LaserJet 200 M276nw works for a week or so then starts intializing every 5 minutes.

Hi, I am now on my third laserjet 200 M276nw in less than a month. I've never seen any company as incompetent as HP.... nobody can figure this out,, all I have available is Indian Phone Centers... they only read and reread the same scripts to me over and over and then want to replace my brand new, expensive laser printer with a refurbished one. I just want one that works and doesn't "Initialize" every 5 minutes on the minute,, it's more accurate than Big Ben but never stops whining and squealing,, night and day. I'm running out of options,, HP is about to lose my business forever... not gonna let my 30 day trial skip into their 1 year warranty or I'll be stuck with a refurbished/someone else's problem. Must be something simple or something I'm not seeing,, read everything I can find, but this seemingly is only happening to me??? WEIRD,, can't imagine getting 3 "OR MORE" of a defective product in a row.
ANY HELP OR IDEAS would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The fact that the printer did not re-initialise with the various computing devices switched off would seem to imply that the re-initialise action is triggered by something on one of the devices, and is not inherent to the printer itself.
The fact that this action didn't happen when the laptop was switched on (even after waiting at least 5 minutes?), but did start again when the printer was then power-cycled may perhaps be because the laptop didn't recognise that the printer was there until the printer reboot triggered some interrupt within the laptop operating system.
>> ... had an Error 49 earlier this afternoon and it shut itself down,, didn't mention it before but haven't had one since ...
So are you saying that the 5-minute occurrences are not each preceded by an error 49.xx being reported (bearing in mind that it may flash up on the display and disappear very quickly)?
And can you confirm that it IS re-initialising each time (the display will presumably indicate this) rather than just entering a cleaning or calibration cycle?

Laserjet 200 m276nw cannot connect to eprint

I have just installed a new Laserjet 200 M276nw printer. It connects to my network and I can print just fine. I tried to connect to eprint and it gives me a "cannot cnnect to internet" I also cannot check for printer updates as it cannot connect to the internet. Is there a port in the firewall that needs to be opened to allow it to connect to the internet? I have lgged into the web app using the ip address and tried to enabe web services and it comes up with an error "cannot connect to the internet". I am not using a proxy server.

Nforce 3 Platninum and 6800GT works fine for a week or so then fails to boot.

Hi everyone,
I have read pretty much all the posts on the forum, but none show the exact same problem as mine, as far as I can see.
I have an MSI Nforce 3 plat mobo (with latest BIOS), which is turning out to be the worst investment I ever got.
My specs are as follows:
2x512MB Kingston ram
AMD 3.5
pixelview 6800gt
raptor HD
thermaltake 480W PS
I upgraded to the nforce 3 for the 939pin socket for my AMD chip. I had constant freezing, so my old memory I had to chuck and buy 1GB of Kingston ram. Using my old ATI 9800pro my system was stable. Absolutely no crashes. I decide to buy a pixel view 6800GT AGP card to upgrade. Cool. Plug it in, reload windows (latest WHQL drivers from NVIDIA). Everthing is fine, for about a week. Then bad things start to happen. The symptoms are:
Turn machine on, BIOS check all ok, machine does DMI listing. As soon as the "starting windows" screen comes up, the video display goes corrupt. Either white, with diagonal lines, or windows XP logo all over the screen several times and corrupted. The machine does boot into windows, but the screen is blank or corrupted. I hear the windows startup sound click in. Press the power button, shut down the machine. Reboot. It usually comes up fine.
I thought initially it was the graphics card, so I swapped it out. Reloaded windows. All works ok for about a week. Then, again same problem. Windows event viewer shows no errors.
My question is this: can this be fixed or is it hardware incompatibility. If so, can I fix it tweaking the mobo settings. I have tried the AGP fast writes, didn't work. This looks like intrinsic Hardware incompatibility, but if it is this, why does it work for a week without any problems, and then it gets worse and worse and worse.
If this is a hardware problem, what is the cheapest way to get out of this. Is MSI nforce 4 any better or do I ditch pc gaming all together. I have been gaming from XT days, and I have to say, I am totally disheartened with this whole mess. The one thing in my life that I do want control of is a bootable, reliable PC to relax with at the end of the day. At the moment, I just shed tears as it is turning out to be a costly nightmare.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. My friend has offered to buy the 6800GT from me, and give me my old 9800Pro back. Should i do this???
Thanks guys
John

Hi Makisst,
Thanks for the reply.
System specs are as follows:
AMD 3500 64
MSI Neo Platinum (nforce3)
Creative labs Audigy2 pci card
Pixelview 6800GT AGP 256MB
Kingston DDR400 512Mb PC3200 400Mhz x2
MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM 939 pin (MS-7025-010)
Western Digital Raptor™ 74.0Gb 10,000RPM SATA150
Themaltake 480W power supply.
I have 2 extra ATA HDs, which I have not added to the system to rule those out.
I have a DVD player (bog standard MSI) and a CD burner (not plugged in so as to rule this out).
The only thing I have not tried is removing the sound card (audigy 2). What is driving me absolutely nuts is that the machine works fine for a week. Then there is a slow degrade. First boot, scrambled screen, second boot fine. Then a few days later, it will only boot the thrid time around. Then after 2 weeks, it won't boot at all.
I have tried this card in another persons machine (the 6800GT that is), and it boots fine.
I can honestly say I have not tried playing with the BIOS settings except for AGP fast writes, as it was working fine with the Radeon 9800 pro. I have done two full HD formats, and completely wiped the Raptor twice now.
I shall have a look at the BIOS settings you recommended tonight, and see if they make a difference. I am, to be 100% honest, a little bit scared of playing with the BIOS settings, as I really don't know what I am doing. I see that the ppl I bought the machine off have set timings in the BIOS to 3-3-8-3 (I think, I will confirm this tomorrow), so should I leave these settings?
I shall also remove the Audigy 2 card and see what happens. System properties show machine has no conflicts though. It is almost like the card is not initialising correctly. Why this happens only after 1 week though I have no idea. This is the third time it has started happening after 1 week.
The only extra software loaded is Norton, Win XP SP2 and directX9. I really have not had it stable enough to start loading extra software. I am getting too tired after reloading for the third time in 6 weeks.
I will let you know tomorrow either way.
Many thanks
John

