Is it possible to set up a Pc to Mac networking printer?

I just bought a nice printer for my family's house. My mom asked my to hook it up (me being the computer guru). I semi-recently got a Mac Book Pro (because of cource Mac are better than PC's) Anyway, this printer is hooked up to the PC downstairs because the PC has the router that sends the internet to me and my sister's laptops. Since my sister has a PC, I easily conneced her to the printer. But, even though I'm pretty slick on computers) I've been having trouble connecting this one to the network. I've trie Bonjour and other programs and tricks. I dunno if I was just doing them wrong. But if anyone has any type of solution...please post back...I need help!!

As Linc said, the answer is no.
You would need to go back to normal WiFi mode and setup an Ad-Hoc connection if you do not have a router.

  • Is it possible to set up Time Capsule on one network and then access its stored data (movies) using Back to My Mac from another network that also has Apple TV to play them?

    I recently purchased a Time Capsule to store data at my office.  I have an Apple TV at my home that I would like to start using to play my movies.  With the storage of the new Time Capsule, I am curious if I can somehow store my iTunes movies on the Time Capsule at my office and then use Back to My Mac to access the TC from my home and then play them via Apple TV.  Does this sound possible?  We have an iMac at the office that remains on 24/7 connected to the TC.

    ATV cannot play movies from the TC, even if it is on your home network.. ATV is a streamer.. it is not a media player.. and the TC is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router.. so it has nothing in it either.
    You cannot play movies from ATV without itunes, which streams to the ATV.
    If the iMac is running 24/7 then you should be able to connect to the iMac remotely and run from iTunes on that, which could then play movies stored on the TC.. with the following issues.. if you use wireless on the iMac forget it. The iMac has to be ethernet connected as it has to pick up the movie on the library and play it back to the TC to network to your home.
    The next issues is speed of slowest connection.
    Your download to your home maybe great.. what is the upload speed from your office like??
    If you pay for uploads and downloads you will pay for the movie 3x.. first to download it.. second to upload it.. office to net..  and third to download it again.. net to home..  Sorry but it is better to play the movie directly from online itunes store.
    If you plan to try and play non-itunes movies over the connection, it won't work.. ATV as stated is linked to itunes and cannot play movie files.
    Overall this sounds like you need to think it out a bit more.

  • Is it possible to set up a document larger than my printer is able to print in Indesign?

    I have a printer that prints no larger than A3 but need to create an A1 document which I will get printed elsewhere.
    In changing the page sizes, Indesign only gives me the size options that are compatible with my printer. Is it possible to create a document larger than these sizes?
    Jack

    Do you mean the default list of page sizes that appears in the New Document dialog? Well, you are absolutely not limited to just those values. Just type in any width and height in the fields directly below the drop down list.
    To quickly get the correct values for A1, select "A3" size -- the Width and Height fields change to the correct values for this -- then type in "*2" in each of the fields and "enter" this using the Tab key, rather than pressing Enter.

  • Hi I have two questions. I am using NAS 4.1 and was wondering is it possible to set a different session timeout for different users? How is the session timeout set? Thanks, YS

     

    <i>I am using NAS 4.1 and was wondering is it possible to set a different session timeout for different users?</i>
    Um, there is no such thing as NAS4.1.
    I'm assuming that you mean NAS4.0 (maybe NAS4.0sp1?). If so, then the session timeouts are specified in the session section of the NTV configuration files.
    AFAIK, you can specify session timeouts on a per user basis.

  • Is it possible to set up multiple iTunes accounts on a single computer?

    is it possible to set up multiple iTunes accounts on a single computer?

    If you do it with a single user account, you will receive update notifications for purchase made on both IDs regardless of which one you're using at the time.  That's slightly frustrating as you get the notification BUT you can't actually update!  In any event, separate user accounts on the computer is the cleaner way to go.

  • My daughter and I have separate iCloud accounts set up on out desktop PCs and our iPhones and iPads. We want to share the usage of a Win 8 laptop and will log in using using separate user accounts. Is it possible to set up our own iCloud accounts?

