Is there any workaround for the brother driver 2.8 update which seems to remove duplexing

It seems the brother printer 2.8 update of 12/14 has removed the ability to print in a duplex mode - i.e. both sides of a sheet. Printing proceeds in the usual fashion and the printer goes through the mechanics to print both sides, but doesn't and outputs the remainder on a second sheet. It is definitely the update as I have another machine which I, thankfully, did not update and that works fine with the same printer.
I tried to go back in Time Machine, but it isn't obvious what to restore and, so far, my attempts to do haven't been successful.

After a bit of experimenting it turns out that somehow the update either defaults to a CUPS definition that causes this weird behavior or the old profile tigether with the update is problematic. It I download the current drivers at Brother and change to Brother HL-5250DN BR-Script 3 all is well.

  • Any workarounds for the X11 apps segmentation faults on intel with 10.4.8 ?

    Hi,
    We've an X11 application, compiled for PPC, which runs fine with a G5 iMac on 10.4.8. However, it crashes with a segmentation fault on a MacBook Pro with 10.4.8 (running through Rosetta).
    Searching the web, we found that this seems to be a widespread problem for X11 apps running on Intel Macs with 10.4.8.
    Has this been submitted as an important bug to Apple?
    Are there any workarounds for it?
    Is the problem specific to PPC-only builds, or does it also happen with Universal builds?
    Thank you for any hints you could give about this,
    cesar
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    A powerpc-binary program running under Rosetta can only load powerpc-binary modules...can't cross in and out of emulation within a single process. Perhaps your program is trying to load a module from X11 that is present as an intel-only binary? Rosetta is certainly no future-looking cure-all, just a stop-gap to allow one to keep using older stuff, and it is kinda fragile sometimes. If your target audience is both powerpc and intel machines, compile as a universal binary so it's native for everyone.

  • Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords?

    Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords?  i.e. will Apple loops follow the chord progression in a track?

    I found sort of a work around.  I still have Logic Pro 9.  It turns out that if you go into global tracks, analyze the chords then go back to logic pro x the chord progression is preserved.  So the information is preserved there just seems no way to create it in X.

  • Any workarounds for the 2880 pixel size limit?

    I have a client that would like a Flash animation that's 5440
    pixels wide, to span 3 widescreen monitors for a tradeshow
    presentation. Flash won't let me make the stage any bigger than
    2880 - does anyone know any ways around that limit?
    I Googled it and found out that you used to be able to scale
    the SWF beyond 2880 in an HTML file, and it would show well using
    Flash Player 7, but apparently that trick no longer works in
    Players 8+.
    Any other ways to make a single SWF that can span 3 large
    monitors?
    Thanks in advance,
    - Frank

    The problem here is the legacy flash document size constraint of 2880 x 2880 pixels. Why is this limitation still in place? Most screen have landscape orientation and we have this square constraint that turns out to be a waste if you are developing for larger screen displays and anything that is 4:3 or 16:9. Something does not add up here. What if someone needs to make a dual wide screen HD show that measured 3840 x 1080 pixels? We can do setup documents at 3840 x 1080 pixels in PowerPoint, PDF, Silverlight (at least this is what I have read regarding Silverlight), but not in Flash. Why not?
    If Flash is a platform… then it needs to spread its wings a bit and embrace all the potential uses that are non-web. Flash represents multimedia delivery to millions, but shackling it to the 2880 x 2880 pixel limitation for a document size is problem for many people now and looming for those working toward have the flash engine as a core component in media delivery. At least give us a dual Wide screen monitor resolution of 3840 x 1080 pixels instead of a square of 2880 x 2880 pixels – which no one really uses (at least I have not seen any sqaure screens lately). Hey, if Adobe decided to shave off on the unused pixels from the 2880 height (2880 – 1080 = 1800) of the format you get an additional 1800 pixels that could applied where it is needed – to the width of the document size… giving us a 4680 x 1080 pixel document. This could then be used for immersive simulation, game situations, and real-world wide-screen experiences.
    Sorry I don't have an answer, just the same question. "Any workarounds for the 2880 pixel size limit?"

  • Is there any workaround for Bug 6644652 ?

