Help! Trying to make a HP LaserJet 6L work

Since my printer only has a parallel port, I tried couple of USB-to-parallel adapters - no luck, not even in bootcamp Windows. What am I missing? A driver? Or does anyone know of a particular adapter that will work with my printer?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks folks!
Bruce, you made my day, the USBTB did the trick!
Here is the adapter that worked:

Help trying to make DVD Mac book struggeling

Hello
I am trying to make a DVD the Application is chugging and slow. I recently upgraded my RAM
My mac is struggeling here, Can anyone suggest something
thanks very much
Troy

The only thing I can think of is I have a number of items on my desk
top. but that is just a guess
Probably a good one:
Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.
And it is why Apple invented 'Stacks' for Leopard.
Here is Apple's take on the subject:

Trying to make Reporting Services Configuration Manager work. Or, SQL Server Reporting Services.

Under Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008, I have the following:
SQL Server Management Studio
Configuration Tools
Integration Services
Import and Export Data
Under Configuration Tools, I have the following:
SQL Server Installation Center
SQL Server Configuration Manager
SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting
Reporting Services Configuration Manager
I tried to enable Reporting Services through 'Reporting Services Configuration Manager' but I don't seem to have much control from this view. I see two boxes, one named Server Name (and it shows my server name) and the other is named Report Servicer Instance (and this is grayed out). If I click on the Find box next to Server Name, I get this message:
Report Server WMI Provider Error: Invalid Namespace
Details
Invalid Namespace
To get the Server Name I right-clicked SQL Server > Properties > General
Any ideas on how to make Reporting Services Configuration Manager work? Or, can you please give me more details on how to access "System control" => "Services"? I'm not seeing it anywhere and I'm not seeing any way to find "Sql Server Reporting Services". Basically, I'm trying to activate my SQL Server Reporting Services.
I am using SQL Server 2008 Express Management Studio. Is SQL Server Reporting Services included in Express Management Studio? I read, online, that it is, but I can't find it anywhere.
Thanks again!

Thanks Jerry Nee!! This may be exactly what I’m looking for! I went to this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=B5D1B8C3-FDA5-4508-B0D0-1311D670E336&displaylang=en#filelist
At the top of the page it says, ‘Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Express with Advanced Services’, which seems like this is what I’m looking for, so I downloaded the file named ‘SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe’
Then, I cut that from my desktop and pasted it in my C-drive and I get a message that says, ‘this folder already contains a file named ‘SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe’, would you like to replace the existing file?’
I’m thinking…what the heck? Do I already have this thing? If so, why can’t I see SQL Server Reporting Services? Maybe I have it now, and I just don’t know how to access the reporting Services features…
Couple quick questions:
What’s the difference b/w these two files:
‘SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe’ and ‘SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe’?
Also, my current version of SSMS, Help > About shows this:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
10.0.1600.22 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)
2000.085.1132.00 (xpsp.080413-0852)
Microsoft MSXML
2.6 3.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer
8.0.6001.18702
Microsoft .NET Framework
2.0.50727.3603
Operating System
5.1.2600
Should Server Reporting Services be included in this version? I think so!!!
Under Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 > Configuration Tools > Reporting Services Configuration Manager, I see this:
Connect to a report server instance:
Server Name:
Report Server Instance:
My server name is ‘'EXCEL-4J2W8KYNP', which I got from Control Panel > System Properties > Computer Name > Full Computer Name;
However, when I put that server name in the box, and hit ‘Find’ I get this message: ‘Report Server WMI Provider error’ Invalid namespace
Details: Invalid Namespace.
I have no idea what this means…
Thanks for everything!

