Help needed with windows 7 and old deskjet 870Cse not printing

System:
Windows 7 and Deskjet 870Cse.
Because my new laptop does not have the traditional old printer cable port, it only has USB ports, I purchased a USB Parallel printer cable. Hooked it up and system recognized it as a Unspecified Device (IEEE-1284 Controller). It does not recognize it as a printer.
Because it is not recognized I can not print anything.
Any ideas/help on how to get the drivers installed or to have it recognize the printer would be appreciated.
UPDATE:
I was able to get the driver and add a new printer and now can select to print to it. However, the head moves and everything but when the page come out there is nothing on the page.
Any ideas? I know there used to be a program to clean the heads but I don't have that now on this computer or don't know where to find it. Any thoughts?

Hi there mmcdermott,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here (to ensure there are no problems with the drivers etc installed):
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

I have been using iPod touch and iTunes with Windows XP - no problems. I now have a new computer with Windows 7 Home Premium. When I try to sync the iPod with Windows 7 and iTunes it will not transfer all my photographs. What can I do?

When I tried to sync my iPod Touch with my new computer none of the photographs were synced. I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. When I did it the first time the photographs were all muddled up in their albums. When I tried to sync again the photographs were all removed. On the third try I received an error message something like 'Unable to sync photographs program cannot be found.' Can anyone help. (It may be to do with Windows 7 and Libraries??)

Terry,
Plug your iPhone 5 into your Leopard Machine.
Fire up iPhoto.
The phone should become available in iPhoto, and then you can import the camera roll.

Help needed with Windows 8.1 boot and recovery issue

Hi. I hope someone can help me out with this Windows 8.1 issue. A friends computer (HP 2000-2c27CL Notebook) was badly infected and while I was able to do some cleaning in normal Windows I had to do some in Safe Mode. I was not being able to access Safe Mode so I went to Advanced Startup Options in Windows 8, Troubleshoot, then Advanced options, and finally the Command Prompt. Using the command prompt I typed "bcdedit /set {default} safeboot network" to have Safe Mode with Networking. Ever since I did that I haven't been able to get Windows to do a normal boot. I always get Safe Mode. I can't get back to Advanced Startup Options either. Via msconfig in Safe Mode I selected the Normal startup button on the General tab and selected apply and then ok. It then prompted me to restart the computer which I did. This did not fix the issue as I continue to get Safe Mode every time I start the computer. I also tried to do a complete system restore by typing "Recovery" in Windows 8 which brought up the HP Recovery Manager. Once in there I selected the Windows Recovery Environment and it prompted me to reboot the computer. I was expecting to get to an area where I could do a complete factory restore, but I again got booted into Safe Mode. What the heck is going on? The person who has this computer has no restore media... no USB or DVD discs made. There is however a recovery partition I believe, but as I said I can't do anything because I keep getting Safe Mode. Also I tried to use a antivirus emergency boot disk with this computer and I could not get it to boot from the DVDRom drive. I went into the BIOS and saw that Legacy is disabled and UEFI appears to be enabled by default. How am I to change the boot order to get it to boot from the disk and do scans for malware? I thought I did it correctly by moving the Rom drive to the top of the list, but that didn't work. I despise Windows 8x!!!
Help with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi HPenn, welcome to the HP Forums. Unfortunately if you are unable to perform a recovery using any of the available methods: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
You will have to order recovery media: Order software and driver media

I will be putting Linux on eventually but until then i have decided to have a go with Windows and have got ...... nowhere. I have done all the windows updates i then go to the windows 8 store and download the upgrade to windows 8.1 the update downloads, installs but during installation the computer reboots the installation continues (i presume thats what it s doing) the installation appears to finish and the computer reboots again and during checking devices it gets to about 25% and the screen appears to have powered off but it is still running then after 20 to 30 min it goes to sleep and pressing the power key wakes it up again at this point the only option is to press and hold the power key and the machine restarts and says the update has failed a reverts back to windows 8.
Things i have tried -
Restored to laptop to factory default
installed all windows updates
updated the grafix and network drivers to latest versions
windows 8.1 still fails to install.

Help needed with Boot times and performance.

