Faxing from the desktop with a Photosmart C7280

I have several printers some of which allow me to fax directly from the desktop rather than having to scan it on the printer itself. When I install the C7280 it install the printer and it also created a second printer, "HP Photosmart C7200 series fax." I assumed that this worked like other printers and you just select it to print to when you want to send the document as a fax. No so.
As an example, I create a documetn in Word and then choose the HP Photosmart C7200 series fax to print and nothing happens.
Can this printer fax directly from the desktop?

Yes absolutely. I set it up last Fall and have been using it until last week, at whick time I lost wireless connectivity with router for no reason at all. I can not remember how to do it now and I am looking for the answer myself.

Multifunction Printer/Scanner/FAX machines and FAXing from the desktop.

I've got a Canon MP530 thanks to an Apple Bundle and after a lot of gyrations, it has come down to be that neither I, Canon, nor Apple can make this unit send or recieve FAXs from the desktop!
Apple seems to be "stunned" (better word than "clueless") about this lack of functionality. Canon's response is (literally) "Buy a PC."
I know I can do software that will let me FAX but but that is not an option at this point. I've got four machines who all can plug into the same printer/scanner/unit and there's no reason that this machine shouldn't be able to send a FAX for me.
So, I'm here posting this message wondering if anyone has purchased an "All-in-one" unit (preferably part of an Apple bundle) that supports printing from the computer, scanning to the computer, and FAXing to and from the computer and that they've actually used (themselves) and seen work.

Printing in black and white only from the internet with a photosmart 7510

Hi
I have and photosmart 7510 and i cant figure out how to change the setting so that when i print off the internet it is black and white only, that way I can save my color cartridges. In particular when i print coupons from the net, I only need them to be black and white.
Thanks for your help!

@432vero,
Go to your printer preferences on your computer.
1. Click Start menu
2. Choose Devices and Printers
3. Right click on the printer
4. Choose printer preferences
5. Choose ADVANCED
5. Choose "Print in all black text ENABLE" or "grey scale"

Opening pictures from the desktop with iphoto

Hey guys,
When I download pics onto my desktop (or anywhere else for that matter) (say a friend skype me some pics) and i want to open them with iphoto to store them in the relevant roll or album, i have to go through all the hassle of :
-ctrl click
-open with
-other
-look for iphoto in the list of programs
Is there any way I can put iphoto directly in the list of program i get by ctrl clicking on a picture file? The only think i can think of is "always use this program", but then again i don't always want to do that...
Thanks a lot! It would save so much time in the end...

You can also import a complete folder of jpegs by drag and drop.
Its slightly trickier but will work. Some practise may be needed.
Select the library and scroll down to the bottom of the album pane. Pick up the folder and move the mouse pointer to a spot to the right of the Trash and between the lowest album and the one above. When a black line apears around the entire album pane just relase the folder and it will be imported as a complete album bearing the folder name.

Photosmart 5580 will no longer print from my wifes laptop, only from the desktop computer

Hello,
We have an HP computer with a photosmart 5580. We also have a lynksis wireless network set up for the home for all of the kids laptops. My wife and kids used to have the capability to print documents from their laptops. I am not sure if it was going through the wireless network or the bluetooth technology on the laptops. Recently we have run into the problem that they are no longer able to print from their laptops and even from the desktop we have not been able to print. I have had to reinstall the printer onto the desktop 2 times to make the printer work. But then a week or 2 later the computer stops recognizing the printer and I will have to reinstall it. The desktop is only 2 years old but it is barely used since everyone has a laptop. Also a friend of ours says that by doing a disk defrag on the computer that it messes up anything that we have connected to the computer. I strongly disagree with that statement and like I told my wife, if that were the case then the printer would have stopped working last year, but she takes this friends advice seriously and told me to stop the defrags completely.
I am thinking that it may be something in the registry that is causing this problem. Am I headed in the right direction or does anyone else have a different idea to correct this problem?
Thanks

Well, I think the problem is that the printer is getting a different IP address from the router periodically and the printer software cannot keep track of the printer.
The best way to fix this is to reserve an IP address for the printer so that it has the same IP address all the time. Do you need help doing this?
Unless I am missing something, this system is not using Bluetooth, but the Linksys 802.11 wireless system and defragging your hard drive has nothing to do with it (and is generally a waste of time, anyway).

