HP printers installed but multiple other HP printers are being discovered and try to be installed

Hi,
This has been driving my nuts for a while.
I run WIndows 7 on a laptop and I have a OfficeJet 7200 series printer at home and the relevant drivers installed, and at work we use a LaserJet 5550. However, when at work, every so often I will see Windows discover another HP printer on campus and try to install the driver for it. The installation usually fails, but I am left with many, many orphaned devices in "Device Manager"
How do I stop this?
Many thanks
Chris

swinster,
You must have your network discovery turned on and by default if it sees device it will try to install them. Here is a link to a document that tells you how to deal with this. I suggest that you disable this instead of enable and I think this will solve your problem.

Thank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..

I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS). Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one. But I want it to sync with my stuff. What can I do? I haven't been able to find help anywhere online... Thanks!

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

I use Yahoo Calendar on my IPhone. For whatever reason when I go into my calendar I will see at the top of the screen that 5 or 6 "calendars" are being used and one of them is the one I called Dana_Gardner and is legitimate, the others are randomly named

I use Yahoo Calendar on my IPhone. For whatever reason when I go into my calendar I will see at the top of the screen that 5 or 6 "calendars" are being used and one of them is the one I called Dana_Gardner and is legitimate, the others are randomly named with letters and numbers. Why is the IPhone creating additional "calendars"? I only asked for one to be set-up. I don't understand, I have to go into the calendar settings daily and uncheck these un-asked for calendars. Help!

Mine is doing the same thing. I deleted the whole account from the mail settings and it got rid of most of the extra calendars. But there are still 2 gibberish ones left.

Hello Joe,
I found a few resources you can use to troubleshoot the iMessage issues you are experiencing.
I recommend reviewing this article first:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
If your Apple ID is activated in the Messages Settings and you still cannot send and receive iMessages, I recommend following the steps in the section titled "If you still can't send or receive iMessages" in the following article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

On that last software update we (my family) have noticed on all our iPhone devices there is a huge gitch problem with our devices. My phone is an 4s but the other devices a brand new phones and they started since they updated the software they are having

A concern we've noticing since we have updated the lastest software... Our phone keep glitching and it's moving extremely slower than usual. I have the 4s and my kids have the newer phones 5c and the 5s. Is this a on going problem and if so when is it going to be fixed because this is terrible. Very disappointed customer. I was waiting on the newer iphone for myself but if apple can't get things straighten out with software I will have to consider your competitors. I have majority apple products and so far I am hating the issues I am having. Please fix soon. Thank you.

When recording my voice and other peoples sometimes are high pitch and sometimes low pi

It will also be somewhat choppy. I tried reinstalling drivers.
I can listen to music without any problem but voice communication seems messed up.

The new expensive earphones wont work. I have tested this with Bowers & Wilkins P5. They are the best and one of the most expensive headphones you can get in the market.
The sound was awesome on my iPhone 4 and iPad 2. However starting with iPhone 4S Apple has started to use low power Cirrus Logic Sound Chip. The chip compromises on the loudness without giving up the quality of the music. However I am used to listening at full volumes on my iPhone 4 and iPad 2. The music on the new iPad dusnt really make me happy

I changed my Apple ID online and in my iphone, but when I go to the app store and try to install apps it asks for the password to my old ID. How do I get this to stop?

Just like the description above. Changed my Apple ID online and in the phone, but when I go to the App Store it asks for the password to the old ID. Then when I put the password in it says that it's incorrect.

Go to settings>store and make sure the new apple ID is logged in at the bottom of the page.
If not, log out of the old one and sign in with the new one.

Edge Animate constantly lagging but the other Adobe applications are not

This is the same problem as in the post : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5740804#5740804
But the only difference is that one is resolved but mine cannot be with the solution described. The solution to the edge animate lagging, as in the above post, is within the proxy server settings. But after talking to my ISP. I found out that the internet service they are provinding doesn't work on proxy servers. They said if i put any proxy server value then the internet will stop working. So, i cannot apply the solution described in the above post. I have tried restoring the preferences to default. Nothing works. So, what do i do now?
I am using Windows 8 Pro (64 Bit).

I am having another problem. I think it may have some connections.

You will need to contact the previous owner of the iPhone in order to change the Apple ID.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Printers removed from workstation and readded by themselves- policy should not be running

We are currently ins a state of upgrading all our netwrae 6 servers to
netware 6.5 and our zen from 4.01 to zen 7.
While we have most of our netware serveres up to 6.5, the one that has
zen 4.01 is still a newtare 6 server.
Our printers are mostly HP4200's and we just migrated all of them to
the Novell Gateway from the "Unsupported HP Gateway" a few weeks ago.
WE have windows 2000 workstations.
We still use the NT computer printer policy since our server was
migrated from zen 3.2 to 4.01...
This is how we get our printers to the workstations
the printers are added to the NT computer printer policy so when the
user's machine starts up, it reads the policy and deploys the proper
printers. We then have apps that are set to force run the first time
the user gets the printers and those apps build the printer.
This has been working fine since 2003
What's happening and it did not start till about a week or two
ago.....
while a user's machine is up and running, they attempt to print
something and it comes out of the wrong printer or can't print at all
because the printer tray settings are gone...
what it appears is happening:
When you manually delete a printer that was deployed by zen and then
restart the machine or run the printer policy, it redeploys the
printers, but since the tray apps have already run, they don't deploy
again.... this creates an "unbuilt printer"
Since the printers are all unbuilt and the default printer may be the
wrong one, when the problem ocurrs, it appears as though all the
printers are being removed and then readded, changing the default
printer and also unbuilding them since they would have to be deleted
in order to be readded to appear unbuilt.
The policy doesn't appear to be running, so I don't know how this is
happening on a running workstation.
Is there a way to determine without watching a PC all day long to see
if the policy or something is running without cause to determine
whether it actually is Zen running a policy to redo the printer policy
when it's not supposed to....
I know this is confusing, but there really doesn't seem to be an easy
way to explain this...
I should also add, this problem seems to affect one Xerox DC3535 we
have that also uses the Novell gateway.
Did upgrading to Netware 6.5 also upgrade the Novell gateway and could
this cause this problem?
Any ideas what I can check?
Thanks
Tony