Trying to make a graph that actually works

I’m trying to make a graph for my boss that displays
the number of tickets each staff member have completed.
I found this tutorial:
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Dynamic_Content/Creating-Zoubin_Z-61/index.php
However when I finished it, I wanted to create a dynamic text
box that would display the value for each graph when it said that
the code used was written in Flash 4, so it can’t do that. :(
So I started rebuilding the tutorial in flash 9 but then
realized that the old code wouldn’t work with the new
version!! ARGH!!
So basically I’m a bit stuck.
I’m a beginner to intermediate flash user. But
don’t have much knowledge of the coding side of things.
The main part I need converted is this:
quote:
Set Variable: "a"=1
Loop While (A<29)
Set Variable: "bar"&a = Random (100)
Set Variable: "a" = a+1
End Loop
Set Variable: "a"=1
Loop While (a<29)
Begin Tell Target ("var"&a)
Goto and Stop (Eval("_level0/:bar"&../:a))
End Tell Target
Set Variable: "a" = a+1
End Loop
Which was written for version 4, but needs to work with the
latest which is 9 (?).
All I know so far is that, the Set Variable, has been
replaced with LoadVariable for the new version. Is that right?
I’ve been stressing over this for hours last night and
this morning, trying all different methods from forums and tutorial
sites, but nothing is working. So as a last resort I’m
reaching out for help from the experts.
Thanks in advance!!

I've been messing with your graph all day and I'm having a
lot of fun just playing with the code
It's nice to see some code made especially for this purpose.
Really clears things up.
So thanks again clbeech!
If you don't mind, I've got 3 more questions, if you've got
the spare time to look:
Screenshot
of what I've done so far
Here is the
modified action script:
quote:
stop();
var chartScale = 300; //max scale number
var xml = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite=true;
xml.onLoad = function() {
date_txt.text = updated;
var xpos =graph._width /
(this.firstChild.childNodes.length+1);
for(var i=0; i<this.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
graph.attachMovie('bar','bar'+i, i, {_y:xpos*(i+0),
_x:100});
graph['bar'+i].name_txt.text = this.firstChild.childNodes
.attributes.staff;
graph['bar'+i].num_txt.text =
this.firstChild.childNodes.attributes.tickets;
graph['bar'+i].imp_txt.text = this.firstChild.childNodes
.attributes.improvement;
var pct =
Number(this.firstChild.childNodes.attributes.tickets) /
chartScale * 200;
graph['bar'+i].bar_bg._yscale = pct;
xml.load('graphData.xml');
And this is the
modified XML data:
quote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<graphdata>
<data staff="david" tickets="300" improvement="12"/>
<data staff="trent" tickets="267" improvement="9"/>
<data staff="andrew" tickets="250" improvement="14"/>
<data staff="nathan" tickets="2" improvement="22"/>
<data staff="matt" tickets="274" improvement="2"/>
</graphdata>
<data date="9th June 2008"/>
1.
In the top right hand corner of the screenshot, you'll see
there is a "Last Updated" static text box followed by a dynamic
text box called "date_txt". But I wasn't sure where to put the
code, in the XML file! If I put it between the <graphdata>
tags then it creates a new graph bar called "UNDEFINED" lol
Do I create a new tag called 'datedata' or something and put
it in there? I tried various methods but none of which worked. Any
idea how to make that work?
I googled and found this page:
Webby
But it seems to write the code in a completely different way to
you. Also their method doesn't work.
2.
Is it at all possible to make the graphs sort themselves and
arrange from highest to lowest according to the ticket value?
3.
How difficult would it be to animate the graphs?? So that
when you open the flash file, the bars go zooming across and stop
at the right value?
I'd imagine it'd be a fair amount of work. But I thought I'd
ask anyway.
Thanks showing me the ways guys!
I'm learning a lot.

