K80 Director with Windows 8.1

I just bought a used K80 OfficeJet. It appears to be working OK using the front panel controls but I'd like to be able to operate it from my PC.
My operating system is Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Is there a Director software app available to do this and, if so, where can I get it?
This question was solved.

HI dafaddah,
Thank you for being a member of the HP Support Forums. I gather that you would like to learn if there is a full feature software and Windows 8.1 driver available for the Officejet K80 printer.
I’m sorry to say that there is not a full feature driver for Windows 8.1. I have included the Install a Windows 8 Driver with Windows Update document. It will walk you through installing the printer driver available with Windows 8.1. It will also explain what limitations there are when using the Windows 8.1 driver.

Reader X integration with Windows Explorer and protected mode

Hello all.
I'm having some problems with Adobe Reader X under Windows 7 and it seems that I need to disable protected mode. I disabled it by unchecking the related option in edit-preferences, also I created the registry key for the local user (bProtectedMode = 0).
After doing that, the protected mode seems to be disables when I open pdf documents with Reader X, but it's still enabled when previewing documents thumbnails in windows explorer. The issue is that when I open a folder containing pdf files and left click or right click them, two AcroRd32.exe processes spawn and it seems to me that it's a protected mode behaviour (broker process + sandboxed renderer process).
I'd like to know if it's possible to fully disable protected mode so that it remains disabled even when I'm navigating directories with Windows Explorer and documents are previewed. My current Adobe Reader version is 10.1.3.
Thank you very much.

Hi Fernando,
Here's a statement that hopefully helps or at least solves your mystery:
While Protected Mode can be disabled for PDFs viewed with the product, Adobe continues to protect you when 3rd party software invokes a Reader process; that is, Protected Mode sandboxing cannot be disabled for shell extensions. For example, when you use Windows Explorer to preview a PDF in the Preview Pane, it starts a Reader process to display the preview. In such cases, Task Manager shows that two AcroRd32.exe processes spawn and that the operation is occurring with Protected Mode enabled.

HP Director software needed for new computer with windows 8

I have a Deskjet 5510 and went from Windows XP to a new computer with Windows 8 (64 bit). The driver installed when I plugged the printer in, but I haven't been able to find HP Director to install. I tried to do an install from the website, but it just told me that the driver was already installed correctly. The Director is a pretty important piece of the printer, can I get it back?

Hi, due to the age of the printer HP does not support 5510 in Win8.
Take a look at this link for further info & workarounds.

Backup windows directories with password

I have been asked to setup a time capsule with Windows Vista clients. The investors need to have password protection on their directories only.
What is the best way to accomplish this?

You will want to select the "With accounts" option on the File Sharing tab within the AirPort Utility.
With this option, on partitions formatted with HFS+, you can set up individual accounts with unique user names and passwords, each with different levels of access. These accounts are not the same as either OS X or Windows User accounts. User access options can be set to "Read and Write," "Read Only," and "Not Allowed."
The Investors would then mount the share by clicking Network on the Windows desktop or within the Start menu. The base station name should appear within the Network browser window. Double-clicking will open a prompt window in which they would enter their account name & password for the share.

[SOLVED] Share Multiple Directories With Samba On Arch Linux and XP

Hello,
I have had the worst luck so far with Samba, which is far more likely because of an error on my part than on Samba's.
I can only seem to share one directory regardless of how I setup my smb.conf. And worse yet, if I mess with Samba, smb.conf, after the first time I set it up it doesn't work again until I reinstall my OS. Now I'm sure that reinstalling isn't the only option, but I haven't figured out how to make it work again any other way. I've tried uninstalling it, deleting it from the cache, deleting /etc/samba and so on, still can't connect to it from XP when I reinstall it.
I'm running Arch64 and I want to share some directories with a laptop running Windows XP.
I want to share my home folder, but have it accessible from XP only by me, share my mother's home folder, and have it accessible on XP only by her (well actually I guess it needs to be accessible by both, since i'm the admin), share my media-server (a collection of five hard drives where I store movies and such), and have it read/write by both of us. And finally share /srv so I can work on that from the XP computer as well. I think that's all. And I would like to share printers between the two computers. I would also like to access XP files from here.
I've always been able to get the media-server to share, but that's it, nothing else. And it doesn't always work right. It doesn't seem to want to follow sym links, but like I say if I mess with it it will stop working all together. So I'm not sure what to do.
A thought was to instead make a /media/samba-share directory and share that, and inside it have symlinks to my home, media-server, etc. However, that will only work if samba will follow symlinks for me.
Here is the smb.conf I am planning to use at the moment:
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
# For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba,
# read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. This may be obtained from:

