Hp x64 printer initial setup

Am trying to do initial SETUP phase of connecting a recently purchased HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one-series printer. I have reached the stage , where, having loaded the paper, I am waiting for the automatic printout of the alignment page and nothing is happening! The power light is on; the wireless indicator is flashing; all other indicators are off! I heard the cartrigde carrier moving after closing the access panel. My PC indicates that my wireless connection is good, although I do not think this is relevant at this stage? No errors are showing; the wireless icon is showing but no signal strenght bars on the control panel display! Any suggestions to fix it would be welcome. Donu.

Hi @DONU , Sunshyn here again.
I see you are stuck waiting for the alignment process to complete. At this point, I suggest leaving the printer on and unplugging the power cable, this will reset the printer, it's called a Hard reset. After a minute, go ahead and plug it back in and see what happens.
You should be able to go ahead and install the software, and you will be prompted to configure the printer during this process. After the software is installed and the printer is configured, try printing from the computer and let me know the outcome.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.

Sharing a Printer - Initial Setup

I can't figure out the setup, and can't find the setup procedure, for wireless printing from a remote laptop.
Remote laptop wireless access to the Internet works well. I am using a WRT54G, Windows XP, 2 computers (host and remote), host is hardwired to the router and the printer. Printer is an old Cannon S520 (only has 1 parallel cable connection).
I would appreciate anyone's help. (I don't even need to get into file sharing - but wouldn't mind going through the file sharing setup if it's easy.) How can I print from the remote laptop to the printer?
Thank you.

Before following the instructions below, make sure that you have already installed and configured your network adapter and its software drivers. Also File and Printer Sharing is not supported by Linksys Product support, you must do so at your own risk.
Windows 98/ME
<Note: If you have an XP computer on your network please see our area about file and printer sharing for Windows XP>
1. Go to Start - Settings - Control Panel
2. Double Click on Network
3. Under the Configuration Tab make sure you have the following:
* Client for Microsoft Network
* (A description of the network card)
* IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol > Network Card
* NetBEUI > Network Card
* TCP/IP > Network Card
* File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks
           -If you don't have IPx/SPx, and/or NetBEUI you'll have to click add>protocols>Microsoft then select which every protocol you need.
4. Under Primary Network Log On, have it set for Client for Microsoft Networks
5. Click on the File and Printer Sharing button and make sure both boxes are checked
6. Go to the Identification tab and make sure the Workgroup name is Identical on all computer on the network. Example if Workgroup name is WORKGROUP, then it has to be WORKGROUP on all computers. If it is workgroup, the all computers have to have workgroup. Computer name has to be unique on each computer and description does not matter
7. Finally, under Access Control, make sure that there is a check by Share Level Access control.
8. Then hit OK out of all the windows opened and restart when Windows asks you to.
Enabling File Sharing
After following steps 1-8 above, double-click the, My Computer icon. A window of available disk drives will appear. Using your right mouse button, click once on the drive, or open the drive and right click on the folder that you want to make available to other users.   Click Sharing and then click the Sharing tab. Click Share As. Enter your drive or folder name in the Share Name box (you can call it whatever you want--Mary's Computer, etc.).
Next, decide on the type of access that you want to give other users. "Read-Only" access lets other users view the files on your PC. "Full access" lets users create, change, or delete files on your system. "Depends on Password" lets users have Read-Only and/or Full access, depending on the password that you decide to share with them.
Use your mouse to select the type of file sharing access that you want other users to have. If you want to assign access password(s), type them into the Password box(es). When you're done, click the Apply button. Then, click OK. Your drive(s) can now be accessed from other users whenever they click on their Windows 95 Network Neighborhood icons. If a user tries to access one of your drives that's password-protected, he or she will be asked for the appropriate Read-Only or Full access password. After the item is shared you will see a hand appear underneath the folder or hard disk.
How to Share Printers
After following steps 1-8 above, double-click the My Computer icon. Click on the Printers folder. A window of available printers will appear. Using your right mouse button, click once on the printer that you want to share with other users. Click Sharing and then click the Sharing tab. Click Share As. In the Share Name box, give a name to the printer you're about to share (Jack's HP4, for example). If you want to assign a password to the printer so only certain users can access it, enter it in the Password box. When you're done, click the Apply button. Then, click OK. Your printer(s) are now shared.

