I can no longer print wirelessly without switching on Wireless setting on printer

My network is a Mac running OSX 10.5, HP Deskjet 3050 connected by USB to the Mac and a Dell laptop running Windows Vista. Previously the PC printed wirelessly but that stopped suddenly. I uninstalled the HP drivers on both computers, downloaded and installed the newest versions for both then ran the HP printer wizard.
Yes, I can print from both computers but I'd like to get it back the way it was without one more device in my house generating or demanding microwaves.

So you want to go from a wirelessly networked printer to a print sharing across different operating systems? Why? It will just stop working again. It is a very unreliable way to print.
There are not significantly more or fewer microwaves in your system with the printer connected wirelessly. If you are really worried about that you should shut down your wireless router, which is the source of the transmissions, and buy a wired router and string Ethernet cables throughout your home.

Un-install Adobe Acrobat and repair the installation of Adobe Reader.

Time capsule: will it work wirelessly without disrupting my wireless system?

Time capsule: will it work wirelessly without disrupting my wireless system?

This type of setup is difficult, and not officially supported by Apple for good reason.
Before you attempt this, you should know that this type of setup will require a "double hop" wireless connection for backups.
In other words, for your Mac to back up, the wireless signal must travel from your Mac to your wireless router......hop one.....and then travel from the wireless router to the Time Capsule....hop two.
This doubles the chances of an error occurring and unfortunately also doubles the amount of time that it will take for a backup to occur.
I've tried this type of setup a few times as an experiment. It gives new meaning to word "SLOW".
In addition, the Ethernet ports are disabled in this type of setup on the Time Capsule, so it is not possible to use them for any purpose.
Bottom line....the fact that the Time Capsule can possibly be configured this way.....does not in any way imply that it should be configured this way.

HT3669 With recent upgrade to my Mac I can no longer get supply report on ink status in my printer-light is blinking and unable to tell which cartridge needs replacing?

With the recent upgrade to my computer I can no longer get Supply reports from my printer: a red light is flashing and I don't know which ink cartridge needs replacing?

I happen to have an Epson printer as well - WorkForce 645 - that does show the supply levels.
Since I have one, I know that Apple recently updated the Epson printer software (less than two weeks ago). Do you have the latest software? If not, you can get it through the App Store or here:

Try it if you don't currently have it. If you're not sure, you can download it - it can't hurt.

Can a PDF be made to by default print with "flip on short edge" set if printed double-sided?

I'm producing a 4-side, 1-sheet PDF booklet download. Our main target audience is professionals (not necessarily tech-profecient) who will download it and print it on regular office printers. Most modern office printers can print double-sided, so we expect people to print it on one sheet, fold it in the middle, and use it like that.
This gives us a problem: the default setting for double-sided printing in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat appears to be to flip on the long edge. For a folded booklet, this results in the centre pages printing upside down. I, personally, know how to change this setting - but our audience won't, and we've found that even within our own tightly controlled office network, the options for changing this setting are in different places for different people - so giving everyone who downloads it instructions on how to change the setting will be difficult. I'm tech profecient enough to confidently poke around in the various printer settings dialogs until I find it, but most of our audience won't be, and many people will get it wrong even with basic guidance telling them what to look for.
The "Flip on long edge" default appears to be based on the assumption that printed documents are to be held and read portrait, regardless of how they are printed. Is there any way to set a PDF to instruct Adobe Reader etc that this document is to be read landscape (or, folded), so that it can know to flip on the short edge by default for this particular document?
I'm not fussy about what software I use to create or edit the PDF. I'm using InDesign at the moment but will happily use Acrobat, or even hack the code of the PDF with a text editor, if that's what makes it work. I'm asking on the Adobe Reader board since it's not so much a question of how to set this, as whether there is anything in Adobe Reader that is actually capable of interpreting and acting on such information from a PDF.
Another type of answer that could solve my problem is, is there some universal way to set "Flip on short edge" where the steps the user follows are the same regardless of whether they are using Reader or Acrobat, PC or Mac, and regardless of specific printer drivers or printer software?

