Laserjet P1006 works better but not good enough in Windows 8.1

Background: I ran the Windows 8 pre-install check for hardware compatibility. It said I would be able to use my HP Laserjet P1006. That was wrong. The printer never worked once under Windows 8.0. That was over a year without a home printer unless I carried it to my wife's Windows 7 laptop to use.
Current situation: I got the Windows 8.1 upgrade (64-bit). The drivers are now available. I re-installed the Laserjet P1006 and it can be used from my desktop and shared to my wife's Windows 7 on the wireless home network.
Issues:
1) if paper runs out there is no way to restart the printing and the print must be cancelled from the X button on the printer... because there is nothing on the print queue after paper runs out.
2) if you don't wait for the printout to finish before you print another document, then the printer will hang for a very long time (20 minutes) and eventually print the end of document 1 and then document 2. Apparently this is related to 1) above, because the print queue will only show the second document when the first is still not completed.
3) even with power saver turned OFF, drives off NEVER, etc. the network sharing of this printer requires that I wake the monitors, enter the password, and finally STOP/START the SPOOLER SERVICE. Even then it's likely we won't get the shared printer to work on the same day... but likely it will print much later when some miracle occurs.
I have some other printers that have recently been gifted with W8.1 drivers. I can try them to see if these spool and communication problems are pervasive (Windows 8.1) or specific to the P1006 driver.
I have actually loaded the HASP deck for an NJE/RJE station on the TUCC. My first PC was an OSBORNE I. I cut my teeth on KIM-1 and Commodore P.E.T. machines.

Hi AZBen,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I read your post and you are having issues printing and using the printer sharing.
I will be happy to help you.
The printer has a USB connection and works properly when connected directly to a computer by a USB connection through the software.
Can't guarantee printer sharing will work.
You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 not the latest USB 3.0. USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
Temporarily turn off and any Firewalls and Antivirus software to see if this will resolve the issue.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a wonderful day!

HT1386 mac itunes is current but not good enough for mini. how to get min to sync?

The Mac itunes is current but not the same as the mini. Do i have to purchase software in order to add another device the mini onto my growing pile of apple? Will this upgrade effect the other older apple devices running older versions?

What is the OS on your Mac and what version of iTunes? For the OS version click on the Apple logo in the top left corner then About this Mac.

Is this the app you're referring to?
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/phone-tracker/id348537489?mt=8
As you'll note it's made by Presselite and that page has a link to their support.
Also, you'll find it best not to post questions about iPhone apps in the AppleWorks forum. Best to contact the makers of the app.

Firefox will not open on my computer the majority of the time. If I shut down and restart it will work sometimes, but not always. This started recently in the last two weeks. Today is June 12th 2011.

Like so many others I have not been able to access or send emails with iCloud now loosing business. Not good enough and lack of info from Apple is also not good enough!

Like so many others I have not been able to access or send emails on iCloud. This is now loosing me business! Not Good enough Apple and your lack of information is poor customer service.

Unfortunately, Apple does not yet allow merging of Apple ID's. if you were once using [email protected] as your Apple ID then there is no way to link that ID with the new one to avoid losing the previous data under that old ID. You will have to either go back to using the old ID to save the old data or just keep both, which you arfe allowed to do.

Occasionally Firefox 3.6.12 won't display photos on certain sites. Reloading works sometime but not alwasys.

At times on auction some sites such as ebay, (and others), photos won't display. If I press the reload button there's a chance the photo will display. If reload doesn't work the first time, pressing it 3 or 4 times may work but not always. Closing the site then re-opening works sometimes but not always. Annoying.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I can connect my Iphone 6 and Ipad Air to my Bose Soundlink but not my IMac. I have tried all the usual solutions but nothing works. It has worked recently but not in the last week. Help

I can connect my Iphone 6 and Ipad Air to my Bose Soundlink but not my IMac. I have tried all the usual solutions but nothing works. It has worked recently but not in the last week. Help

make sure it's not being connected to by any of the other two
one can only connect 1 device at the time and just by waking up sometimes a headset connects to a device
automaticly
then forget the bluetooth device in OS X and put the headset in pairing mode / discovery mode and connect with it once again with the mac

Constant Error; Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working. But NOT running Trusteer Rapport.

I am experiancing this unbelieveably annoying and constant Flash error; Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working.
But NOT running Trusteer Rapport, I never have, and it's not even installed on my computer. So what's causing this?