# Samba-Guide which is generated daily and can be downloaded from:

Well it seems that my trouble all started when I began using the 'printable = yes' option for shares. Since I removed that the troubles seem to have left me.
Does anyone know why that is listed as on option in smb.conf here:
# A publicly accessible directory, but read only, except for people in
# the "staff" group
;[public]
; comment = Public Stuff
; path = /home/samba
; public = yes
; writable = yes
; printable = no
; write list = @staff
As well as in a few other examples if it doesn't work? I seen the example and assumed that option was needed to print from those shared directories.
Also, it seems that the comma is not needed between the 'valid users' names.
Also, I guess it wasn't Windows XP's fault either but rather my own ignorance. I like the idea of blaming Windows better though.....
I hope this servers to help others to aviod my mistakes.

Dual Boot with Windows Vista

Hi
I am a complete n00b with Mac. The director at my company requested me to set up her MacBook (running Mac OSX 10.4.11) to dualboot with Windows Vista 32 bit. I have been searching Google and I cannot find anything.
Can someone please run me through what I'll need and how exactly to do it?
Thank you in advance

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Check out the BootCamp set up guide before installing Windows on a Mac.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/bootcampinstall-setup.pdf
As Kurt mentions... you must be running Leopard 10.5.x to do this.

Lync Server 2010 conference not working with Windows 8.1 and IE 10

Hello,
The problem is that whenever a Windows 8.1 user tries to join a Lync server 2010 conference using Internet Explorer 10 (or 11, tried that too) the user can't join the conference. If the conference is created by a Lync server 2013 user joining works fine.
When using Lync 2010 client we get the following error in the client: "error id 87 source id 7".
When using Lync 2013 client we end up with a blank conversation window.
There are no traces in server log, client log or event log.
Below is a set of use cases that may help you to understand what is the problem scenario. Each of these works or does not work with both Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 client.
- Lync server 2010 conference, windows 7, Chrome, Firefox, IE 10 or 11 --> Works.
- Lync server 2010 conference, windows 8.1, IE 10 or 11 --> Does not work.
- Lync server 2010 conference, windows 8.1, Chrome or Firefox --> Works.
- Lync server 2013 conference, windows 8.1, Chrome, Firefox, IE 10 or 11 --> Works.
It does not help to add the meet address to IE compatibility list (Compatibility View Settings).
If i press F12 in IE and change the document mode of the meet page to IE 9 version then i can join meetings with Windows 8.1 and IE 10. Unfortunately i cannot make that as a default setting for the meet website.
Any ideas on how to get Lync server 2010 meetings working with Windows 8.1 and IE 10 or 11?
IE is the company default browser. Windows 8.1 is not a default operating system but we have increasing number of Windows 8.1 computers in our environment (mainly directors).

According to your description, it is hard to tell whether the issue is related with IE or Lync Server 2010 or both.
Compare the log when Lync client on Window 8.1 with IE 10 or IE 11 join Lync server 2010 conferencing and Lync Server 2013 conferencing.

Adobe XI not working with windows 7.

Since installing Adobe XI (11.0.03) when I open an exiting or new pdf on my laptop I get the message: Adobe Reader A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
I uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I followed the instructions on the Adobe web site. Nothing is working and I need to be able to do my work. How can I get Adobe X so I can install that older version. Can't find it on the Adobe website. HELP!!

OK point taken.
But let's not go into semantics here.
Fact was I had a perfectly working Adobe Reader X on my PC with windows 7
After an automatic upgrade to Adobe Reader XI , I am no longer able to open any pdf.
And after uninstalling XI and reinstalling X, the problem remains...
So somewhere along the line a piece of software has been installed, that remains even after uninstalling, and affects the previous Reader version when reinstalled.
I am no computer expert, I am an end user.
My thought is : program developers at Adobe probably know in which directories software is installed when you download an upgrade.
Like MWNZ suggested : when you change a name in a directory which can be the cause of the bug, the bug might be neutralised.
I thought it was a valuable suggestion, I tried it, but unfortunately without result.
But at least he gave a suggestion to a solution
Given the fact that the bug remains, even after uninstalling XI and reinstalling X ( which perfectly worked before !) , people more knowledgeable then me on the field of software, might have ideas or suggestions where to look for the bug.
That's my point
But the fact still remains : windows 7 and adobe reader XI is not a happy marriage.
I'm really not interested in pointing fingers here, I just would be most happy with any solution that allows me to open pdf's again.