    Hi
    This issue is documented in DBAppTables GTC Connector at Known issues:
    "Bug 6644652
    Reconciliation of account deletion is not supported. In other words, if a record is
    deleted from the target database, then this deletion is not reconciled into Oracle
    Identity Manager"
    Is there any workaround that can be used ?
    Thank You in advanced,
    Ionut

    EHLO!
    Today I ALMOST finalized my delete-recon (is for AD objects, but I think it may work in many contexts). As the pals said, you have to use the createDeleteReconciliationEvent method from the operations API.
    I had a big problem: I spent a day looking for a NullPointerException that was raised just when this method is called. I realized that there is not a problem itself, the exception was raised because I was launching from the Eclipse project! So, instead of develop all the stuff and then pass it to OIM, I had to maje the jar, put it into the ScheduleTask folder, and execute it with the Task Scheduler from the Design Console, or from the Admin Console.
    For a brief:
    1) make a class that extends com.thortech.xl.scheduler.tasks.SchedulerBaseTask
    2) implement the execute() method
    3) for creating the operator, you can call (tcReconciliationOperationsIntf)getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcReconciliationOperationsIntf") (getUility is inherited from SchedulerBaseTask)
    4) Make some Map object, with key/value pairs. Keys have to be the same as they appear in the Reconciliation Fields of the Resource Object, and at least you have to put the required ones. Call the method, the first parameter is a String with the RO ("Xellerate User", "AD User", "Exchange", etc).
    For example, you can make something like this:
                   HashMap hm = new HashMap();
                   hm.put("User ID", "drldap");
                   hm.put("objectGUID", "12345679");
                   try {
                        reconOps.createDeleteReconciliationEvent("AD User", hm);
                   catch(Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace(System.out);
    Hope it was helpful. Enjoy!

  • Is there any workaround for exporting 24 bit AAF of OMF in soundtrack?

    Hi
    Soundtrack pro seems to have only 16bit AAF export function. Is there any workaround to be able to export a multitrack session in higher bit (24bit industry standard) resolution, in AAF or OMF format?
    I know Final Cut has 24bit AAF export funcion, but sending clips from soundtrack to Final Cut seems not possible. Only sending mastermixes to FC is possible. But I want to send individual clips to FC.
    Or any other suggestions are welcome for solving this problem.
    Thanks!

    If Premiere offers you the option to use hardware encoding, then your card is recognized. There is normally nothing more to do.  If I understand you correctly, you are concerned that Premiere is not using the card.  There are 2 ways to check if it is:
    1. Install someting like GPU-Z (google it, it's free) to monitor the GPU. Start to encode something that will actually use CUDA cores, and you should see some activity reported, given as a percentage.  Keep in mind that CUDA is only used for some specific tasks (some effects, resizing) when encoding.
    2. Export a file that will use CUDA when encoding 2 times, once with hardware encoding enabled, and then with software only. Is there a difference in the time needed to complete the export?

  • Are there any workarounds for multiple PDF files created for a single Word 2011 document?

    I am running...
    Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
    Word for Mac 2011
    Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.0
    I am working with 100 plus page Word documents that go back and forth between portrait and landscape layouts. When I attempt to create an Acrobat PDF document (or one using the native Mac PDF function), I end up with 10 to 15 separate PDF documents. One person suggested that I simple stitch them together, which is an inordinate amount of work as compared to how simple it is do on my PC with older versions of Acrobat and Word. However, I have noticed that the margins are way off and the pagination is off sometimes too. So even this workaround is not the answer. I last talked to Microsoft, Apple, and Acrobat tech support about five weeks ago. Each blaming the other two but saying they were working together to solve the problem. My recent searches of forums has not revealed any solutions nor have updates changed anything.
    As I am anticipating the day when my old PC stops working, I am searching for a possible workaround or other solution for this problem.

    Thanks for your reply.
    The tip-off may be this.  In Word 2007 on my pc when I print the document to a printer, Word generates 1 print file for the entire document. If I print to PDF, one print file is generated by Word and Acrobat creates a PDF from this file.
    What I just discovered by accident was that when Word for Mac 2011 prints the same Word document to a printer it creates about 10 different print files.  So instead of a 100 page PDF document I end up with 10 PDF documents of 1 to 30 pages depending where the page orientation shifts in the Word document. If you print to a printer that is not turned on, you can see all of the files stacked up in the printer queue. I suspect that Word for Mac 2011 generates 10 different print files during the PDF creation process and therefore Acrobat logically creates 10 different PDFs.  Unfortunately, there are margin errors and other layout errors in these 10 different PDFs so stitching them together is useless.
    I am beginning to think that the way Word for Mac 2011 prints documents is simply incompatabile to Acrobat or the PDF creator that is native to the Mac OS.
    I just think that this is a problem that Microsoft is going to have to fix.

  • FR Studio - Is there a workaround for the issue with referencing data from a grid with a different DB connection and different # of dimensions?

