How can I use a scanner connected to my old PC?

Hi!
Aside from my iMac, I have a PC to which a printer is attached. I used system preferences to connect to that printer (it worked just fine), and now when I click "print" on the mac, the printer starst printing (as long as the PC is on).
Now, I would like to do the same thing with a scanner, also connected to the PC. How do I do it? (I confess I forgot exactly what I did to connect the printer, as this would probably help.... hehehe.. but I remember typing the name of the PC workgroup and it's IP address somewhere.)
The scanner is an HP 2400 and USB.
Thanks a lot for the help!

How do I do it?
You would have to contact the manufacturer of the scanner to see if their software allows for sharing the scanner, as Mac OS X has no built in support for that.

How can I use multiple network connections concurrently?

I'm using a Macbook, connected to a corporate network via Ethernet and to a private ADSL connection via Airport. What I want to be able to do is use the Airport connection for specific apps (Firefox, Safari, RDP etc) and the Ethernet connection for anything that needs to access any internal resources (Exchange etc).
From what I've tried, the OS presents the primary connection (set via the Service Order configuration) to the application and nothing else. For example when Firefox is set to not use a proxy I can't access anything, unless the Airport is given priority. But when the Airport is set as the higher priority adapter via the Service Order then I can't access any of the internal network.
Is there any way to work around this or am I stuck chopping and changing whenever I need to get out to the Internet directly?

The highest priority service is the Internet connection. Anything that would go to the internet uses that service. However, you still should be able to access the internal network via Ethernet.
For example when Firefox is set to not use a proxy I can't access anything, unless the Airport is given priority.
That make sense
But when the Airport is set as the higher priority adapter via the Service Order then I can't access any of the internal network.
You should be able to at least access file servers.

How can I use iTunes without connecting the external drive that has all my music on it?

I have all my music on an external drive. Sometimes I would like to access iTunes, for purchases and other, without having that drive plugged in. I used to be able to do this, but something has changed and I can no longer figure out how. There must be a way.
Thanks

Well, you can always ignore the fact it will automatically direct anything to a new blank library it will create on the internal drive. Just let it do it (as long as you keep track of any purchases that download, or maybe you can turn off automatic downloading ) The next time you need to use it with the external drive hold down the option/alt key while starting iTunes and select the library file on the external drive.

How can I use the Unity Connection 10.5 Greetings Administrator with e.164 CallHandler extensions

We recently upgraded to CUCM 10.5 and CUC 10.5 using an e.164 dial plan throughout. One snafu that has surfaced is how do people access a CallHandler via the Greetings Administrator TUI if the CallHandler extension begins with a '+' character? Pressing and holding * does not seem to work. Any ideas?

How can I use the terminal to upgrade my old macbook to linux

My old mb 1/1 white....is obsolete, but i'd like to use it in linux, because I can still upgrade it to the latest distro......

You cannot install Linux via Terminal. You'll have to get the distro on a CD or bootable USB drive and then erase the MacBook's hard drive, or partition it if you want to dual-boot, and install Linux that way.
For future questions, this forum is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, and doesn't get much traffic. Hence it's not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. If you have further qustions, I'd suggest you ask in the MacBook forum.
Regards.

How can I use JPEG-2000 images with my old Elements 2.0?

Is there a plug-in or other step that will allow me to work with JPEG-2000 images using my Elements 2.0 software?

I do apologize, as i should have asked what operating system you were using.
Anyway, It looks like that plugin is to new for pse 2 on the mac side.
I believe it only works in pse 6 and newer, though they used to have older versions, there doesn't seem to be any links to them.
You should remove that plugin and for future reference, plugins/filters should go in the Plug-Ins folder, not in the photoshop elements 2.0 application package.
Are you able to open the jpeg 2000 files in the Preview application?

The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
The times when the query is sent are:
• at Startup
• at wake from sleep
• when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
• when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

How can i use connection pool within the sqlj?

hello
i am a beginner to sqlj,i find all of the sample code from the oracle DON'T use connectionpool,they only write the database url to "connection.properties" file,but i think in the production environment we should use the connectionpool to optimise the querying,i usually use the weblogic connection pool.

How can I use my Ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections? The Apple store clerk told me that travel express won't work in my hotel unless I also have a computer.

The issue with the Airport Express (or any of the Apple routers) is that you need the Airport Utility to configure it. Airport Utility works on OSX and Windows, but not on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch.) It will work, if you can preconfigure the Airport correctly ahead of time, but you'd be stuck if you did need to reconfigure while at the hotel.
You can use most any other router that is configured with a web page, which means you have a chance of configuring with Safari on the iPad. If you want something somewhat portable, I use a "travel router" made by D-Link. The current model is the DAP-1350. Other companies make similar travel routers, but I have no experience with the others.