11. Check to be sure that the computer name you're using is a unque name on the network, and workgroup is set, not domain. Now make sure that this computer has the same Workgroup as the rest of the network.
Windows XP
To setup a network in Windows XP, you'll need to run the networking wizard in Windows XP you can access it by going to:
Start> Control Panel> Network Connections (If you do not see “Network Connections” click on the Switch to Classic View option on the left hand side of Control Panel).
On the left side you'll see "Network Tasks"
Click on the option for Setup a Home or Small Office Network
This will bring you to a wizard.
Select the option for Connecting to Residential Gateway (That's the router).
Once the wizard is finished you'll have to make a floppy disk that you'll take around to the other computers to set them up. After you set them all up, shut down all the computers, and then start them up and you should be able to share files.
Please Note:
If you're using Windows 98/ME and try to access a Windows 2000/XP PC then you may not be able to access the shared portions of the Windows 2000/XP computer due to user right restrictions. To get around this you may want to have the Window 2000/XP PC access the files from the 98/ME machine. Else you'll need to setup User permissions.
For more information on that you can check Microsoft’s website or contact their technical support.
~Am I just an Option???~

During initial setup, I deleted the additional colored options in the Calender application. How do I get those colored options back? Thank you!!

Sounds like you have the print dialog minimised, as shown.
If you click the triangle next to the printer name, this will expand the print dialog and from this view you can see all the menu options as mentioned in the guide.

Initial setup of iMac's for business

I recently purchased several iMacs for our business to replace our old Dell desktops.
Since these are going to be work computer and not personal, what would be the best practice during initial setup and registration? Should I register them all up under my name? or is there a option to register under company profile? Along with that, how would each iMac be identified/named on the network?

I think there is even an option to skip registration altogether by pressing Command-Q.
As far as the network identification: On each Mac go to System Preferences and open Sharing. You will see an option for Computer Name. This is the name that will be visible on the network. It would be a good idea to make a spreadsheet in advance where you work out the naming convention for all workstations on your network, then enter the names you decide on into each Mac's Computer Name.
I agree it is a good idea to also set each Mac's hard drive name in a manner consistent with both the other workstations and each Mac's Computer Name, so that each machine and its drives are easy to identify when being browsed over the network in a list with the rest of the machines.
The Computer Name is the "entry point" for each Mac when someone browses your business's network. Logging in to a Computer Name then reveals the volumes shared by that Mac, including the boot drive and any additional hard drives inside the machine or attached externally, which is why consistent naming is important.
Getting the Computer Name right is also important because many other Mac sharing services are tied to it. If you set the Computer Name of a Mac to "receptionist", then people browsing the network will see services (if enabled) like
receptionist (in the Finder sidebar as a Mac with File Sharing/Screen Sharing on)
*receptionist's iTunes Library*
*receptionist's iPhoto Library*
*HP Printer@receptionist*
*Epson Fax@receptionist*
and so on.

PRO-1 failed initial setup

I purchased a PRO-1 this evening and started installing the printer.
I was very careful to follow each step, reading it twice and then performing it. I installed the ink tanks. Carefully removed the print head from the packaging, inserted it in the print head holder. The Joint Lever clicked closed without any fuss. Reassembled the Head Cover and closed the Top Cover.
The power light began flashing for a few moments, then the Yellow alarm light started flashing with the power light. I counted 10 flashes.
The instructions say to reseat the print head if the yellow light flashes. Nothing I do can get the print head back into position to reseat it. After an hour of frustration I power cycled it. This has obviously interupted the initial setup procedure and I'm not sure what to do at this point.
Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Canon's support solution is for me to return the printer to the store or take it to a repair shop 20 miles away.
I think I know what I'm going to do.
Very disappointed.

E1200 - Initial setup difficulties

I don't even know where to start... it's basically a poorly designed router! Every time you change a setting you start praying for this to come back.. most of the time you have to reset it to the defaults and start from the beginning. Try changing the routers name after the initial setup.. it immediately quits working and you are back to the hard reset. Try changing the security mode after the initial setup.... it quits.. well you get the picture. I would stay away - avoid! The good part is that once it's setup the internet works well with very good range. I might return and get the 10 year old Cisco-Linksys WRT54GL with Tomato firmware... way easier to setup and operate. I am afraid of touching this "router", god knows what it takes to add a printer to this - Another 3 hours waisted.