Need help- trying to figure out if Spotify would work for my senior living community

We are a senior community that has activity programs running in like 7-10 areas in the building. Music is a big part of our day. CD's for all these areas is getting crazy. There has got to be a better way. We want to be able to pick music genre, a song even to hear and have playlists. What we have currently: We have some laptops and desktop computer using windows. We also have a few MP3 players, boomboxes and IPODS. We also have Wifi. But sometimes of course we have Wifi issues. We have access to usually a laptop or boombox. We could use the MP3 players/ipods. I like the idea of playlists that we share, pulling music that is alike. These are my quesitons or issues below: Things are my questions:1. Can we have 1 account be made for different appliances and be on spotify at the same time? Premium said 3 but you can't be both logged in under each account. Is this still true? Postings were old. 2. With even the Spotify family can you be on to the account at the same time? 3. What would be our best solution for this for accounts- would we have to set up different account for each device if we want to play at the same time? Any ideas - I just really need suggestions4. If we did our laptops, we would need speakers? Also for boomboxes- is this possible? I am assuming using like an MP3 player or IPOD. Spotify work through them? Is it certain type of MP3 players and IPODS. I believe a few of ours are older ones. 5. If we have tons of accounts, can I start all accounts on same computer? Would I set them up by each device we have?6. Can you run ipod/mp3 through large TV speakers? or laptop music through big screen tv speakers?7. For the music itself, can you pick what exact songs in playlist? Can you make lots of playlist per account? I saw 3,300 songs but can you name the playlist and stay forever? Sorry for all the questions. I am trying to figure out if this is even possible or worth doing. If we have seperate accounts - how much monthly is that? Is there a deal for that many devices? Thanks

Spotify has 2 different account types. You can see the difference between the two at the bottom of the homepage: http://spotify.com
1: Each Spotify account can only play on one device at a time. You can have the account logged into as many devices as you want, but you can only play on one device at a time.
2: With Spotify family, there are several Spotify accounts under one plan. Each account is able to play on one device at a time.
Check out the family help guide here:
https://support.spotify.com/learn-more/guides/#!/article/spotify-family
Also check out this thread for information:
https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Accounts-and-Subscriptions/Spotify-Family-Q-amp-A/td-p/988520
3: Yes, as stated above
4: You wouldn't necessarily have to have speakers hooked up to the laptop. If the laptop has speakers or you input headphones, that should work. Spotify doesn't work with MP3 players/iPods. To use Spotify you have to have the Spotify app.
You can find a list of compatible devices here:
https://support.spotify.com/learn-more/guides/#!/article/spotify-system-requirements
7: Yes you can search Spotify and add any song you want to a playlist. And you can also make lots of playlists. Each playlist has a limit of 10,000 songs. The 3,333 limit you saw is for the offline limit on premium accounts. Up to 3,333 songs can be downloaded for offline listening.
Hopefully this information helps. The family plan can have up to 5 accounts. It might end up being too expensive for what you need. The free plan has ads, but it still might be worth looking into.

Help -- Trying to create JAR file but not working

Hi everyone
I have created a rather noddy Java program that consists of 4 JComboBox's and 1 JButton on a JFrame.
When the button is clicked a text file is generate with the options that have been selected.
There are severial files that the program uses for this:
gcc.java
OutToFile.java
gccConfirm.java
MyNewWindow.java
main.java
I am using Jcreator and so must use the command line to create the Jar file.
I have never done a jar file before so I did an example with a hello world program and got it working now problem. I did the same for this program and the JAR file is generated without error. I double click on the JAR file to run the application, but nothing happens. I can see the application running in memory but nothing loads on the screen. However if I run it from the command line using Java -jar gcc.jar then everything is ok.
can anyone help me here?
thanks in advance

If you run you .jar from the command line (a shell in unix speak) there
already is a console where your java program can send it's System.out
stuff. Right click on your .jar and select 'properties' (or similar). Note
that your .jar is run by 'javaw'. This executable is similar to the 'java'
executable except that it doesn't open a console for you. Change the
'javaw' command to 'java' and voila, there's your console again.
kind regards,
Jos

While editing photos in Aperture, I trying to make an "auto" adjustment to the exposure,
but the "auto" button is grayed out and will not allow any auto function to take place.
Please help!
Thank you,

Mike, are you working with raw images?
For some raw images auto exposure is not available, have a look at this manual page:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=18%26se ction=9%26tasks=true
Note: Automatic exposure adjustment is available for Aperture-supported RAW images only. If you want to adjust the exposure of another file type, such as JPEG or TIFF, see Working with the Exposure Controls. For a list of supported RAW file types, go to the Apple website at http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs.

