How to add a new printer and laptop to my home network

Greetings, Need tech help. I have 2 issues going on.
First I am trying to add a 2nd Printer to my home network. I was given an HP 4050N printer. I want to add it to my home network. My main printer is an HP Photosmart 8450. It is attached to my desktop thro a Belkin USB 4 port switch and then to my Desktop PC via a USB port.  THe HP 4050N has both parrallel and serial connectors...no USB ports.  WHat is the recommended method to hook up. I also have an actiontec wireless router.  Initially I had 2 separate desktop units talking to my main printer, but noe the second desktop has it's own printer. 
Second, I recently acquired an HP Elite Book 2540P laptop. I got it to power make my SOlidworks and Autocad software portable.  I would like to add this to my home network but dont know if wireless of serial hookup is the best way to go.
I hope this makes sense.  I am open to reconfiguring everything if it makes sense.  My internet and TV are driven through the Action-tec router.
I would appreciate some guidance.

  • How to add a new custom paper size? I am using a HP Deskjet 1000 J 110a printer.

    How to add a new custom paper size? I am using a HP Deskjet 1000 J 110a printer. I am using Windows XP home edition. The Custom option itself is not appearing in the process of selecting paper sizes in Printing preferences. I have installed this printer just today, but I bought it eight months back in Dubai. Could there be chance that since I purchased it in Dubai and I am using it in India, the software's not functioning properly. 
    Can you please help me with this problem immediately? Reply soon...

    Hi RajeshPujara,
    Please refer the link below to know the paper size supported by this printer.

  • Standard TCP/IP Port missing from drop down "Create a new port and add a new printer"

    Somehow someone was on my print server and made some changes or added some software.  I found that the "HP Universal Print Monitor" was my only other choice besides Local Port when I went to add a new printer on my 2012 print server
    "Standard TCP/IP Port" was gone.  I ended removing this from the registry (see below) as I could not find any other way to uninstall it.  After this was removed I did reboot and I can still add a normal Standard TCP/IP Port under print
    management in the ports section but this option is gone in the drop down when you add a printer under printers. 
    Any idea how to get this option back into the drop down list?
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\Print\MONITORS\HP Universal Print Monitor

    I followed these instructions and everything is correct and still do not have the tcp/ip option
    Restore missing Standard TCP/IP Port type for Printer
    Filed under: 
    Tips n Tricks — Rahul Patel @ 5:01 pm
    If the TCP/IP port option is missing you need to re-add it.
    First, make sure that the following files are in C:\Windows\System32\:
    tcpmib.dll
    tcpmon.dll
    tcpmon.ini
    tcpmonui.dll
    If they are missing, you will need to copy them there from either the i386 directory (if you have one) or from the original install CD.
    Then, copy the following lines to NOTEPAD and save the file to your desktop as “printer.reg”
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
          [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\Standard TCP/IP Port]
          “Driver”=”tcpmon.dll”
          [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\Standard TCP/IP Port\Ports]
    “LprAckTimeout”=dword:000000b4
    “StatusUpdateInterval”=dword:0000000a
    “StatusUpdateEnabled”=dword:00000001
    Once it’s saved to your desktop, double-click printer.reg and say “OK” to the warning that you will be adding the keys to your registry.
    Reboot the Server and the TCP/IP port option should be back.

    If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How to add a new character set encoding?

    Hello,
    can anybody please explain to me, how to add a new character set encoding to Mac OS Tiger?
    I have two Mac laptops, a new one with Snow Leopard and an older one with Tiger, and on the old one i cannot use or enable anywhere the "Russian (DOS)" character set encoding, which i need to be able to use some old text files.
    On the Snow Leopard, this encoding is present in the list of available encodings of TextWrangler, but not in TIger.
    If i have understood correctly, this is not a problem of TextWrangler, and the same encodings are available systemwide.
    So, the question is: how to add new encodings to Tiger (or to Mac OS in general)?
    Thanks.

    I think possibly that's in the Get Info window of Finder?
    I don't think either that or the input menu have any effect on available encoding choices. Adding languages to system prefs/international/languages can do that, but once you have added Russian there, I don't know of any way to add an additional Russian encoding (there are quite a number of them).