Hi everyone, after two weeks of getting nowhere i gave up and here i am. I have an S10-3 which i am struggling with. As the post title indicates perfomance is (how can i put it) slow. We are talking 15/20 minutes to boot and when i finaly get to Windows its pretty much unusable. Ended up corrupting the recovery partition with my (lets say limited experiance) and have so far proceede to try and install Win XP/Vista/7 with all the same problems unable to install/slow/slow. I think what i am looking for is some pointers on wiping the HDD clean (completely) and some info on how to get a running install of pretty much any Windows that perfoms in a manner that allows me to acctually do something productive. On a plus point i did install an extra Gig of RAM allthough this made very little difference. Thanks in advance for any help offered as i am completley stummped.

If you intend to clean up completely you can use the secure data disposal tool from Lenovo

Help Needed with wlst distributeApplication and deploy weblogic 10x

Looking for help on missing steps...
Trying to distribute an application .war from one host (adminServer host) to all cluster members.
I first distribute the app which appears to work:
PackagePath = '/opt/wls/domain1/deploy/app1.war
clusterName= 'SomeCluster'
myapp = 'app1'
distributeApplication(PackagePath, targets=clusterName)
I then execute a deploy cmd, pointing to where the distributed application should be on each host:
deploy(myapp, PackagePath, targets=clusterName)
At this point everything completes without error, but on the admin Server console I see two deploys now for app1:
1. app1 is deployed and active
2. app1.war is deployed in Prepared state with the status as distribute Defferred.
Im guessing #2 is there from the distributeApplication call... how do I deploy the app after executing the distributeApplication call?
Thanks

Hi peterson,
You may want to post your question in the iPod forum

You are likely to get a lot more responses over there.
It sounds like your iPod may be having some difficulties that may require a reset to factory settings and/or reformat.

Help needed with ColorEyes Pro and 27" iMac display calibration

I am trying out a demo of ColorEyes Pro and using it with my Spyder2 puck, but there are a few things I just don't know and/or understand as they don't even ask them when using the Spyder software.
White Point Target - no idea what this should be
Gamma Target - 2.2 I am guessing, but not sure
Black Point Target - no idea on this either
Also, what should by "brightness" be set too? Or is that a personal thing?
Thanks in advance...

If it is new, why Oracle 8.0? It was never designed to work with any current operating system and I would be surprised if anything about it works.

Help needed with storing locH and locV locations in a List

Hello,
I am trying to store locH and locV locations in a list in the
form of (locV, locH) so that when i call upon this poistion later
it prints out as say (100, 200).
However lingo is not liking this very much.
Here is the i have so far
vhList = [] -- this runs on the startmove event and is a
movie script
-- the following is a script which is attatched to my sprite
v = sprite(me.spritenum).locV -20
h = sprite(me.spritenum).locH
vhList.append((v), (h))
I keep getting errors. I know i could use the Loc command and
store it into the list but i need the v and h variables to create a
loc style coordination as well as have them as their own entities
for locV and locH
If anyone knows how i could solve this it would be very
appreciated
Cheers
Lee

I assume you’ve already got vhlist defined as a global,
but if not here’s your startmovie script:
on startmovie
global vhList
vhList = []
end
then on your sprite you’ve got several choices:
on
someEvent me
global vhList
v = sprite(me.spritenum).locV -20
h = sprite(me.spritenum).locH
myCoord = [v,h]
vhList.append(myCoord)
end
this will build a list of the form
vhList=[[v1,h1],[v2,h2],[v3,h3]…]
or you can use this:
on
someEvent me
global vhList
v = sprite(me.spritenum).locV -20
h = sprite(me.spritenum).locH
vhList.append(point(h,v))
end
this will build a list of the form
vhList=[point(h1,v1),point(h2,v2),point(h3,v3),…]
note that the point data type is (horizontal, vertical) not
the other way around.

Help needed with wls 8 and clustering

Hi,
I need to synchronize the access to some entity beans in a cluster environment.
What is the most common pattern? Should my transaction hold a lock on the db during
while it's executing to ensure data integrity? Does weblogic offer any kind of
automatic status replication between entity ejbs in a cluster? I couldn't find
any useful info about that.
Thanks,
A.

Typically we'd recommend using the optimistic concurrency option.