I BOUGHT A IPHONE OFF A GUY ON THE STREETS IT WORKED FOR A WEEK AND NOW I THINK IT IS BLOKED WHAT SHUD I DO

I BOUGHT AN IPHONE 4 OFF A GUY IN THE STREET IT WAS WORKING FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND NOW I CANT MAKE OR RECIEVE CALLS WHAT SHUD I DO. PLZ HELP.

Did you sign up for a contract with AT&T? I assume so but had to ask.
And why in the world would you buy a phone from some guy on the street? Guys on the street are great if you want to buy a rock in a shrinkwrapped box or if you want something illegal or stolen but that's about it. Think of this problem as tuition.

My time capsule worked for several weeks and is now telling me backup disk not available? What to do?

My time capsule worked for several weeks and now is not backing up. Tells me backup disk not available? Any suggestions?

This is a lion bug..
Generally just rebooting the TC will get it back. Otherwise you need to reset the TC and redo its setup.
Tell us a bit more.. but there is as yet no work around or fix for lion.
Certain things help.. but wireless is also a weak link. It will generally work better by ethernet.
Try and get back if it is still bugging you.. I can suggest some other things.. but I do not know of or read a bullet yet.
(Snow and TC firmware 7.5.2 which I run do not have this issue.. so the bug was introduced with Lion and 7.6 firmware)

My I Touch is frozen. I have rebooted it, restored it to factory settings and restored it with backup. Sometimes it works for a week or 2, sometimes not.

My iTouch is frozen. I have rebooted it, restored it with backup and restored it to factory settings. It works for a week or 2 and then freezes again. Now it just will not unlock.

pop the sim card out...
full restore, will wipe out the system & lock code...
resync with your data, and you should be good...

Chuck Palmer what steps have you utilized to resolve the issue previously? You mentioned you were in contact with our support team. Do you have a case number which I can reference to review the notes?

My nano (4G) shuts off while playing, doesn´t respond until plugged in, then apple logo appears and it restarts. Restore worked for a week, same problem today. Says it is 50% charged.

My Nano shuts off in the middle of playing music/podcasts. It won´ respond until plugged in, then apple logo appears and it restarts. I restored factory settings and installed the newest OS which worked for a week, but it´s the same problem today. It happens while at 50% power or better (according to battery icon).

It sounds like the battery itself is going bad, which is likely given the age of the 4G Nanos. You'll want to have your iPod serviced by Apple or a third party service center to have them swap the battery out. Otherwise, it's time to start investing in a new iPod.

My pinned apps tabs keep disappearing. They will stay for a week or so, then all of a sudden they're gone. I checked the forums and everything that was suggested there, I did or un-did. But there's no point in having the tabs if they don't stay.

My pinned apps tabs keep disappearing. They will be there for a week or so, then they just aren't there the next time I open the browser. My settings seem to be OK, i.e. no clearing of history, etc.
It's frustrating because then I have to go through the whole process of pinning everything as app tabs again.

Try the suggestion in this thread: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/840901 instead of the garbage above. You would think mozdevs who actually know a solution to this problem would post the solution in all the relevant threads.
If it doesnt work too, I'm ready to get rid of FF as my primary browser.
Why bother providing a feature thats buggy ?? I once wasted my time pinning 20 apps over and over again till I realized it was poorly written and unsupported.

When I use Iphone 4 personal hotspot on USB, it works for a short time and then times out.

When I use Iphone 4 personal hotspot on USB, it works for a short time and then times out.
When pinging my iphone directly at 172.20.10.1, while I'm surfing and it times out, the ping shows nothing but "request timed out" .. Sometimes it "comes back" and sometimes I have to reboot my phone or disconnect the USB.. It's always done this and only on USB, it's very frustrating.
I have packet sniffed also, using Wireshark. When the "timeouts" happen, there's no more data coming from the Iphone. My PC continually sends ARP requests as well and don't get responses.
Have searched google endlessly and have gotten no where. This has been going on for several months and I'm just getting a bit fed up now.

My movie I recently downloaded from itunes "Act of Valor" only works for a out 5 chapters, then it stops working. Other movies work on my iPod touch. How do I fix this issue? If I can't, can I get my money back?

My movie I recently downloaded from itunes "Act of Valor" only works for a out 5 chapters, then it stops working. Other movies work on my iPod touch. How do I fix this issue? If I can't, can I get my money back?

- Go here and see if you can redownload the movies. If you can then delete the movie and redownlod it.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Otherwise, contact iTunes and explain your problem. They should allow a free redownload.

I have an iPhone 4S and a 2012 Honda CRV . The streaming BT music is fine but now suddenly it stopped displaying song info on the screen. It worked for about 10 days and then stopped. Any thoughts?

I think that we all know the answer to this one.
Unfortunatley the device is concidered damaged by water. Apple can do an out of warranty repair which would cost $199. Generally they would just replace the device in this case for the $199.
The alternative is to Purchase a new device.