That’s pretty strange. Normally it’s just a matter of running the Cisco Connect CD that comes with the router and you’re up and running in under ten minutes. When you mentioned having to reset the router, do you mean by pressing the reset button or just unplugging and replugging the power to the device?

- Static IP
- Modem
- AIRPORT extreme ( static IP and DHCP active for clients ).
- Backup medium ( USB connection with AIRPORT extreme )
- MAC mini server ( new ) needed for SBS purposes ( ethernet connection with AIRPORT ).
- Client MAC & Windows ( 5-10 connected with the AIRPORT for internet )
- Printer ( all in one) .
- 20- 40 mail accounts
server purposes :
file sharing, web service , e-mail service etc.
Must all reachable out site the lan ( mail, files ).
Future :
Possible second domain.
My domain registry is running the DNS server .
( ns1.b.smarthosting.net and ns1.smarthosting.net ).
( DirectAdmin for control DNS )
I do not have a second server name server in use ( one server one location in use ).
I wish to run the e-mail service on my own server ( and Sendlabs MX backup Dyndns for backup ).
How to setup ?

How can I use a different computer from the one on which the initial setup was run for my iphone 3gs?

I would like to use my new MacBook to manage the information on my iphone.
Attempts to use any other computer other than the original one used in the initial setup generates a message that warns me that everything on the iphone will be erased? How can I back up the information and switch to the MacBook?

Copy your entire iTunes folder to your new computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527). Then carefully follow the steps in wjosten's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13356770#13356770.

I did not choose "use icloud" option for storing during my initial setup. How can I reset icloud account, so it can be used for storing.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you are planning on using iCloud to store files, forget about iCloud and use a cloud storage service like SkyDrive or Dropbox. iCloud is focused on information sync between the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac and PC instead of storing files like MobileMe. It's not worth using iCloud for this.
If you still want to set up iCloud, open Settings > iCloud, log in with your Apple ID and follow its steps