    Hi,
    I am trying to reference a column in a different grid with a different database connection. I did some research in the forums, and it seems like this is a known issue with FR Studio. The issue is that if the 2 different database connections have different # of dimensions, then the reference will throw an error.
    For example, what I'm trying to do is below:
    In grid2.column[A], I have the following formula:
    grid1.column[A]
    The result is an error.
    The ultimate goal is to have a basic variance formula in the grid between grid1 and grid2, which have different database connections with a different # of dimensions. Is there a workaround at all to this bug? The example of the basic formula is below:
    grid1.column[A] - grid2.column[A] 
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Tiffany

    Thanks for the detailed response Mike.
    The issue with trying it in Grid1 vs Grid2 is that Grid1's DB connection has more dimensions than Grid2's DB connection. I can't change the DB connection to a database with more dimensions because you have to be able to map all dimensions from the existing DB connection  (Grid1) to the new DB connection (Grid2). This isn't possible, so instead I have to map Grid2 (less dimensions) to Grid1 (more dimensions). It just ignores the extra dimensions from Grid1. Does that make sense?
    Thanks again for your responses. It's very much appreciated.

  • Is there a workaround for the thumbnail regeneration issue in CS5?

    Hullo.
    A friend uses my old version of CS5 and she is stuck with ACR 6.7, because this is the last version available in CS5.
    She seems to have huge problems in Bridge with the thumbnail regeneration bug described here, for instance: Cropping to an edge confuses Adobe Bridge?
    Concretely, although she has a relatively powerful machine, she is unable to work because there are always tens and tens of thumbnails being generated and her eight virtual cores completely fill the disk bandwidth, making Bridge impossible to use. I am not 100% sure that it is exactly this bug, but everything seems to correspond perfectly well: hundreds of DNG files with lens correction activated and very many cropped manually.
    Now, this is a confirmed bug of ACR 6.7 until ACR 8.2. She cannot switch to the latter without purchasing a newer version of Photoshop/Bridge.
    Does Adobe provide any fix for this bug in CS5? Could someone kindly point me to it? Her version of Bridge is simply unusable as is....
    If the answer above is no, I would be interested to know if this seems legal (not to say ethical...) to anybody: she is (otherwise) pretty happy with CS5 and she would need to buy a new licence for the sole and exclusive reason that the product Adobe sold me has a known and proven bug which makes it virtually useless in her setting.
    Thanks,
    p.

    There are two similar bugs:
    The LPC+crop bug started with ACR 6.1 and was fixed in 8.2.
    The LPC mystery bug started with ACR 7.3 and was fixed in 8.6.
    Both bugs cause repeated thumbnail extractions in Bridge on some images with Lens Profile Corrections enabled.
    As you are on ACR 6.7 it can only be the first bug. The only workaround I know is to ensure that the crop does not touch the edge of the corrected image. A few pixels gap will do it. Also, it helps to keep less images in a folder--but this can't be avoided when using Collections or Finds.
    I'd imagine that Adobe won't fix CS5 just for this. Presumably there's something in the smallprint which admonishes them from responsibility after the shelf life of the product ends. To be fair, it's not like they fixed it straight away in CS6, unlike the Bridge CS5 database bug (thanks, Adobe). They were only able to reproduce the fault in summer 2013.

  • Is there any workaround for log LNs in read-only env. UNEXPECTED_STATE

    I'm at 5.0.43 and encounter the same problem mentioned in The Berkeley DB Java Edition Package: BDB JE Library Version  11.2.5.0 (Release 5.0.55) Change Log
    Fixed a bug that caused an exception such as the following, when opening an Environment in read-only mode. This occurred under certain circumstances when a clean shutdown (final checkpoint) was not performed when the Environment was last used by a read-write process.
    I have below 2 questions:
    1) I want to know if there's any workaround to this problem without having to upgrade BDB-JE.
    2) Just want to make sure we will not have data compatible issue if we have to upgrade to the latest version
    Thanks for your help.

    This is a transient problem when opening in read-only mode.  It does not cause corruption or a compatibility issue.
    If you open the environment read-write and perform a normal shutdown (Environment.close), then it should be possible to open the environment read-only again.
    However, it is possible that it could happen again if the read-write process exits without calling Environment.close.  The only way to guarantee it won't happen again is to always call Environment.close in the read-write process before opening it read-only, or upgrade to the latest version of JE 5.

  • Is there any alternative for Mac google drive?

    Hi,
    just like many people here, i had numerous problems with Google drive over those 2 last years. i was looking for a reliable solution that work with PC and MAC.
    Unfortunately Icloud is too locked up and we cannot easily drag and drop files to it just like for a google drive folder.
    do you have any suggestions to replace Google drive on Mavericks?
    I need something that will not make my mac unstable and will do its job.
    Thank you.

    I use Dropbox since a few weeks and it works very reliable. You can drag and drop files to the Dropbox folder and you can also direct open files in a program.
    By the way, iCloud also has its own directory on the Mac. It is under the user directory in
    Library/Mobile Documents/
    In this directory there is a subdirectory for every app you have with iCloud. They have some odd names, but you can recognize whcih app uses which directory. So you can drag and drop with iCloud too.