    My daughter and I have separate iCloud accounts set up on out desktop PCs and our iPhones and iPads. We want to share the usage of a Win 8 laptop and will log in using using separate user accounts. Is it possible to set up our own iCloud accounts in each of those separate user accounts?

    No it is not possible.  Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

  • Is it possible to set up a HP Scanjet 8200 series (8290 with ADF) Intel Mac

    Is it possible to set up a HP Scanjet 8200 series (8290 with automatic document feeder) on the new Intel based Mac Pro desktop computer (nehalem 2.93 dual processors, 8 core)? Can anyone please steer me in the right direction -- I tried one of the drivers from the HP website and the install reflected that it does not work on intel based computers. Does OS X Leopard come with some type of utility to help me set up the scanner (I don't see where to set it up)? Thanks.

  • Is it possible to set up a backup between two external drives

    Is it possible to set up a backup between two external drives?
    i use time machine to back up my imac onto an external 2T.
    i also have two external 3T drives.  i am looking for redundancy of data, tried software RAID and it failed.  i also see some limitations with RAID that a backup would avoid.
    thanks for sharing your expertise.
    be well,
    tony

    so thanks to all of you, particularly rkaufmann87 i have decided to stop the plan of setting up a software RAID set.  instead i have downloaded ccc and am in the process of setting up the secone 3t external drive as a clone.  i will use time machine to back up the internal hard drive only and if possible see if i can clone that as well onto one of the 3t's.
    this gives me the peace of mind i sounght and avoids the problem of total corruption that exists with the raid solution i was exploring.
    thank you all for making this an enjoyable and informative experience.  what a powerful community.
    be well

  • ThreadOpt values - is it possible to set them and what are the ranges?

    Hi there,
    I have a problem on my TestStand 4.2 platform, with test step result, formed and received from called external sequences results. In my Main sequence, in Post-Expression I defined condition, according to which the "Step.Result.Status" is passed or failed, and it works. But the problem is that in Status Expression field there is following statement: "(Step.Result.Status == "Done" && (Step.TS.SData.ThreadOpt == 0 || Step.TS.SData.ThreadOpt == 3)) ? "Passed" : Step.Result.Status". After deep search in the user manual, I found that (Note from "Expression Tab - Step Properties Dialog Box"): "Certain types of steps, such as Numeric Limit Tests, Multiple Numeric Limit Tests, String Value Tests, Pass/Fail Tests, and Statement steps, reserve one or more of these expressions to perform operations specific to the type of step or a substep performs the operation. In these cases, you cannot use the expressions the step type reserves, which appear dimmed on the tab." 
    Now, my problem is that at this specific step I call to an external sequence, which returns results and it is correct, but if these results, compared to expected are not the same, my step in the main sequence fails. Which is OK. But when the final report is generated I see there "Number of Tests Failed: 0", which is not OK. Since I can't change the "Step.Result.Status == Done", which comes from the external sequence, I thought that may be there is a place to change the "Step.TS.SData.ThreadOpt" and this way to cause to main sequence to correctly report "Failed Tests <> 0"??? 
    Does anyone has an idea whether it is possible to set this the ThreadOpt value and what is the accepted range?
    Your feedbacks and inputs are highly appreciated.

    Hello Doug,
      I didn't think I was modifying any hidden properties.  It's just configuring a sequence call step when you add it to the sequence.  The "Execution Options" are clearly shown in a dropdown menu on the Module tab.  I was just pointing out that this seems to be what sets the ThreadOpt variable.  
    GSinMN
    Maybe I misunderstood. When you said "My normal process is to set it to 1, but based on this info, it needs to be either set to None or Use Remote Computer if you want anything other than "Done" to be returned." I thought you meant that you were setting the property directly rather than setting your sequence call steps to "New Thread" with the combobox.

  • Possible to set a default column value to an expression?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to set a default column name to an expression when creating a table?
    For example, I wish to set the default value of a column to read from another table's column and do some arithmetic....is this possible?
    Thanks.