T500 Vista buying experience and initial setup problems

This a long post but I felt the information could be used by others buying a notebook and trying to set it up.
I have used a Thinkpad T40 (1 GB, XP Pro) at work since 2003 and just love the rock-solid keyboard, screen, and hinges. The IT department has offered me the most recent Dell computer as an upgrade but I much prefer to keep my old reliable T40.
When my daughter needed a notebook for university in September, it was only natural to consider Lenovo, having heard about too many quality problems with other manufacturers. I wanted this notebook to last through the 4 years without any hardware problems.
I did a lot of research on the Web and read numerous Thinkpad forums. The information gathered was invaluable for deciding which configuration to buy. Note that I have never used VISTA before, nor have I ever opened a notebook to replace parts.
Buying experience:
- On my first contact with the Lenovo Sales desk in Canada, they mentioned there was a special 25% coupon sale, if my configuration was over $1500 (discounted price). These specials come back often, so it is best to check the Lenovo site. At the time, there was a free integrated camera, free upgrade to 250 MB HDD and free shipping. Since these promotions can be removed at any time, I decided to place an online order for a Thinkpad T500, before having completed all my research. It is easy to place an order online. You just have to remember that not all items contribute to making up the $1500, such as MS Office software.
- Lenovo Sales telephone support for answering any questions about online ordering was outstanding and very helpful.
- Note that if a particular online configuration is there one week, it might not be there the next week. It depends on parts availability at Lenovo.
- In order to get the 25% coupon discount, I had to add some items to my configuration to reach $1500, such as Bluetooth, Wifi 5100, which I did not really need, but the saving on the overall cost was worthwhile.
- I had ordered a WXGA (1280 x 800) High Brightness LED Backlit screen and 3 GB of RAM. After reading about the poor display quality of these screens, I was able to cancel my order by phone the next day (after making sure the same deal was still available), and place a new revised order for a WSXGA+ TFT (1680 x 1050) screen. Since the configuration price for an additional 2 GB RAM was $110 CDN, I decided to buy the extra 2 GB RAM (only $43 CDN) as an accessory, on the same order, separate from the T500 configuration. I could then install the RAM myself to save $67 ! Just make sure you pay the extra to get the base 2 GB RAM on one DIMM, since there are only 2 slots available. I know I will only be using 3.5 GB with my 32-bit Windows, but at least, if one of the DIMMs goes bad, I can still operate on 2 GB.
- as for choosing which CPU to buy, I chose in the middle range, starting with the first CPU having 3 MB L2 cache.
- I did not buy MS Office or McAfee Antivirus with the configuration. Since my daughter attends a post-secondary institution, she was able to order MS Office Ultimate 2007 for $64 CDN + $13 for the DVD. Microsoft has had this promotion on their site
(http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-ca/default.aspx)
for a while, but it is not well known. You get 8 MS products for one low price and it is completely legal for numerous countries ! I downloaded the software since it took 5 weeks to get the DVD delivered ! At the end of 4 weeks, I contacted Microsoft to tell them I had still not received the DVD. So I received the first DVD and a few weeks later, I received a second copy. So much for quick shipping !
Initial impressions:
- I received 3 separate shipments: 1 free Thinkpad privacy filter to install on the screen, the 2 GB RAM, and finally the T500 (which took about 2 weeks).
-The stainless steel hinges are rock-solid. When trying to raise the lid in the first weeks, you have to hold down the keyboard. Not at all like the hinges I see on the Dell notebooks at work.
- The 3 USB port connections are very tight, which means they should last through repeated plugging and unplugging.
- The T500 is surprisingly quiet, more than my T40. You can hardly hear the fan.
- I am extremely satisfied with the screen resolution, colours, and quality.
- The only disappointment was the keyboard ! Typing on the left-hand side (Q,W keys) produced an annoying "clunk". This was the worst keyboard I had ever used, being accustomed to the legendary quality of my T40. Even my daughter complained about the keyboard. I had read on the forums about the "flex" in the keyboard. Before ordering, when I asked the Sales Rep if these known problems had been solved, I was told that yes, the keyboard flex was no longer an issue. Too bad this was not true !
Initial Setup:
- Setup was easy. Just follow the on-screen instructions.
- I was not very happy to see a trial version of MS-Office and McAfee Antivirus on my notebook. I had not ordered it on the online configuration and did not want it. I had read on the forums that other users had all sorts of problems trying to get their own version of MS Office working (activation keys not being recognized), when the pre-loaded software was still there. And I knew how difficult it could be to erase all traces of McAfee by myself.
Hardware problems:
- after I burned my very first DVD, I pressed the Eject button. To my surprise, there was a thin grey foam ring (about 3 cm diameter) sitting on top of my DVD media. I assumed that this came from the roof of the DVD drive and the manufacturing process had missed the glue to keep it there. I contacted Lenovo and they immediately sent out a replacement (received the next day), which was easy to install. I then returned the defective part to Lenovo. My only complaint is that this was a refurbished unit. I was expecting a new unit since the part was defective out of the box and not a few months later.
- for the defective keyboard, I contacted Lenovo and mentioned the numerous complaints on the forums, and they sent me a new keyboard (FRU 42T3938). Unlike the DVD drive, I did not have to send back the original keyboard. However, the replacement keyboard was exactly the same as the original, with a thin flexible backing full of holes. I contacted Lenovo again in the morning and the agent mentioned I should contact Sales, since there was nothing more he could do. That afternoon, the agent called me to say that after further research, he had found a replacement keyboard that would correct the flex. When I received the second replacement keyboard (FRU 42T3210), I knew it was the right one, since there were far less holes in the more solid backing plate. I followed the instructions for replacing the keyboard and added my additional 2 GB RAM at the same time, since it is in the same area, under the palm rest. Now the keyboard is almost like my solid T40, and I am no longer ashamed of the T500 keyboard. For those of you wondering what an ACNOR or CSA keyboard is, it is one where the 5 most common French accented characters (and not only the é) are used with one keystroke. I have been using such a keyboard disposition since 1994 and it is invaluable when typing in French.

