Need a printer recommendation for a small office

hey folks, hoping someone might be able to suggest a recommendation for our business. We’ve had an OkiData color laser printer that’s lasted over 6 years but it’s been giving us some trouble over the last year and yesterday it stopped printing with an error we can’t resolve. Would have to bring a tech in to fix and we’d basically already decided that once this thing bit the dust we’d move on to something else. It’s time.
We are looking for something in the $200-$400 range, would consider going a little higher if it was clearly worth it. We want something that connects wireless, prints quickly and reliably in Snow Leopard over an Airport Extreme network, decent color print quality is important but doesn’t have to be photo quality (we have an HP Photosmart for that kind of stuff), and it needs to have reasonable printing cost per page. We don’t print a tremendous amount of stuff, but we probably go through 100-200 pages a day and it adds up.
Was looking at the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless and that looks like a nice unit except half the people who buy one hate it. Looks like HP quality control is lacking and if you get a good unit, great, but the odds are good you’ll get a lousy one.
Also looking at the Brother HL-3070CW, but reviews say it has a high consumable cost.
Basically, the more I look into this the more I head spins and now I've got myself wrapped around the axle and don’t know what to do.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

I would steer clear of the 500 express. Since you seem to be new to cisco products, I would use the opportunity and buy what most of your potential customers already have. Get yourself a pix/asa and a 2900 series switch as first poster suggested. If you are interested in certifications, you will need to learn the command line interface. The 500 express will do you no good as it is all gui. This is only my opinion of course. Oh, and did I see not expensive and cisco in the same sentence. :)

Speaker Recommendations For iPhone 4

Hi guys,
I am sure this question has been asked countless times but I still would love some input. I want to get a speaker set for my iPhone 4 and iPod Touch and this would be my primary music system. My budget is around 400-500USD and since I am in India, I may have to order it from abroad hence may not even able to test it. I had an Altec Lansing IM7 and now seeking to replace it though it was a great buy and worked outside as well.
I am really liking the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini but have not tested it in person and another option is the older generation of Bose. But at the same time I wonder if I should wait for an Airplay Speaker like the Zeppelin Air (though its way out of my budget 800USD).
Audio quality is the most important to me but at the same time it shouldn't be humengous. So any inputs would be really appreciated and recommendations on Airplay speakers would help too.
I don't know if this helps but I listen to a lot of piano rock, rock, acoustic performances and ambient music and sometimes movie scores.
Thanks
Tanya

You would be very happy with the sound on the Zeppelin Mini based on the type of music you listen to. Your only question is do you want to wait until there are more AirPlay devices on the market.

Need a scanner recommendation for slides

(Not sure if this is the correct forum, but here goes)
Any recommendations for a scanner that will do slides? I've got my father-in-laws slides from the last 20 years and want to scan them, but can't quite figure what scanner would do the job. I don't need (nor want to spend $) on an auto feeder, but would like to be able to scan at least 4 slides at a time. I've got old photos and negatives that I'll be scanning as well, and would spend up to $400. Thanks!!

YMMV but I just finished scanning over 1200 color 35 mm slides from the 60's and 70's for eventual prinitng and use in my scrapbooks. I have an Epson 4870 scanner and I can scan 40 slides an hour using it. It works well. The price is a bit more, $440 or so, but the advantages are worth it.
If you have 2.25 x 2.25 glass slides you will have to build your own slide holder to scan them.
I got the scanner originally for a major scanning project for the local historical society of about 1500 5 x 7 glass plate negatives from the early 1900's. It's doing good archival quality scans of these materials as well as archival scans of our other historical negatives, about 2000 nitrate negatives of our local area. It's a low end professional scanner but IMO worth every penny.
For info on digital imaging help you might want to take a look here:
http://www.cdpheritage.org/
The best practices document on digital imaging is excellent for all the issues you will face and need to deal with. Geared towards historical collections it's still useful for personal stuff.
The Epson SW and scanner works well on the Mac. I just upgraded to Tiger, and it still is working, unlike many other items. <G>
I use Photoshop CS for histogram evaluations, image processing and thumbnail creation for the historical negatives but have just used the files as scanned for my scrapbook images.

