Laserjet 4100 -- can it not be connected directly to the computer?

Is there no way to connect the printer directly to the computer, without going through a network? It seems like that should be a very basic and obvious thing. I have a desktop computer. It is connected via ethernet cable to the HP Laserjet 4100 printer. And yet, the computer cannot see the printer. The diagnostic/troubleshooting programs that I have tried say that the printer is not connected. Help!

Can you clarify how you have the Time Capsule presently configured on your network? Is it connected with an Ethernet cable to your modem/router?

  • We removed Pages from the computer, but now we can't open Word documents directly. The computer keeps bringing up an alert that it can't find Pages to open the document.

    We removed Pages from my husband's computer, but now when he tries to open documents that were created in Word, we can't open them directly, only through the Word Dialogue box. The computer keeps bringing up an alert that it can't find Pages to open the document.

    Select one of the documents. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With panel select Word from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button. This should fix the problem.

  • My airport is not connecting to the internet. I have a cable modem. and i'm on the internet now connected directly to the modem. what can i do?

    my airport is not connecting to the internet. I have a cable modem. and i'm on the internet now connected directly to the modem. what can i do?

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Can Flex 4.6 connect directly with a MS WCF

    Can Flex 4.6 connect directly with a MS WCF without having to use a 3rd party tool like WebOrb.  I have several basic httpprotocal wcf services that I want to move to a mobile app with Flex. Any feed back or insight will be appriceated.

    The correct answer to this question appears to be that Apple's terms of service *do not* prohibit the loading of swf's on IOS from remote servers dynamically at runtime.  They prohibit the loading of swf's that *contain executable ActionScript code*. 
    I loaded a PPT into Adobe Connect and then retrieved the resultant slide swf's from the Connect server.  I took these swf's and loaded them into my iPad app, dynamically at runtime, from a remote server.  The swf's loaded and animations played.  I made no changes to my code.  I'm just using a plain old SWFLoader object.
    Loading swf's dynamically at runtime from remote servers into IOS works - if you make the swf's right.  How to do that I'm not sure.

  • In a WDS, how can I force a satellite base station to connect directly to the main station

    I have 2 Airports Extremes (Call them A and B) and a Time Capsule set up in a WDS. All are recent vintage at V 7.6.1 firmware. Airport A is the main base station connected to the internet via ethernet to a cable modem. The satellites, Airport B and the Time Capsule, are in opposite corners of the house. Airport A is in a media closet in the middle of the downstairs, Airport A is on the east end of the house, about 40 ft away, with a wood door and drywall wall in between. The Time Capsule is on the west side of the house, with just the floor/ceiling in between it and Airport A.
    When the WDS is functioning normally (most of the time), both satellites connect directly to the main station, and Airport Utility describes each connection as Excellent. But at least once a day, one of the satellites will connect to the other satellite, not directly to the main station. When this happens, Airport Utility describes the connection as Good or Average and my online throughput decreases by about 5 fold in both directions. The only thing that works every time to get it back to it's proper setup is restarting all three, which is really a pain.
    Is there any way to force the satellites to connect directly to the main station?

    So is it possible to connect a non-USB Mac to an
    Aiport network through the ethernet port in any way?
    Yes
    Using something like the Linksys Ethernet Wireless Bridge WET54G.

    Apple suggest a removal and re-install of iTunes to get over the 1601 / 1602 error message.
    Other sites suggest trying a different USB socket… direct to the PC / Mac not a hub.

    Ipod Touch 1st generation: blank white screen - I tried holding both buttons and connecting it to the computer, restoring it, and still nothing. What else can I do? I did not drop it in water.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port.  WHen we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?

    A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port.  When we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?  Obviously the device is operational.  Could the USB port have burned out from having too much power drawn?  If so, is it reparable?

    It can't draw "too much" power, it can only draw as much as the USB port is able to provide and no more. IIRC, the keyboard port has a lower power output than the iMac's port.
    That being said, yea, it's possible that the port has failed and it can be replaced or if another port works you can use that one. Although if it is still under warranty or covered by Apple Care, then I would take it to an Apple Store or service provider to get the port repaired.