My immediate goals:
- out of the box, there are 3 partitions: partitions Q (10 GB) and S (1 GB) are Lenovo partitions to recover the operating system, C partition is a single partition over 200 GB on my 250 GB DD. I wanted to partition the C: drive in multiple partitions.
- I also wanted to eliminate MS Office and McAfee so I could install my own software (MS Office 2007 Ultimate and free Avast Antivirus). When I contacted Lenovo to ask how I could do this, they said I could use the recovery partition and "customize" it so that this software would not be installed. Turns out that this option was removed by Lenovo. I guess pressure from Microsoft and McAfee was too great ! The only other option was to use Add/Remove.
Partitioning problems.
- I ran Diskmgmt.msc (also available on XP) to see the layout of my HDD. Unfortunately, it did not seem to be powerful enough to partition like I wanted. But it is great to see the layout of the disk and do basic partitioning. (http://www.theeldergeek.com/hard_drives.htm)
- I installed the free EASUS Partition Manager (http://www.partition-tool.com/); the non-free Pro version works on 64-bit. I wanted to partition: C 35GB (Operating System and Office), D 20GB (other applications), E 25GB (Data), F 100GB (Music and Pictures). I also installed the free EASUS Todo Backup (http://www.todo-backup.com/) to do regular image backups as I was proceeding.
- while trying to partition the C drive, I must have made an error somewhere (I think I accidentally declared another partition as the active partition). Whenever I rebooted, I would get the message "Boot MGR is missing". I could not even use the recovery partition (Q and S) on the HDD. So my notebook was totally unusable. Fortunately, I had burned 4 Recovery DVD's, as soon as the OS was operational. The first recovery DVD booted OK. However, the system would not recognize any of the 3 other recovery DVD, displaying a message such as wrong disk inserted or something similar. Imagine if in a few months I had needed to use these recovery DVD that I had burned; they were completely useless and I would have nothing to recover with. Very scary !
- I explained the problem to Lenovo Support and they sent me within 3 days a set of 4 Rescue & Recovery DVD. By following the instructions, it took 2 hours to recover to a working system. The good: no Office or McAfee trial software came with this recovery. The bad: there was a 2 GB empty partition at the beginning of the HDD and 10 GB of unallocated space at the end of the disk. Why Lenovo would do this, I don't know; seems a bit sloppy to me. Also, I had to manually reconfigure everything, since there is no "just follow the instructions" as when configuring the "out-of-the-box" system. I had to install my own PDF viewer
(free open source PDF X-viewer http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF-XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer), Adobe Flash, etc...
- the major problem in partitioning is the inability to shrink a partition (such as C) in order to free up space after to add extended partitions
(http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/working-around-windows-vistas-shrink-volume-inadequacy-...). There always seems to be VISTA unmovable files, MBR or something else. After reading numerous posts, I installed the trial version (30 days) of Raxco PerfectDisk Home edition in order to consolidate all the files to the front of the C: drive. A few iterations were required since the MBR seems to be placed in the middle of the partition. I was finally able to partition my HDD exactly as I wanted. I was so pleased with the efficiency and ease of use of PerfectDisk that I bought the Pro 10 version. Just wait for when the software is occasionally discounted. (http://www.perfectdisk.com/home)
VISTA User account setup:
I had created my E partition to store all user data of all accounts, since I would have multiple accounts on the computer. I also wanted to store all music and pictures in the Public folder on F partition. There are numerous methods described on the Internet, most of which seem too complicated. See http://joshmouch.wordpress.com/2007/04/07/change-user-profile-folder-location-in-vista/ and
http://www.vista4beginners.com/Move-user-files-folders-to-another-partition?page=1. I finally decided to do just 2 simple registry modifications described in the last post here
(http://superuser.com/questions/6391/moving-users-folder-on-windows-vista-seven-to-another-partition).
It worked for me but use at your own risk ! Just edit the 2 Registry keys and replace the C: drive by the one you need.
- I only had the Admin account created on the C: partition. Before creating any other user accounts, I modified the registry so that all new user accounts created would use my E partition.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList ProfilesDirectory = E:\Users
- I modified the registry so that the Public folder would be on my F partition.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList Public = F:\Public
Other notes of interest:
- I had been a long-time subscriber to the Fred Langa Langalist
(http://www.langa.com/backups/backups.htm). I now subscribe to the excellent Windows Secrets newsletter (http://www.windowssecrets.com/). The information provided is very useful.
- I had considered an inexpensive boot manager, partition manager and imaging software (BootIt Next Generation) highly recommended by Fred Langa
(http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/index.htm). But it seemed a bit like overkill for my needs. There is a fully-functioning trial version.
- I regularly consult a complete list of recommended free software on Gizmo's Freeware review (http://www.techsupportalert.com). One recommended free open source defragmenter which I did not use was MyDefrag (http://www.mydefrag.com/).
- download and install the latest version of the Lenovo System Tools (Toolbox). It is very easy to use and can troubleshoot all hardware problems. Search for MIGR-67520 on the Lenovo site.
- you can find Roxio DVD burning software on the Lenovo site (MIGR-72359 on the Lenovo site). I have not installed it yet.
- use the Lenovo System Update to keep your drivers up-to-date.
- for info on how to use switchable graphics, search on the Lenovo site for MIGR-70495.
- for tips on setting battery parameters, http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=320082
Recommendations to Lenovo:
- don't ship poor quality keyboards. You have too much to lose, for the small manufacturing savings.
- don't pre-install trial versions of Office or McAfee. This should be an option and not be forced onto buyers.
- at least ship the HDD with a 40 GB C primary partition and the rest as D: partition. This would make it easier for users who are not technical.
- if you are going to include an integrated camera, provide software to use it. Currently, I have no way of taking a picture or making a video without acquiring other software. The technique described here