Needed: Book(s) recommendations for beginner, needing to come up to speed for complexity quickly

Hello all,
I've been kind of thrown into the need to learn LV quickly. I've gone through the LV 101 videos, and got a decent start....but need to learn more in-depth quickly. I'm looking maybe for a book on amazon, that will get me as a noob started quickly...but also, something needed beyond just the basics of trying to explain the concept of the front panel and block diagram screens....
I'm needing to get into learning how to wire up things like even structures...being able to allow the user to right click an object on the screen, present a drop down menu, and change the object based on their selection. I've posted here before looking how to do multi-colored indicators..and starting to get a grip on some of that, but still not yet...
I'm looking at an example of an older version of the app I'm trying to create and improve on...and see how they were changing a boolean indicator (they used a round one, but was flat unlike the LED shaped ones)..but they were able to change the colors of the text and control with three different background and text combinations both when it was clicked, and programatically when a trigger was pressed...etc.
I'm seeing a structure they used called a "property node" and using colors under that to change it, it appears....I need to learn to understand that....but the application I have is a bit complex for me to track and figure out everything as it flows....
I thought I'd seen a recommendation for a book on this forum called: Labview for Everyone...but that is dated 2006...would this be too old since I'm working with LabView 2011?
Anyway, I'm looking through all the stuff in the NI site's Knowledgebase....but think getting a quality book that is a bit structured taking me from basics to more complex things would be the best way for me to learn and organize my thoughts.
I've programmed (awhile back) with Delphi for Object Pascal...and some java with Eclipse. But with Delphi, I have worked with an IDE...putting object on a screen, and then setting and programming properties...but LV is a bit different, and I'm just not familiar with all the objects available to me..and the graphical programming rather than writing code in there to handle things..is a bit new to me.
Anyway, hoping ya'll can give me some good book recommendations...and any links to web info greatly appreciated too.
Thank you in advance!!

cayenne,
without giving any special suggestion, i want to point out:
Even "out dated" books can give you valuable information since the programming paradigm of LabVIEW (dataflow) is still valid.
Ok, we have to admit that information on certain elements as well as esp. performance might not be true because of the changes LV had undergone over the years (e.g. compiler changes in LV 2009/2010).
Adding to this, i urge you not only to look for technical expertise but also on "how do i approach a development task". I find this link a helpful source for this.
hope this helps,
Norbert
Thank you for the reply. I'm looking at the link and it looks informative.
I went ahead and bought the book LabView for everyone. One thing however, I read in one review, that the book is light on the topic of event driven vi''s......which is something I'm definitiely needing information on....simple examples would be even better.
Any links or book recommendations on this particular topic?
Thank you,

Where to buy Speaker Stands for my Creative Inspire T7900 System in Germany?

Hi,
I'm trying to buy the MT-1200 Speaker Stands here in Germany. Any help where I could get them (even outside Germany) would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Here is what will work using your existing 4-3 cable and an extra 3.5mm cable. First unplug all the cables from the back of your card and your woofer. Then plug your new 3.5 cable (make sure you are using a stereo cable and not a mono one) into the black on the back of your card and the black (rear speakers) on the back of your woofer. Then reverse your 4-3 cable that came with your speakers. Take the 4 side of the plug and use that end on your card instead of the speaker side. With the 4 plugs hook the green plug to green on the card, orange plug to orange on the card and black plug to grey on the card. You do not need to use the grey plug, so just let it hang there or whatever. On the end with the three plugs, on the back of your woofer hook the green plug to green (front speakers), orange plug to orange (center and subwoofer) and the black plug to black (side speakers.) This is the only way that it would work for me. Simply unhooking the grey on the subwoofer and running an extra cable from there to the grey on the back of the card did not work for me. It has to do with the way Creative has the 4-3 plug wired and it combines rear and side speakers. You will notice this if you look at the colored plugs and compare the number of rings on the male plugs; some have two and some have three for the different channels. When I simply run an extra wire from grey to grey it still cuts out half my speakers. The above way I outlined works awesome and gives me true 7.1 sound. Good luck!