Can no longer open anything without finder asking for password verification, but not accepting password

I plugged in an external DVD/CD burner but finder won't let me use it, and a message comes up saying "Finder wants to make changes, type your password to allow this' however, when I type my password it will no longer accept it and has an error code -128 message come up. I can also now not do anything on the desktop without the same finder password verification request happening. Have tried restarting the computer twice with no luck. Running system OSX10.8.2

This might be a rare case in which Repair Permissions in Disk Utility is worth a try.

Can cisco CAP2702i connect to Cisco3850 switch with wireless LAN controller license via another switch ?

If i connect cisco AP - CAP2702i to another switch, and use trunk port between Cisco3850 and the other switch , can the AP able to register with Cisco3850 with wireless LAN controller ? or the AP has to directly connect to Cisco3850 in order to register?

The AP and 3850 wireless management are in same Vlan( vlan202). The AP is new unit and did not join MC before.
What i did on 3850 :
input command - wireless management interface vlan 202
- ap cdp
- wireless mobility controller
Is there any config i miss out on 3850 and any config need to be set on AP ?
From Ap console output show me "could not discover WLC using dhcp ip". Is it due to AP dont have IP address? If AP register with WLC through layer 2 , i believe there is no related with IP.Correct me if i'm wrong.
Due to the 3850 is not a POE, the AP unable directly connect to 3850 . I guess have to use power adapter to power on the AP.

How to save an illustrator file that contains gradients as a pdf print file without the gradients streaking on the print

When I create files in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign if the design includes gradients and I save or export it as a pdf for print, whenever I have the file printed the gradients often come out with lines and streaks in the print. I usually work around this by copying the gradient to a file of its own, save it as a jpeg, and then insert the jpeg back into the original file before saving it as a pdf. This can be a big hassle and I was wondering if there's a setting in illustrator, photoshop, and Indesign in order to avoid the hassle.

You would have to check your color management and things like overprint settings or the ink levels of the color components. Streaking is usually a sign of areas getting oversaturated and the automatic adjustments in the printer driver being unable to compensate. and then of course other factors may figure in like banding inherent in using gradients across large areas, out of gamut issues for certain colors and what have you. You'd have to be much more specific about all of that for anyone to even begin to advise specifically...

Can no longer connect wirelessly to BT Home Hub

Macs...start straight from the box, all the software you need, ready to go....erm, except if your machine worked fine before you upgraded to Snow Leopard and now you can no longer use your expensive mac laptop wirelessly.
The internet is full of people identifying a glitch in SL. NO, its not the router - my old iMac G5 connects fine, as did this new shiny, now useless MacBook... before I upgraded to SL and the wi-fi went.
Outraged? Annoyed? Disgusted apple can't/won't fix it? You bet. This is plainly ridiculous. Please, can somebody offer some help (in simple non techie language please) and also tell me how to unistall SL, so I can go back to Leopard if none of the fixes work and do simple stuff that even pc's can manage, like wireless. One word: RIDICULOUS! Thanks in advance for your help. regards, Exasperated.

Have you tried rebooting the router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
Turn Wifi off and on on the iPad? Reset the network settings? Forget the Network?

Can no longer telnet to my Cisco 2924 xl

Hi,
I have a Cisco 2924 XL where port 24 is trunked to another port on Cisco 3750. Both interfaces are up, but I can no longer telnet til the switch. I get this error message "VLAN-4-VTP_INTERNAL_ERROR: VLAN manager received an internal error 26 from vtp function vtp_download_info: Inconsistant TLB (translational bridge) VLAN IDs". Tanks in Advance

Hi,
This is typically indicative of a corrupt vlan database.
Try this:
Rename the file on flash called vlan.dat to something different like vlan.old, then reboot the switch and rebuild your vlan database and see if the errors come back. If the errors do not come back you can delete vlan.old (or whatever you named it) and run off of the new vlan database file in flash.
HTH,
Bobby