people complaining about problems installing an office over another office are (dare i say it) stupid. it makes absolutely no sense installing one over the trial version. just uninstall the trial and you'll be fine. every single time.
as for problem with uninstalling mcafee (or any other antivirus, for that matter, just download the uninstaller from the software company e.g. http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507 for mcafee.
that said i believe you get to choose if you want mcafee and/or office when you go through the inital boot, the "on-screen instructions"
you can slow down the odd via power manager
and thanks for the tips on changing the reg to have the user profiles somewhere else!

is it possible to restore from a backup after initial setup on my iPad air?

You don't even have to do to an erase all content and settings.
Just connect the iPad to iTunes. Once it appears on the left, right click on it and select restore from backup. It's that easy.

Problem with Printer Utility Setup when installing Epson printer

Hi everyone,
Hope some kind soul here can help me out on this.
I bought a Epson Stylus CX7300 All-in-one printer yesterday and am having difficulty installing the printer driver onto my eMac running on OSX 10.3.9.
I followed the procedure on the Epson installation disc and even called up their customer support office and went through step-by-step guides to troublesome the cause. Even downloaded the latest driver from the Epson site, and installed it, but every time I open up a document and tries to print, the following would occur:
1. When I click "PRINT", a pop-up will appear, and under the printer field, it will be indicated as "NO PRINTER SELECTED"
2. I would then select "EDIT PRINTER LIST" from the printer field - after which another pop-up will appear saying "You have no printers available. Would you like to add your list of printers now?"
3. When I click "ADD", an error pop-up will appear saying "The application Printer Setup Utility has unexpectedly quit. The system and other applications have not been affected. Would you like to submit a bug report to Apple?"
I have submitted tonnes of "bug reports" to Apple since yesterday but nothing happened.
I also tried to open Printer Utility Setup directly from under System/Applications/Utilities, but the same error will appear and it will just quit "unexpectedly".
Is there any remedy to this?
Oh, the strange thing is, the CX7300 can scan images fine, and I also managed to do a test print from Epson's utility.
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
Alvinology

Hi, I was just about to post the same question myself. I'm trying to sort out a friends iMac G5 with a Canon Pixma(?) printer. In this case the printer used to work OK, but after moving house and setting it up again, Print Utility crashes every time when trying to add the printer.
Thanks