I made a bootable disc on an external hard drive, with Yosemite on it. I am running Snow Leopard on my iMac. How can I open the Yosemite disc from the desktop on my iMac? Does the external hard drive need to be connected to my iMac by firewire to do that?

Snow Leopard's Startup Disk pref can’t see Yosemite volumes. So the only way to switch from Snow Leopard to Yosemite is to do what Niel mentioned. Doesn't matter whether it's connected by USB or Firewire, although performance via FW would be faster.
Are you saying that Yos/10.10, as a volume located in a mounted external drive won't appear as an option in Snow Leopard's Startup Disc, in Sys Prefs? I've never heard this one before. AFAIK any mounted volume, regardless of OS, should appear there. I would think that, if it appears in the Boot Picker/Startup Manager it would also appear and could be booted to from Snow's Startup Disk. I can't test this myself, since I don't have Yos. Is what you are saying documented somewhere?

Don't know if that would be a failing hard drive, but it may be that you are out of available space. How much hard drive space do you have available? Please highlight the Macintosh HD icon and then press Command and I for a get info window. Once open, please copy and post the following:

Available:
Mac OS requires a minimum of 10 - 15% of total hard drive space available and empty at all times in order to operate properly.

Is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop. Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop. Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

I have an HP2840 running with Windows 7. Everytime I fax from the computer the print spooler STOPS.
I have to start, then stop, then start again everytime before any of my printers are available.
Is there a setting I need to change?

it sounds to me that the print spooler is crashing. Typically if the spooler crashes, when restarted it will try and process the job in the queue. If it crashes again, the job will be purged from the queue.

ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

I burned a DVD on my iMac [OS 10.9.5] and while it works fine on my machine my client [PC with Windows 7] cannot view it. It was burned from the desktop, not iPhoto. What gives??

I don't know why it won't read. It should as I burned it from the desktop. The file is just a bunch of jpegs. Any ideas?

It sounds unusual that you have been able to remove the Brother from Printers & Scanners on the iMac and add it back again, yet get a printer offline message.
Since you mention a router, is the Brother connected to it via a physical cable, such as USB? Or do you have a wireless router and the printer is connected to it via WiFi?
On the iMac, could you also open System Information (located in Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left column. If the Brother is the only printer on the iMac then its information will appear in the right pane. If you have more than one printer, then you will have a list of those printers in the top right pane. Select the Brother to see its information in the bottom right pane. Can you copy this information and paste back here. And since the MacBook Pro is printing okay, can you perform the same action on it so I can compare the setup for the same printer.

When going from the desktop to a website, I get the following message. "There was a problem sending the command to the program" Even though I get this message, I still connect to the website.

As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.

How do i unsynch my emails from hotmail on iphone 4 so that if i delete from my iphone, it won't delete from the desktop email?

I can't "unsynch" my hotmail emails from my iPhone 4.
I had this previously set up on my phone so that I only had my main inbox (no subfolders) and if I deleted an email then it only deleted it from my phone, not from the desktop email.
However, due to having to reset my whole hotmail account today, I had to delete my account from my Iphone and reactivate it, but when I did so it synched everything and now I have all my subfolders etc... and when I delete an email from my phone, it deletes the message from my whole account.
Does anyone know how to re-set this?

The only way to do that is to use a mail server with IMAP access, such as iCloud or Gmail. What you have is a POP account, which is the type provided by most ISP's.

How do I stop my MacBook removing all my icons from the desktop ?

How do I stop my MacBook removing all my icons from the desktop ?

Hi Matt
After I create say a word document, file it on my desktop and then shut down my machine. The next time I open up the MacBook the file icon has been removed from the desktop. I can still retrieve the file in a folder labeled with the month I created it. But why has the OS removed it from the desktop and how can I stop it happening?
It happens to alias icons as well!
Regards
