Help needed in laymans language to install and setup OfficeJet 8600

Please bear with me.  I am a technologically challanged grandma.  I am also a loyal HP user.  I was recently forced to retire my 8 year old HP 1610 all in one and replaced it, at the suggestion of several saled people, with a new HP Officejet Pro 8600 all in one.
I want to be able to print to the 8600 from my 8 year old Compaq SR 1550NX Presario desktop computer (running Windows XP Home edition ver. 2000 with service pack 3, with Athlon 3500 + processor, 2.4 GHz, 200 GB hard drive) AND from my 3+year old HP G60-243CL Laptop (running Windows Vista (AMD Turion X2 processor, 2.10 GHz, 32 bit opr. sys. Wi-Fi certified).
I have these 2 computer set up on a LAN here in my home connected by a Belkin N+ Router (Ver. 2110) .  My Internet service is provided by Charter Cable (NOT DSL).  I am read a lot of the directions and help instructions and am still in over my head.  Could someone please give me a step by set method of how I can install and set up this new 8600 so I can print from both computers.  The old desktop one has never been wirelessly connected.  Can I do it through the Router and if so, how?  Thank you very much for helping.

Hello, I will gladly assist you with these steps. Have you already set the printer up physically? Are the ink cartridges set in and the printer is ready, just waiting to be downloaded to the computer? If you still have the CD that came with the 8600 printer, all you have to do is place the CD in and click SETUP. This will guide you step by step to install. 
Now the tricky part is how you want the 2 PC's connected. You can go USB (hardwire from printer to computer), Wireless (set the printer up on network and PC on network with NO cords attached, or you can go Ethernet (a cord going from the printer to the router).
Let me know how you are able to connect, and I can guide you through those steps.

  • I downloaded Acrobat XI Pro onto my work computer on Friday. It downloaded in French though I indicated I needed English. I de-installed and re-installed several times but always French. How do I change that option?

    Hello,
    you could adapt the answer from there Re: Change language in Acrobat XI Pro - It does not work
    ... and if your Acrobat XI Pro is a part of CC you could work according to this scheme Adjust the install language | CCM >>> I quote: The language for the Creative Cloud applications is different from what you expect.

  • Help with Adobe Photoshop 5.0 install and upgrade to 7.0

    hello
    I have a photoshop 5.0 (purchased to work with win xp) which i have not installed and used for a long time
    I also have a Photoshop 7.0 win upgrade
    My question is this:
    I want to install my adobe photoshop 5.0 on a windows 7 machine,
    i want to than upgrade to photo shop 7.0
    for photoshop 5.0,
    the cd runs and i get the SETUP MENU, WHERE I AM OFFERED OPTIONS TO INSTALL ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 5.0 AND ADOBE ACROBAT READER V3.01 ETC....
    when i click on the install adobe photoshop 5.0 icon, it doesn't seem to do anything/
    i have also tried to see if anything is happening in task manager - task says running - but nothing seems to be happening
    any ideas why?
    Thank you for your help.

    Are you trying to install 5.0 just so you can install the upgrade to 7.0?
    If that's the case, you need not install 5.0.  Just install 7.0 and when it asks you about what you're upgrading from, insert the disc for 5.0 per its instructions.
    And, you're kind of living in the past...   Even Photoshop 7.0 has very limited capabilities compared to what's shipping today (which is 5 full version releases newer).
    It might be about time to buy a modern version of Photoshop.

  • URGENT HELP NEEDED ... Tomcat Realm and JRE1.4 plug-in problem

    I have tried the Security Realm of Tomcat. Since I do not have
    an LDAP server, I decided to use the Tomcat-users.xml file in
    Tomcat\conf directory.
    I added the following lines of code in the web.xml file.
    <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>Entire Application</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
    <!-- NOTE: This role is not present in the default users file -->
    <role-name>webviewer</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
    </security-constraint>
    <login-config>
    <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
    <realm-name>Tomcat Manager Application</realm-name>
    </login-config>
    The <role-name> "webviewer" is added into "Tomcat-Users.xml" as the following:
    <tomcat-users>
    <user name="test" password="password" roles="webviewer" />
    </tomcat-users>
    So, now when we type the url: http://localhost:8080/adbpdbre/default.htm, TOMCAT shows a dialog box asking for UserName: and Password:Now, only when we give the username and password, it shows the page. This is exactly what we want.
    But the problem now is, this default.htm page, has 5 links to 5 applets. The first time that I click on one of these links, the JRE plug of 1.4 shows a dialog again asking for the username and password. Till I dont provide the username and password the system doesnt go ahead and applet doesnt load. I do not want the JRE to ask me for the username/passwords again..How to avoid this ?
    Can you give me some more information on this. Ultimately in the production usage, we will be using LDAP and not Tomcat's memory realm.
    URGENT HELP NEEDED ... I need to get back to my client on this.
    Help would be v. much appreciated.