Ps CS5 "Print Page Setup" dialog will not open

Hello: I was printing via my Photoshop CS5.
I accidentally created a paper size of 0cm x 0cm and attempted to print (up to this point Photoshop and Print worked).
I now (permanently) get an error message: "There was an error opening your printer. . . "
Photoshop >File >Print. . . will not open the Print Page Setup.
Photoshop >File >Print one copy (works, but still tries to print 0cm x 0cm, the printer spits out a blank page).
Using the (Mac/Apple) app 'Preview' I deleted the paper size preset '0cm x 0cm'.
apps; Preview, Text Edit, Mail, Word, . . . all print properly (they can open the 'Print Page Setup' dialog).
I set up two other printers (now three in total) and they work with all applications (except Photoshop).
I uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop and my printers, including all their preference files.
Also, I again deleted Photoshop preference files by opening Photoshop while pressing 'Shft-Opt-Cmd'.
In 'System Preferences' >Print & Fax >Printers; I reset my computer's "Printing System".
I repaired 'Disk Permissions', Safe Boot and have also done multiple restarts.
Since only Photoshop has a problem, I believe Photoshop has (somewhere) set a preference thinking it's default paper size is 0cm x 0cm which is throwing an error and preventing the 'Print Page Setup' from opening.
I updated Photoshop Adobe Air, Printers, . . . after re-installing.
I ran an app that clears my computer's caches.
I reinstalled (and updated) my computer's operating system (OS only, not my account and data).
I would appreciate your help. Thank-you, M_L_R

Hello: I repaired my (Print: Page Setup. . . dialog panel will not open) problem.
The fix was one of the many suggestions I researched in the 'Adobe Help'.
    Unfortunately I dismissed this solution (until now).
    reference: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-install-printer-photoshop-cs4.html
        see >Solution 7: Create a different user account and run Photoshop as that user.
Some of the (following) procedures may not be necessary, but the core solution is in there. . .
    Mac OS X v10.5 or later >System Preferences >Accounts >Guest Account (sharing only) >Allow guests to log in to this computer >Automatic Login (for Administrator, still active - optional) >then log out of the (main/administrator) account >then Log in to the guest account >go to the applications folder (in the guest account) >open Photoshop >create a new simple document (example: create one text letter) >Print. . . (in this situation Print: Page Setup. . . the dialog panel opens [remember: this is the error problem in the main account]) >(do what you normally do) select your printer >set up a page size and printer options >print. Save that Photoshop project >delete that Photoshop project >Log out (of the Guest account) >Log in to your regular (main/administrator) account >the Guest account can now be deactivated (optional) >open Photoshop (in your main account) >test print a simple document >the (Print: Page Setup. . .) dialog panel now opens >(do what you normally do) select your printer >set up a page size and printer options >print.

New MBP 15 retina (mid 2014) freeze during initial setup - any issues?

Hi all - just picked up a new retina MBP 15 base model (integrated graphics / 256GB / 16 GB RAM). After turning it on for the first time and running the initial setup the computer froze on the diagnostics and usage page (after I clicked continue). I had also setup an account and named the computer. After about 25 minutes of seeing a spinning beach ball, I held down the power button for a hard shut down. I turned it back on and it went through the initial setup process without issue (although I had to create a different user account since the previous one was recognized). The computer was pre-loaded with Yosemite and I immediately updated the software with the latest patch. Also, I noticed both user accounts I had made were stored, so I deleted the first one that I created during the failed setup.
Should this be a cause for concern? Everything seems to be working properly outside of the initial setup freeze. Have any other users experienced this? Also, I had thought the macbook would have had Mavericks on it and that a manual upgrade to Yosemite would have been required. Is this an issue with Yosemite? Apologies for several questions in one post.

Hi there again.
I didn't had any of the problems you mentioned (45' minutes setup). We tried along with AppleCare to make a new partition to the hard disk in order to install OS in that one and boot the machine from it. It didn't help as the machine didn't let me to make a partition. Later on we swiped the hard disk and at the moment where you choose the hard disk to install OS, there wasn't any to choose. Returned the machine to the store I bought it and they sent it to the authorized service center where they told me that the machine just didn't have any OS installed.
I asked them why there isn't any hard disks available and they told that there was a problem to the file sector of the hard disk. They repaired it and they sent the machine back to me. Regarding why the machine came with Mavericks and not with Yosemite, I suppose that they had the machine in stock (knowing that Yosemite was released after the MBP mid-2014).
There are still some problems I don't like at all. Safari - opened pdf in browser - fully loaded, scrolling down...cracks.
I'm not happy at all. That was my first purchase on Apple's computers and I don't know if I will do it again.
By the way, I noticed the same performance in other computers as well. (click on "About this Mac", then click on "Overview, Displays, Storage" etc. There, I see cracks on graphics between the change to other tabs.)