Need data retrieval recommendations for the UK only please

Hey folks.
I just wanted to say that I had a problem with strange sounds off my hard disk, the lengthy restarts and problems waking up the computer after battery being empty and finally my hard disk died completely.
With 17 months under its belt this Hitachi 80GB hard disk ought not to have died but this happens. Sadly I was ABOUT to back up (isn't that always the way?) but had not managed (due to the problems) and so lost some EXTREMELY valuable data. ie photos (numbering 400 and about 600 others) of my grandfather who was taken into hospital for heart failure aged 91 on the VERY SAME DAY.
Now- I am NOT letting this hard disk go. I have been told by the kind but very slow (Apple took over a fortnight to send them a replacement disk and they had it for 16 days in the end- I went mad) folk who repaired it, it is the mechanism which failed and not the platters which melted or otherwise warped.
So- this means that the chances of data retrieval are high. BUT- I have had one quote from the firm they recommended and was told it could be as much as £1,300 on the slowest service. Now, as you will appreciate, there IS no value which can be placed on such precious things as memories of a loved one but SURELY there is a chance that someone here has knowledge of a more- erm- cost efficient method?
LOOOOONG story short: Can you recommend anyone in the UK area who does a good job retrieving data from what has been deemed a high probability recovery?
Anything I need to know about the subject? All I can tell you is that this WILL involve removing the platters from the mechanism and placing them to another, functioning one with the probability of needing to back up in the region of 20GB.
Your help in this is so very gratefully received. I am thankful you users are here to hold my hand on this.

Posted this under the correct header as well- 15 Powerbook. Resolved it myself- went on the net and just picked one. Was semi-successful and if you are needing info check it out- I have explained this there.

I need audio system recommendations for my iMac.

I have a large iTunes library on my iMac and currently listen to it through a Yamaha receiver with two Cerwin-Vega speakers and an Infinity sub. Although the receiver is designed for surround sound, I just use the stereo mode for music. It puts out 130 watts per channel although I use it in a small 12 x 14 office in my home. I would like to upgrade my sound system for the Mac if there is something available that is just killer for this application.

Yes, a dedicated stereo integrated amplifier would have discrete electronic components, as opposed to the "chip" circuitry in your Yamaha surround receiver. I myself use a Denon discrete integrated amplifier and it sounds far more lifelike and images far better than the Denon receiver it replaced. There is a limit as to how far you can improve your sound though in that iTunes songs are recorded and played at less than CD quality and there is no way around that without directly ripping from CD's using a lossless format. So, to sum up, yes you have definite possibilities for improving your listening experience. And I might recommend if you are interested in saving money that you research on http://www.audiogon.com for quality used components sold by other audiophiles who themselves are upgrading. I've purchased and sold on the site for years. It's the eBay of audio only components.
And, Yes, to your Question 1.
Hope this helps

Need a product recommendation for small network

Hello All!
I just started a small computer and network consulting company (in addition to my "day job"). I work for a huge company with several hundred sites, all Cisco networking of course. I am also setting up a small network and computer consulting company to do on the side and will be dealing with small companies and helping them with their network needs. Anyway, I am looking for a entry level Cisco product because my Linksys just isn't going to cut it any more. I want to set up 3 servers and I currently have 5 static IP's from Comcast. I want something that would operate like a PIX515 firewall but that would obviously be overkill for what I am doing. I want the capability to set up port forwarding to the inside from my 5 external IP's. Wi-Fi isn't critical but would be a "nice to have" if it didn't cost too much more. What would be a good product for my needs? I want a NICE CISCO product but not an EXPENSIVE one, either. I am also interested in certification and possibly becoming a VAR soon. Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
--GREG--

I would steer clear of the 500 express. Since you seem to be new to cisco products, I would use the opportunity and buy what most of your potential customers already have.