    In the config file, you 're essentially saying that you want Tomcat to prompt for usr/passw on every request (url-pattern = /*) made by a 'webviewer', and that's exactly what Tomcat is doing.
    Consider using specific url-patterns & roles for resources to be protected. If for now, all you need is to protect the first page, use a more specific url-pattern.
    Just an advice : if you'll be using LDAP in production, do not waste time with Tomcat's Security Realm and the BASIC authentication type, since the two have not much in common. Start reading doc on LDAP, and code a prototype, or even better, a vertical slice of the app (i.e a proof of concept).

  • I need information on how to install and execute the export/import utility

    Hi there,
    I am migrating an application from Weblogic 10 to Weblogic 10.3. I need to import a desktop from a .portal file in Weblogic 10.3. I know how to do the process of installing and executing this tool in WebLogic 10, but I don't know how to do it on the 10.3 version, because it's different and I haven't found any information about this process on the internet.
    Could you please tell me what do I have to do? or give me a document that can I follow the steps from?
    Thanks & Regards

  • Do i need a network card to install and run a local java web server

    Friends,
    Do i need a network card in my computer to install and run a local Java Web Server or any Web Server.

    network cards are only for connecting equipment together... you can set up a webserver without any more equipment than you have already! Indeed Tomcat... BUT you would be better off with apache for production stuff. It depends what you need to serve... if its mainly static pages (i guess it probably isn't) then apache will be enough by itself; but if you need to serve dynamic pages (JSP, Servlet blah blah) then you will need tomcat. Tomcat has it's own webserver and its perfectly ok for testing or low-load stuff, but you can integrate with Apache (a moderately compex task, but do-able, see tomcat-user forum off of apache site) for greater stability, and you don't have to show the port in the URL... Don't set up a webserver on any pc that contains stuff you don't want hacked into... it becomes very succeptible when the service is up...

  • Help needed to compare two Key Figures and show out put

    hello experts,
                       I am comparing the Sales data for two year/month. I need to compare these two KF and show the result only if one is greater than the other by 40%. Sample
    Jan/2008                             Jan /2007
    400                                      600
    500                                      300
    300                                      700
    600                                      400 
    The columns should be outputted only if Jan 2008 is greater than Jan 2007 by 40% for all customers in a business area. Thank you all in advance.
    Regards,
    -Akash

    Hi Akash,
    Your requirement could be met by
    Creating a Calculated Key Figure say variance = ( ( Jan2008 - Jan2007 ) / Jan 2008 ) *100
    Then create a new Condition on  Variance so as to display rows only when Variance > 40
    Hope this solves ur issue.Do revert

  • How to install and setup macports for mac os mavericks, for open vpn purpose.

    Hi Guys! I'm using OS Mavericks now in my macbook pro, I need help and suggestions regarding open vpn application that i can use for my laptop so that i can access my server in my office even im out of town and country. I found vpn network setup in network preference but i dont know how to setup. also others are suggesting macports for mac but still difficult to analyze and setup. I need to troubleshoot in terminal which i'm not familiar with commands. Please help me guys! Please!

    You're going to need to figure out the required settings for the VPN server you're working with, whether you use the standard client or some add-on.  That information is a prerequisite for a VPN client; for any VPN client. 
    If the standard VPN client present in OS X doesn't and cannot be gotten to work, then something like IPSecuritas or the OpenVPN client would be a typical fallback choice, but IPSecuritas is far more flexible — which means far more complex.  These clients are available as application downloads; no Brew or MacPorts required.
    Is this your server you're connecting into?  Or is somebody else controlling it? 
    If it's your server and thus your VPN server, then you'll have the option to get either the VPN server in the gateway firewall box or the VPN server running in the target system configured to allow the OS X VPN client to work.
    If the server is controlled by somebody else, ask them for the settings necessary for the VPN client.
    As Barney-15E states, using Brew or MacPorts won't help, unless you're installing the VPN client that way — which would be a little unusual — and you're still going to have to figure out the L2TP / IPSec or PPTP or other settings here, irrespective of how the VPN client gets installed.