  • Add a new printer to my MAC

    Hello Macs,
    I need to add a new printer so that I can use it on my MB. It is an HP 5250 all in one. It is hooked up to a PC running Windows XP. The printer is on my home network, and is setup to be shared.
    However, my MB does not "see" it in the printer preference plane. I'm thinking maybe I don't have the driver installed on my MB. The printer is at my Parents house, so I'd like to print stuff at their place. But we don't have any of the discs for setup.
    I have an HP 930 setup just fine at my house. I have no problems with it, and it too, is ran through a PC running Win XP.
    So why can't I use the printer at Mom's house????
    How do I add their HP 5250 to my printer list????
    Thanks everyone in advance, for your help, CHRIS

  • How to create a new variant and a job sheduled to use it for the ......

    How to create a new variant and a job sheduled to use it for the exisisting programs

    Hi
    1. The ALV Grid Control is a tool with which you can output non-hierarchical lists in a
    standardized format. The list data is displayed as a table on the screen.
    The ALV Grid Control offers a range of interactive standard list functions that users need
    frequently (find, sort, filter, calculate totals and subtotals, print, print preview, send list,
    export list (in different formats), and so on. These functions are implemented in the
    proxy object class. You as the programmer have the possibility to turn off functions not
    needed. In most cases the implementations of the standard functions provided by the
    control are sufficient. However, if required, you can adjust these implementations to
    meet application-specific needs.
    You can add self-defined functions to the toolbar, if necessary.
    The ALV Grid Control allows users to adjust the layout of lists to meet their individual
    requirements (for example, they can swap columns, hide columns, set filters for the
    data to be displayed, calculate totals, and so on). The settings (list customizing) made
    by a specific user are called a display variant. Display variants can be saved on a userspecific
    or on a global basis. If such display variants exist for a list, they can be offered
    to the user for selection. If a display variant is set as the default variant, the associated
    list is always displayed based on the settings of this variant.
    2. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
    REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
    REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
    REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
    3. Use of Field Catalog is to determines the technical properties & add formating information of the column.
    6. all the definition of internal table, structure, constants are declared in a type-pool called SLIS.
    7.fieldcat-fieldname
    fieldcat-ref_fieldname
    fieldcat-tabname
    fieldcat-seltext_m
    5. Form user_command using r_ucomm like sy-ucomm rs_selfield type slis_selfield.
    Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
    In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
    The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
    <b>The commonly used ALV functions used for this purpose are;</b>
    1. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET
    2. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4
    3. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE
    4. REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET
    5. REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
    6. REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
    7. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
    8. REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
    9. REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT
    Purpose of the above Functions are differ not all the functions are required in all the ALV Report.
    But either no.7 or No.8 is there in the Program.
    <b>
    How you call this function in your report?</b>
    After completion of all the data fetching from the database and append this data into an Internal Table. say I_ITAB.
    Then use follwing function module.
    CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
    I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = 'Prog.name'
    I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'I_ITAB'
    I_DEFAULT = 'X'
    I_SAVE = 'A'
    TABLES
    T_OUTTAB = I_ITAB.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    WRITE: 'SY-SUBRC: ', SY-SUBRC .
    ENDIF.
    ENDFORM. " GET_FINAL_DATA
    The object F_IT_ALV has a field, the activity ACTVT, which can
    contain four permitted values: 01, 02, 03 and 70. Each of the
    activities 01, 02 and 70 controls the availability of particular
    functions (in the menu and the toolbar) of the ALV line item list:
    a) 01: "Settings -> Display variant -> Save..."
    b) 02: "Settings -> Display variant -> Current..." and
    "Settings -> Display variant -> Current header rows "
    c) 70: "Settings -> Display variant -> Administration..."
    Activity 03 corresponds to the minimum authorization, which is the
    most restricted one: The user can only select layouts which have
    been configured already. In particular, all of the other functions
    named above are inactive with activity 03.
    Now if you want to permit a user to change the column selection and
    the headers as well as to save the layout thus created, for example,
    but if you do not want to permit the user to administrate the
    layouts, you grant him or her the authorization for activities 01
    and 02.