    Yes, you can, with trigger Before Insert for Each row
    But be carefull, you can hit the mutating table problem...

  • Is it possible to set a default music player for the music on my external hard drive while still keeping my iTunes the default player on my Mac ?

    Is it possible to set a default music player for the music on my external while still keeping my iTunes the default player on my Mac ?
    Message was edited by: Pellseidon

    There is no setting in the iPhone to set another default music player. The default is Music. If you are using another application, you are at the mercy of how that application operates as far as what occurs when it stops or errors out. The car is looking for music to play.

  • Is it possible to set up a bootable external hard drive

    Is it possible to set up an external hard drive by copying my system folders, etc from my Ibook to my firewire drive??? If not is there a way to do it w./o the system DVD

    Hi matthew,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    Yes, it is possible, but you need certain devices and software. You cannot create a bootable external device with drag&drop only.
    In order to get a bootable hard disk you have to buy a firewire disk (USB is not a bootable inteerface with MacOS X). Then you have to make a bootable clone from your internal hard disk to the external. You can use backup utilities such as Carbon Copy Cloner to achieve this.

  • When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF?

    When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF? Currently when I have a Framemaker book that I want to save as a PDF, I choose Save Book As and then choose PDF for the file format. A dialog box comes up in which I can choose the Bookmarks tab and choose which tagged content I want to be made into bookmarks in the PDF file. What if I would rather have the filename of a document rather than the chapter title be a bookmark in the PDF? Is that possible? Where would I choose that option? Thanks!

    There are two ways that you could do this. You can either use postscript text frames and enter the correct pdfmark entries to show the file name with the corresponding actions (i.e. where to go in the PDF) or you can use hidden text in FM and the "Filename (Short) " variable in a unique paratag to be picked up by FM's bookmark creation.
    To go the pdfmark route, see http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/pdfmark_primer.pdf for details and also consult the Adobe Pdfmark Reference manual (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdfmark_reference.pdf).
    The hidden text route would use FM's Color Views to specify a colour as Invisible. This will make the content visually disappear from the screen (and any output), but FM will still be able to read the contents of any text that is coloured with the Invisible colour(s).
    1. Pick or create a colour that you want to be invisible. [Magenta is usually a good bet and stands out visually].
    2. Set that colour to be invisible in View 1 and visible in View 6. [you can use the shortcut <esc> v 1 and <esc> v 6 to toggle between the views.]
    3. Create a paratag to use for the filename and set the font colour to use the invisible colour.
    3. In the title of each chapter file, drop an anchored frame that is set to be outside of the text frame [so it won't interfere with any other content].
    4. In that AFrame, insert a text frame and use the invisible paratag defined in step 3.
    5. Insert the Filename (Short) variable in that text frame.
    6. Repeat steps for all files to be included in the bookmarks.
    When creating the PDF bookmarks, select only the paratag used for the invisible colour.
    Don't forget to toggle the View to be invisible (i.e. <esc> v 1  - this also works at the book level for all files in the book).

  • It should be possible to set default behavior for all file types

    It should be possible to set a default action for all file types. I'm so tired of having to manually sit and say "save this file" because Firefail always defaults to "open with" and has disabled the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
    And spare me the zealotry religious excuses for why its the fault of websites and not Firefail

    I do want users to have full control to be able to set any folder view they want by using Apply to Folders; I just want to set the initial/default view to Detail because that matches what the majority of my users want.
    That is, what registry setting changes when I go to a picture folder, change the view to Detail, and click Apply to Folders? Having done that, I still retain the ability to change it to some other view and apply that to folders. But what registry setting
    represents the change I just made when applying Detail view to all Picture folders.?
    This settings is simple via GUI, but it is related a lot of registry keys, I made a test in my machine, capture the "Apply to Folders" process using Regshot tool (this is a small tool which can compare the regsitry changes after you change some
    settings), and this is the result:
    this is part of the registry changes, a plenty of registry keys and values need to be changed. hard to list them here. if you have interests, I recommend the tool Regshot, it can help you capture the regsitry changes.
