but could not go past the "Print" box in my Photoshop CS4, so none of the other information could be applied.
I could open images in Adobe Illustrator, and print from that program, but 99% of my image work is in Photoshop.
I found a link at http://yourbusiness.azcentral.com/printer-not-found-photoshop-cs4-11574.html
That information advised to locate the Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file and rename it to Prefs.psp.old, because when you recreate your preferences file, PhotoShop deletes the custom settings associated with the file.
It threw up a warning when I changed the name, but I figured I could always change it back. After shutting down the computer and printer, restarting both and opening Photoshop CS4 I was able to open the print dialog box and print photos again.
Hope this helps.

Do I really need Bonjour for Win7?

My sister tried to install Bonjour on a Dell running Windows 7. She wanted to print to a shared printer hooked up to an iMac G5 running 10.5.8. She couldn't get Bonjour to do anything. I used Windows 7 own printer installation and it worked just fine. My question is for future reference, do I really need Bonjour with Windows 7? So I can pass this on to other who have similar set ups.

No, you don't appear to need LiveWare on your phone for LiveView to function.
As far as I'm aware, the only purpose LiveWare seems to serve is just enabling you to search for and manage plugins (which you can do yourself via the Android Market).
Some users have even suggested that they have had better stability after removing it.

Deskjet 720 Series, need patch for 32 bit Windows 7, same problem as 64 bit

I have been frustrated trying to get my Deskjet 720C printer to work with Windows 7. I saw that the 64 bit problem was solved but it says not for the 32 bit. Why can't it be used on the 32 bit? And what should I do? Thanking you in advance. Mo

The 64 bit version of the drivers for the Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 series printers do not work properly as delivered and a patch is required, available here. This patch works for Vista and Windows 7, there is no patch available for Windows 8 at this time.
The 32 bit version of Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 do not require a patch, the delivered driver works. The usual issue with the 32 bit version is the port connection. The Deskjet 720c only had a parallel port and most WIndows 7 machines only have USB ports. There are USB-Parallel converter cables available, but these can be problematic. If you are using a USB-parallel converter cable you will need to make sure you have one that is compatible with Windows 7. The models mentioned in the posts here have been tested to work by folks in the forum.
If you have not resolved the issue please provide some additional details of the problem you are seeing, including how the printer is connected (parallel cable or USB-parallel cable), how the driver wwas installed and any error messsages you see.

Bonjour Weird Printing Issue Windows

I have windows xp ruuning inside of parallels on a powerbook. I'm Running bonjour on the windows side so I can print to my lexmark printer which is hooked up to my G4 desktop via USB.
When I print from my laptop wirlessly from my laptop on the mac side...no problem. When I print from windows side, it talks to the printer ( the lights come on) but nothing prints. Here's the weird part. If I open text editor on the mac side ( you can switch back and forth between mac and windows) and print some basic text, the printer works, then if I immediately try and print a word document from within windows it prints ?
Any ideas ? Is it a port issue > firewall ? Am I opening a port long enough to print through ? Can I fix this ?
This is a workaround, but not veru user friendly.

Hi,
Could you please send the test document to shilpi at adobe dot com for us to investigate the issue at our end?
Thanks,

ITunes crashes when changing properties for Printer in Windows XP

I know this has similarly been posted already, but since the post I read had been ARCHIVED, I could not respond to it. (In my experience) Its not the fact that the properties button was pressed on the Print window of iTunes, but that an option in the properties dialog was pressed. Several options ARE available. I have a Dell Photo Printer 720 installed. The software included has several options for printing. The main page has 3 tabs: Quality/Copies, Paper Setup, Print Layout. All of the options work on all of the tabs. The problem comes in when you use the drop down menus from the top of the properties window. (of wich there is a save properties dialog) The drop down windows are basically Wizards to better help you complete your task, by asking you what you want to do. If you can refrain from using thoes drop downs, whatever changes you make to the rest of that window will be allowed. This is definutly something for the design team to look into, even if (for me that is) I can still alter printer properties, from what i understand most people can't access the properties at ALL! Side note, I also have an older HP DeskJet 722c installed on another computer with no problems accesing the properties window. Im sure it has something to do with the fancy drop down windows in the Dell version, as they STAY open until you click the close button.