Need Digital SLR recommendation for Mac

I hope this is posted at the right location.
I would like to buy my first digital SLR camera.
Can any one recommend a digital SLR that would work well with my Mac (presently 350Mhz G4, 384MB, OS10.3.7, but can upgrade to 10.4, and would like to get a new Mac within the year; photos would be stored on an external Lacie 160 GB HD).
I am interested in, but not limited to, the Canon Rebel XT, Canon EOS 20D, Nikon D50, and Nikon D70S.
I know there are sometimes issues with cameras and Macs - do any of these perform better than others with the Mac and iphoto (which I have not used yet); any not well at all?
From what I have read, I favor the Canon EOS 20D.
On the other hand, It's been my impression that Nikkor lenses were at the top, and buying a Nikon gets you into that line of lenses. But that may not be so any more, if it ever was; Canon has a good reputation also.
I seem to recall Macworld giving a stromg recommendation to the Nikon D70 some time ago, but I can't track that down.
Any input at all would be appreciated.
Thanks
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.7)

All the cameras you mention will work fine with the Mac and iPhoto, though iPhoto isn't a capable enough application to make the most of the pictures any digital SLR can produce — before long you'll want an image processing application that offers more features and control.
Don't choose a camera on the basis of Mac compatibility or iPhoto compatibility — those are non-issues. Choose the camera on its own merits as a photographic tool and on the basis of how each one feels and handles. Don't buy any of these cameras without handling it. And don't choose on the basis of either manufacturer's reputation for lens quality: those reputations were made by their professional lens lines, not the cheap amateur lenses that are offered with these low-end cameras. You can replace them with the better pro lenses, but at a considerable increase in cost.

Need Ex HD: recommendation for movies?

Well, I've had it: been downloading in real time 16 years of 8mm. Convert to DVD using iDVD. Then put on DVD disks. What a pain...
Now I'm thinking, with EXT hardrives getting cheaper, I'd like to download and store the whole thing in a nice HD. I think one 1,000gig would do it. Then I could cut and edit and mess around at my leisure.
I don't know a whole lot about ext HDrives. I have a 160 gig Glyph for my music. And recently got a cheap Western Dig USB (250gig) one for my sons to knock around.
But I want something fast and reliable for all the work I'm planning. Is there a link or place that can explain the current "must knows" about external hard drives? I assume "firewire" a must. And budgets do matter! I saw some 1tb and 2TB at costco, WEstern Dig.
Anything else I need to know?
JON

Hi
I've got a Western Digital 1 Tb - don't know if it is good quality but so far it works OK.
IMPORTANT:
• Buy a FireWire hard disk. USB/USB2 performs badly. Good to store on but not to
work on a project on. I got one to store movies on - but move them internally to
be able to work/edit.
• IT HAS TO BE: formatted as Mac OS Extended - DOS/UNIX/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange DO NOT WORK !

I Need the driver CD for Zen To

i need the driver CD for my Creative Zen Touch for Windows XP
because i lost it
and how can I contakt the german creative support
i dont know how i can contact creative with phone
is there any german Creative forum ?
or have anyone an idea how i can get the driver cd for Zen TouchMessage Edited by T3chn0fr3ak on 03-26-2006:36 PM

Hi, ich denke mal, ich kann dir auch in deutsch antworten.
also von dem link oben aus, w?hlst du erst mal mp3 player, dann zen und schlie?lich zen touch. auf der n?chsten seite kannst du dann dein betriebssytem ausw?hlen (sprache ist egal) und w?hlst dann noch driver aus. dann hast du auf der n?chsten seite nur eine datei zur auswahl, n?mlich den aktuellen treiber f?r windows xp f?r einen zen touch mit der alten V. Firmware. Dann m?te WIndows den Player erkennen. Zum Transfer von Musikdateien, empfehle ich dir dann noch den Nomad Explorer runterzuladen, den w?rdest du dann finden, wenn du oben anstatt driver, application ausw?hlst. Der macht das ?berspielen und verwalten der Musikdateien einfacher.
Ansonsten besteht auch noch die M?glichkeit, die Firmware des Players upzudaten, auf die V.2 mit der Playsforsure F?higkeit. Dann reicht es, wenn auf einem Computer XP und der Mediaplayer 0 installiert sind. Ein Treiber w?re dann nicht mehr n?tig.
Ich empfehle dir allerdings, erst mal die treibervariante auszuprobieren, da das update nicht mehr r?ckgangig zu machen ist, und wenn du mit der alten variante zufrieden bist, ein update nicht zwingend n?tig ist.
wenn du noch fragen hast, dann schick mir ne pers?nlich nachricht, ich bin eigentlich alle zwei, drei tage in diesem forum.