  • Arch linux install and setup questions

    Personally it seems a bit to cumbersome to have to setup xorg etc and is proving to be difficult in getting it to work right. Do they have any arch forks that just auto detect the xorg settings like some of the other distros?
    I can't see myself having to setup several of these boxes and doing these install steps one at a time for each one.
    It would seem arch could just run a script once installed that would auto sync, download xorg, and setup xorg at the same time.
    it would be no different that following each step in the wiki by hand, just via script

    itsmeh wrote:Yup it was just an idea , sure people can still do it manual but maybe have something built in to at least take care of the first few steps that most users are going to use
    That's the whole point with arch. It's all up to you. Arch doesn't suggest anything for you (exept what you need to get a working linux enviroment).
    This is the reason i installed arch. I wanted control over my inviromet and learn more about what's under the hood.

  • HELP NEEDED! Blue Screen of Death and Gray Screen

    I really need a help from a OS X Mountain Lion. I have been trying to fix my Macbook Pro 15' early 2011 for about a week without succeed.
    PROBLEM:
    My MBP isn't sarting up. Everything looks normal the chime, Apple logo, the wheel and after those things it get stucked on a gray screen.
    The computer doesn't boot from USB, DVD and the cm-R restoration isn't working.
    THINGS I'VE DONE:
    1. I took to an Apple authorized service in Curitiba, Brazil. They reinstalled Mountain Lion (R$90,00 or about U$45,00). After couple hours of usage. Same problem started to occur again. I call them again saying that the same problem persist and they said for reinstallation, there isn't a warranty. I have to pay again for the service.
    2. Reinstall OS X. I made a partion a thumb drive and reinstalled everything. After few hours same problem again. The system wasn't starting.
    3. I bought a new HD. I replaced the original HDD for a SSD OCZ Vertex 3. I installed the OSX in this brand new SSD. The computer worked for 1 hour and boom, same problem of booting and starting.
    4. I have tried NVRAM and PRAM (cmd+option+P+R), nothing happened. Gray screen after the Apple logo.
    5. Verbose-mode (cmd+V).
    6. Single-user Mode (cmd+S).
    7. Start in Safe Mode. (Shift). The bar doesn't load until the end and I get a gray screen.
    8. Restoring from internet. (cmd+R). Sometimes, I get the Blue Screen or the screen turn black, but I can still hear the fan spinning.
    SOME PHOTOS OF THE PROCESSES:
    SOLUTION, PLEASE?
    I appreciate any helpful comment. Thanks.
    -- Eduardo

    Download at www.memtestosx.org
    Power on your MBP while holding down the Command and S keys to force Mac OS X to boot into Single User Mode. Once you see a black screen with white text, you can release the key combination. After all the system logging is done scrolling past, type 'memtest all 2' (without the quotes) to test all memory two times. Two passes should be enough to detect any blatant problems, but I wouldn’t hesitate to let it run for hours on end if I suspected an intermittent memory problem (memtest all). When complete, you should be greeted with “All tests passed” if your RAM is in good condition. If your system locks up or freezes indefinitely during the test, you may have a bad memory module on your hands.

  • Help Needed-iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    Hey guys,
    I have had this extremely frustrating problem that just recently started occurring with iTunes. I have read many discussion forums but can’t seem to find a working solution. The problem is every time I try to open iTunes I get an error message that says “iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.” The same thing happens when I try to open Quicktime as well.
    I have tried every solution suggested in these forums. I have completely uninstalled Quicktime and iTunes along with their components (Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, etc.) and then reinstalled each of them but the problem still remains. I do NOT use iTunes for my iPod (I do not own one) I simply use iTunes to listen to my music.
    I have also tried the methods of installing Quicktime by itself and not with iTunes but the problem still remains. I have tried every solution I have seen. The only method I have not tried is completely removing all files and folders that have to do with iTunes because I am worried if I delete those files with all the music I have bought it will have to be downloaded again or lost.
    This is the “Error Signature” that is on the error report when I try to open iTunes.
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 9.0.2.25 ModName: ntdll. dll
    ModVer: 5.1.2600.5755 Offset: 0001b21a
    There was A LOT more information in the “Error Report Contents” but it would have taken me all night to type it all accurately. If that is what is needed then I am willing to provide any other information about this problem in hope of getting some useful suggestions or solutions. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

    that's been happening to me all day! i hope someone answers soon. bought my daughter an itunes card for christmas and now can't use it