There were a couple AntiVirus/AntiMalware products that keep coming up, but I haven't validated that in the lab and don't want to call anyone out publicly without reporting the issue to them first.  If you could tell me what antivirus/antimalware products and versions you have installed, that would be helpful.
So, third party stuff aside, I'd like to know more about the crashes your seeing:
1.) Please provide links to the Firefox crash reports. If you have multiples, the first few would be great.
     In Firefox, type about:crashes in the address bar
     If the link starts with "bp...", it's already been submitted -- just right-click on it and copy the link, and paste it into the reply here.
     If not, click it to submit it, and copy the subsequent link.
2.) In firefox, type about:support
     Just copy and paste the output into the reply.
3.) In Firefox, type about:plugins
     Please copy and paste the output into the reply
4.) Please provide the output of the DirectX Diagnostic Utility
     Click Start > type "dxdiag" [enter]
     Click Save All Information
     Copy the output of the file into the reply, or use Adobe SendNow/DropBox/PasteBin to share the file.
5.) If you can provide an exact URL and step-by-step instructions on repeating the crash (if it's consistent), that would be really helpful. My goal is to build out a configuration that matches yours as closely as possible, reproduce the problem and then debug it.
If you're not comfortable sharing that diagnostic information publicly, send me a private message. Just click my name and use the options on the right.
Thanks!

cffeed caching works locally but not on server

So I got my new Hostek account set up (woohoo!) and I've started uploading some basic files so I can do thinks like validate my code and make sure everything's working. One thing that does not work (but does locally) is my news feed caching.
Pulling in two RSS feeds was seriously slowing down my index page loading, so I stole a trick from Ray Camden on caching the feeds. It works perfectly on my dev machine at home, but doesn't work on my hosted account.
Here's the exact code being used:
<cfset feedurl = "http://velonews.competitor.com/feed">
<cfset cacheTime = #createtimespan(1,0,0,0)#>
<cfif not structKeyExists(application,"rsscache") or dateDiff("n", application.rsscache.created, now()) gt cacheTime>
    <cffeed source="#feedurl#" query="entries">
    <cfset application.rsscache = structNew()>
    <cfset application.rsscache.data = entries>
    <cfset application.rsscache.created = now()>
</cfif>
<ul>
<cfloop query="#application.rsscache.data#" startrow="1" endrow="6">
<cfoutput><li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</ul>
I tried wrapping a try/catch around the top section (above the <ul>) and still got nothing for an error message. The page just stops being rendered at that first <ul>.
I'm not sure why it works locally but not on the web server. Any ideas?

Miraculously, I got it working.
I changed this:
<cfloop query="#application.rsscache.data#" startrow="1" endrow="6">
<cfoutput><li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
To this:
<cfoutput maxrows="6" query="application.rsscache.data">
<li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li>
</cfoutput>
And bingo! It worked. Perhaps it's an idiosyncrasy between CF9 and CF10.

Link to tabbed panel works once, but not again

I have successfully linked from text in one tabbed panel to open another panel on the same page, using SpryURLUtils.js.
<a href="?tab=2#TabbedPanels1">
var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels1", {defaultTab: params.tab ? params.tab : 0});
When I return to the panel containing the link, the link no longer functions. So basically, it will work once, but not twice.
Thoughts on what's happening?

The example that you gave is great for opening a tab in a new page.To open panels on the same page see here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/tabbedpanels/tabbed_panel_sample.htm

Hi,
Apple's AirPrint only support specific models while using wired or wireless network connection.
Plugging a printer into a USB port of Apple base is not supported for AirPrint:
AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
As well you must use AirPrint enabled printers for a such, none of your printers are AirPrint enabled:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
There are 3rd party solutions which allow sharing a printer connected to your Mac as AirPrint, Printopia as example provide a such:

I cannot get time machine (with airport) to back up my mac. It worked previously but not now. It is working on my macbook. the message i get is "Time Machine couldn't back up to '(airport network name)'" Any help is appreciated.

OS is important.. What OS is on Mac and what is on the working macbook?
Was the Airport setup from the Macbook? That might be why it works from there..
Does the AE show up in Mac airport utility?
Can you mount the disk in finder and copy files to it/from it??
Did you try a TM reset after mounting in Finder.. so you know it is available?
What about a network reboot.. does it work post a restart for a few minutes/hours/days???