Labview 2012 Installer builder issues with Windows 7 64 bit

I have a clients project application program I am working on and am having a lot of trouble getting installed applications to work on Windows 7 properly. The Labview Installer sets the default installation directory to "c:\Program Files\" on Windows Xp and on Windows 7 64bit this defaults to "C:\Program Files (x86). When I install the application on Windows 7 and run it, because Windows 7 64 bit unreasonably protects this directory and every folder under it, if you try to write file to any subdirectory under it (like a reports directory), windows 7 will not let the file write to the directory and the file(s) disappear and you get permission errors. This has been difficult to address. Even logging in as administrator, I have difficulty changing the folder permissions. In addition, when I am in the file write process, if the default directory is coded to come up in the file Open/Save dialog, will not properly
go to and display these protected directories. So thinking that OK, I'll just chage the install directory to something direct to the C: drive and not the Program Files (x86) directory, so I have better control of the folder permissions. Now the Installer build gives errors. It built, but the install fails. Looks like National did not test this for Windows 7 very well. I have run into just about every issue possible with Windows 7 and Labview. Clearly Labview was not very well tested with Windows 7 6 bit. I do not have the Internet toolkit added to the application, only the VISA 5.2 driver. Anyone else having application issues with Labview and Windows 7 and have ideas how to work around this??

BuildErrors.txt ‏11 KB

It's no NI's fault and has nothing to do with 64 Bit either. It is something MS changed starting with Vista, namely tightening security of the whole system to a similar level as was usual on more professional OSes like Unix 20 years earlier. A user has not rights anymore to write into the location where applications are installed. This is for one reason to protect installed applications from being modified by malicious code.
Instead every application should write its runtime data in one of the user writable loacations such as the user's Documents directory for data files, or in the user's or the machine's configuration directory for configuration settings. For single installations you could always set the directory which your application got installed into to be user writable by changing the rights of that directory afterwards but for applications that get installed on normal user computers this is a VERY hacky and discouraged move. Same about installing your application into the root of your system drive. I think it was an oversight by MS to not protect that directory too from user modifications, but was most likely unavoidable to allow DOS application installations to still work.
LabVIEW has functions to retrieve a whole bunch of those preconfigured and user writeable locations and you really should change your application to make use of those locations, instead of trying to write into the installation directory or installing the application into the root location of the system drive, if you want to be compatible with Windows Vista/7/8.
Windows 7 also requires for a number of actions such as installing programs or drivers so called elevated rights. This means that even if you are logged in as administrator you have to explicitedly provide the admin password again to be able to perform the action. This can be done by starting the program as administrator, when this is available in the right click pop-up menu, and is also sometimes done automatically for applications that Windows determines to need those rights such as setup programs for installations.

Files with "alien" names in directories with very long path names

Hi all,
first of all - I dont know if this is the right forum for my Question,
but I could not find any better ;-)
I have a problem with some files with "alien" names with MIXED characters from different foreign countries
(e.g. "Φέτα (τυρί) 只有沙盒或您的用户页可以用作測試ורת המבחנים בחינוך פור.txt").
Sometimes - whenn those files are exists in a directory with a very long path name,
then the windows api fails to handle these files.
For example GetFileAttributesW() returns error 2
and ntQueryDirectoryFile does not return this file in the list (etc. pp.)
I have this behaviour not with other files in those directories (e.g. "abc.txt")
and also not when those names are a little bit shorter
or the directorys name is not too long.
So I guess, there is a bug either in the API or in the file system...?!
I know that such a file name is a generic one,
but I have a situation where I have to handle any file with any name -
even in directories with very long path names...
So please no suggestions like "use shorter paths" or "convert it to a short name"....
thx in advance and Best regards,
dp.