Help : Lost in Code - Trying to make a simple Click-Through

Hey Everyone -
I've come in search of some help and expertise. I've found a
website which I would like to copy in functionality - in hopes of
creating a simple slideshow of images. They are using the MOOTOOLS
framework for the Slide animation - i've gotten that to work
- but i can't figure out how to replicate the clickthrough-
SO - what i'm trying to do is copy this page exactly -
http://www.thegraphicgraphic.com/
you'll see that it's just three lines of text ( rollovers )
and the last line opens up a javascript slider window - now i've
managed to copy most of it by taking the code and figuring out the
urls for the javascript and such .
check out my version here :
http://www.nontype.com/beograd.html
i've got the css and java stuff working okay - but what i
can't seem to figure out at all is how they are getting the
rollover links to link to the NEXT IMAGE - they're using some tags
that i don't understand : it looks something like this : : :
<div id="header">
<ul>
<li>
<a href=""
onmouseover="this.innerHTML = 'NEXT'"
onmouseout="this.innerHTML = 'THE'">
THE</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href=""
onmouseover="this.innerHTML = 'PREVIOUS'"
onmouseout="this.innerHTML = 'GRAPHIC'">
GRAPHIC</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#" id="button" onmouseover="this.innerHTML =
'INFORMATION'"
onmouseout="this.innerHTML = 'GRAPHIC'">
GRAPHIC</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
AND The JAVASCRIPT Used for both the sliders ( and I assume
the click-through functionality ) is :
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
var Slider = new Fx.Slide('about',{mode: 'horizontal',
duration: 100}).hide();
$('button').addEvent('click', function() {
Slider.toggle('horizontal');
function noSpam(user,domain) {
locationstring = "mailto:" + user + "@" + domain;
window.location = locationstring;
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
I just want to click NEXT to progress to the next background
image / and PREVIOUS for the prev. image . . . . . . . . Could
anyone here tell me how to do this as in the first site ? ? ? Would
I be able to simply create multiple HTML Pages - use an Embed tag -
and then link the PREV and NEXT buttons with tags ?
I'm just trying to make this work by any means but am finding
the code impossible to crack -
I tried asking this question in the mootools forum but was
told to look elsewhere - I'm more than willing to use
any other means in order to make this work .
MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOU HELP . . .

Trying to make a photo contest need some help

Trying to make a photo contest need some help. I am running a
fish photo contest on my website and was wondering if any of you
could give me some advice on some good extensions to help me do
this easier. Basically I want a page where people upload a file and
then it automatically resizes the image and puts it on a page,
where people can vote on the pictures.

Hi Pilot,
Column B contains the sale amounts.
Column C will contain the tax amounts.
I'm assuming a header row, and the first line of data to be row 2.
In C2, enter: =B*20%
Click Accept, then use the mouse to drag the small round handle at the lower right of the selected cell (C2) to fill the formula into the rest of the cells in column C.
This simple version of the formula will put zeros in all column C cells where no amount has been entered in the corresponding cell in column B. The revised formula below takes care of that.
C2: =IF(B,B*20%,"")
I'd strongly suggest that 'rookies', as you describe yourself, download and read both the Numbers User Guide and the Functions and Formulas User Guide. Both are available from the Help menu in Numbers. If you use Pages and Keynote, you should use the Help menu in those applications to download their User Guides as well. The guides are searchable pdf files, well written, easy to read, and useful to rookies and old hands as well.
Regards,
Barry