Need help for printing/exporting in the right format

Hi,
i'm layouting a magazine for my graduation class. And I almost finished it, but I've got a problem with printing it like I want it to be printed. I use the newest Trial Version of Adobe InDesign. The format of the magazine is A4, but when I export it as PDF (printing is the same) two pages (each A5) are exported on one horizontal A4 page. I want to have each page on one A4. Can somebody help me and say what I have to do, to get it work in my way?
I hope you can help me, and I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but InDesign is a very complicated Software
Thanks

Exporting to PDF shouldn't resize the page. Does the exported PDF look the way you want it to?
Here's all you need to know to export the file:
File > Adobe PDF Presets > (pick a format - if you're printing from a desktop printer High Quality Print is a good choice)
It might give you a warning about Transparency Blend Space which you can change under Edit > Transparency Blend Space
Make sure spreads is not checked.
If the problem is happening from Acrobat, check all of the settings in your print dialogue.
Good luck!

What information do you need ready for engineer?

Is there information I need ready for the engineer to make the install go quicker and more smoothly?
(other than a print out of the email)
Will it always be setup will all the default names and passwords or do I need a name for the wireless, password etc ready?
I've heared it's not a good idea to name keep the defaults or choose a name for your wireless network that identifies the house it's from.
Also are there any hardware/wiring decisions that need making?

Are you already using the home hub ? if so then you don't really need to do anything as the engineer installs a modem that will connect to it. He'll change the faceplate on your master socket - that's the one where the line comes into your property. then he runs some tests and drinks the cup of tea you made for him.
If you're not already using the hub - set it up before the visit (I think they'll send it to you a couple of days prior to the visit) . It comes with a handy pull out with the ID and password. And if you want, you can change these after you've got it working - you access it via your computer. If you change it then don't set it to anything that's easy to guess or identifies you or your address - good practice to keep it obscure and private!
so 'James1' = bad,
'T48FgC+C9#' = good (but make up your own obviously)
with regards wiring you just need to think about where you need the modem and router to be (both need power) and whether you are wireless or wired - that's kind of up to you and how you like things done. If it help : both my bits are by the front door of a semi detached - imac is upstairs and wireless and laptop is in sons room also wireless, PS3 in back room also wireless - no issues at all in connection nor speed. I do sometimes use powerlines for the PS3
I think the engineer will run an extention cable for you if needed but no drilling/fixing etc... I'm guessing a bit on that and maybe someone else can advise.

Do you need antivirus for Macs

Is anti virus software necessary for Macbook Pros?

Is anti virus software necessary for Macbook Pros?
Yes most certainly you need it, don't let anyone tell you differently. *wink*
Mac's can get viruses and transfer them to other Windows users through shared Windows files, but they don't affect a Mac as it's a different operating system. Don't share Windows files, then no problem, but you should have a free scanner on hand.
You can use the free ClamXav to scan those files and clean the Windows filth if you wish.
Always on anti-virus will slowdown your Mac and cause problems, so don't install it (or MacKeepe/911 bundle, it's bad!)
So far there isn't any Mac based viruses, but there ARE Mac based trojans, so be careful of installing anything from unreliable or questionable sources, something that "pops up" on your screen while surfing the web.
Turn off your Java (not Javascript) in your web browser preferences, unless you come across something that you need it (rare) then turn it on for that site use only. No need to have it on all the time, it's dangerous to leave on all the time as it's the most used attack vector.
If and when you install Flash, it's used a lot online, do so now and check occasionally it's up to date because it does have exploits from time to time and those are bad too.

You may want to install Perian too, it enables other codecs to play in Quicktime
http://perian.org/
Just maintain some common sense and check out the reliabliity of websites your installing software from, for instance if a adult content site says you need this or that installed to watch, use your head and exit the site/browser. Don't install software from P2P or torrent sites, your taking your chances.

Help with what? What's the actual problem?
As far the code looks horrible. This kind of logic belongs in a fitler rather than a backing bean. You use empty strings instead of nulls. You stores passwords plain and unhashed in DB. You compares the password in Java instead of in DB. You stores password in a cookie. Your query is unsafe for SQL injections. You're reloading the driver class everytime when you acquire the connection. You're leaking DB connections. The application will crash sooner or later when the DB run out of connections.
Is that all what you need to know?