How to create logical directories with same name on two databases

Hi,
OS: Windows
Oracle Version : 10g
I have to databases in one oracle home. I have created some logical directories in one database. When I am trying to create logical directories with same name in another database, it is overwriting the first database directory paths with the second one
Can't we create directories with same name but different path in two databases on one machine?
Pls suggest me on this
Regards,
Vijay

I am trying to create logical directory using CREATE
DIRECTORY statement. I am very much aware that the
create directory statement doesn't create directory
on OS. But we can attach the physical directory on OS
to logical directory in oracle
My requirement is to create logical directories in
oracle mapping the OS directories. Both the
databases, wil have same logical directory names but
different OS directory mappingsIf I understand you correctly, you can do this:
On DB 1
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY same_dir_name as 'C:\myoracle\mydir1';
On DB 2
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY same_dir_name as 'D:\myoracle\mydir2';
What stops you from doing that ?
Note: If what you have is one database but different connections, then you are connecting to one database. The above second statement will drop and replace with the first one

Open Director with specific panel set

Hi,
It is possible to set the default configuration of Director?
In other words it is possible open Director with specific panel set?
If yes how?
Thanks.

1. First, get the layout you want.
2. Go to
Edit > Preferences > General....
3. Click the checkbox - Save Window Positions On Exit.
4. Exit Director.
5. Open Director and go back to the General Preferences and uncheck the Save Windows Position property.
Now when you close Director, it won't save the positions and will used the last saved setup.

Serving Directories with Authentication via Apache

Yep, it really is that simple but it's driving me nuts.
We are setting up an xserve to serve customer data (directories with HTML pages). I'd like to be able to set up a folder for each customer, have them hit our server via http, be challenged for a username and password, and be able to view and browse thier folder contents.
I've poked around in server admin most of the day (spending a lot of time trying to set up realms with no luck), looked at the Web Technologies Administration document (following directions on page 43 with no luck), browsed the web and this forum and still don't see how I might do this.
Suggestions on where to look or specific advice would be greatly appreciated and sorry if this is so galactically simple and/or discussed an infinite number of times.
xerve g5 & others Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Welcome to discussions!
Server Admin does a pretty good job of making simple things hard, doesn't it? The only thing more useless is the performance cache.
Probably the easiest way, unless you have a VERY high volume server, to do what you want would be .htaccess files. In each of the folders that you want basic authentication for it's contents, create a folder with the name .htaccess . In .htaccess the following:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "What you want to appear in the popup window"
AuthUserFile /path/to/a/file/that/has/name/passwds
require valid-user
Check out the man page for htpasswd. It will help you make a name/password file for your .htaccess file to reference.

Problem with windows not liking any files named prn

I recently found a problem with windows not liking any files
called prn.html, prn.cfm etc etc. If you try and create a file like
prn.html then it will say "File already exists".
I initially thought it was a Cold Fusion error as I was
getting some bizarre error messages when trying to write prn.html
using cffile.
Does anyone know a work around for it?

Hi,
Not only "prn" but also for the terms like "AUX", "NUL" you
can't create any directories or files in Windows because these are
reserved terms with Windows which is meant for some device
drivers...

Roaming Profile Not Syncing with Windows XP Clients

I'm running an XServe with 10.4.8 as a PDC, with some XP systems authenticating to it. I don't have problems logging in or viewing the user's profile, but any files saved to the desktop are no longer accessible at the next login. If I create a file and store it in the user's profile desktop directory on the file server, the file does appear on the desktop the next time the user logs in. The profiles are stored on a Linux server running SMB, as are the home directories, which work fine. I'm not sure where to be looking to solve this.

Beginning with Windows XP SP2, Microsoft has disabled Basic authentication by default in an effort to increase security. Unfortunately their Digest authentication is broken so you can't connect using that authentication scheme either.
The following link shows you how to edit the registry to add a key in Windows XP to enable Basic authentication which will allow you to connect a Windows XP client to a Mac OS X Server using WebDAV.

From that page:
You can enable BasicAuth by adding the following registry key and setting it to a non-zero value:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet\Services \WebClient\Parameters\UseBasicAuth (DWORD)
To restore the default behaviour:
If you delete the registry key or set it to 0, the behavior reverts to the default, or disabling the use of BasicAuth.
