Line Conditioner vs. AVR for laser printer and copier.

Just want to know which is better to buy for a copier and laser printers a Line Conditioner or an AVR.
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

I had an add pop on the side of spiceworks for 10Gbps business internet. Immediatley the following popped into my head:Holy Crap! I would sh*t a brick to have that internet! I would literally force a brick out of my sphincter to have those kinds of speeds!It got me to thinking about the kinds of speeds we have in my area (desert of west Texas). The hospital at which I work has a 100Mbps fiber circuit, but most home users are running 4Mbps DSL! We are moving to a 500Mbps fiber circuit soon, but what kinds of speeds is everyone else running on? Post up your speed tests!P.S. Yes the upload speed on mine is embarrassing, but we are having some issues at the moment.

Creating InDesign files for both print and mobile output?

I am looking for a way to create files that can be multi-purpose for both print and mobile/online environments. I would like the output to be 2 different PDFs from one set of Indesign files. The problem I am encountering is that currently my files are full of hi-res and vector graphics, effects, and are generally created to be optimized for large-scale printings on offset or digital presses. I am trying to use the same files to generate files that are optimized for mobile and online presentation but finding that the number of vector graphics specifically is slowing page display down.
My initial reaction is that the solution would have to be dual-development. Multiple forms of 'master graphics' would have to be created and placed on multiple layers (one for print and one for mobile/online).
Hi-res files could be made lo-res in Acrobat or Pitstop, but vector imagery would have to be rasterized and I am not aware of a method to do that in either of those programs.
I have found some info on adobe.com leading me to think that maybe CS6 addresses some of this, but the majority of my work is being done in CS4 with only the bleeding edge being done in CS5.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

the output to be 2 different PDFs from one set of Indesign files.
You can accomplish this by saving each PDF using a different preset - High Quality Print for the high res, smallest file size for web
but vector imagery would have to be rasterized...
You should be trying to keep all vector work as vectors. This, in most cases, lowers the file size. There are a couple of exceptions to that like if the vectors are very complex (layered etc) and you are using bitmap effects like drop shadows. In general, rasterizing will increase the file size and lower the quality.
Is there any functional difference between the 2 PDFs? I am wondering why exporting using 2 different presets will not do the job efficiently enough. You could always save your linked images with a low res version - same file but make a copy 100dpi instead of 300dpi. This might help but InD normally downsamples the images anyway when exporting as smallest file size.
EDIT:// In Acrobat, you can save as "Reduced Size PDF" which strips out all the meta data etc and makes the PDF lighter and faster for web use. This would be a final, before publishing online step.

PiXMA MP250 scan error 5,202,54. Prints and copy so scanner works. Has software problem. Need a fix.

Hi Horseheadjdj,
If you have any antivirus or firewall programs on your computer, please temporarily disable them and then try to launch MP Navigator again. Sometimes these programs can block the scanning process of the printer. If you still have difficulty opening MP Navigator, we can remove a file/icon on your computer named "My Websites on MSN" to see if this will resolve the issue. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Click 'Start' and then 'Computer'.
2. On the left-hand pane, click the down arrow beside Local Disk (C).
3. Click the down arrow beside Users to open the folder.
4. Click the down arrow beside your username (for example Joe).
5. Click the down arrow beside the AppData (Application Data) folder.
6. Click the down arrow beside Roaming.
7. Click the down arrow beside Microsoft.
8. Click the down arrow beside the Windows folder.
9. Click the down arrow beside Network Shortcuts folder.
10. Locate an icon named My Web Sites on MSN.
11. Right-click on My Web Sites on MSN and select 'Delete'.
After performing this process, attempt to scan. If you still receive the same error after removing the file, or if the file does not exist, we can try to temporarily remove files from a folder called TWAIN 32 that may be causing a conflict with the MP Navigator program to try and resolve the issue. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Go to Computer / My Computer and locate the C: drive, then double-click on it to open.
2. Locate the WINDOWS folder, then double-click to open it.
3. Locate the TWAIN_32 folder, then double-click to open it.
4. Inside of the TWAIN_32 folder, you will see a folder for your PIXMA MP250 printer as well as a WIATWAIN.DS file. If there are other files in that folder, you will want to move them to another location, preferably your Desktop by doing the following:
4-1. Click on each of the other items in the folder other than the the WIATWAIN.DS file and PIXMA MP250 folder to select them. You will want to hold the the CTRL key on your keyboard while selecting each of the items until all of the items except for the two referenced above are selected. Please be sure to leave the WIATWAIN.DS file and PIXMA MP250 folder inside of the TWAIN_32 folder.
4-2. With all of the items you want to move selected, please go to the EDIT menu and select the CUT option.
4-3. Go to your Desktop (main window that comes up when you start Windows with all of the icons on it) and right-click your mouse in any blank area, then choose the PASTE option. The items you selected from the TWAIN_32 folder should appear on the Desktop.
5. Try to launch and scan using MP Navigator again.

Allowing printing and copying

Please can somebody tell me how to go about 'allowing' printing and copying from pages of the ebooks I have bought for my studies. Is this an issue that I should address to the online seller here in South Africa or is this 'not allowed to print or copy' an Adobe issue? Thank you, Ann Williams

Can you post the file somewhere and link to it so we can see it? If you only checked those options, i should be fine.

Recommendations for Laser Printer

I need a low cost ($200-400) color laser printer with reasonably fast printing pages per minute, especially in black and white. It will be attached mostly to a an iBook running the latest OS X. It will also be attached occasionally to a Dell Latitude. Anybody got an ideas?

Jamie,
I just wanted to thank you once again for your suggestion of the HP LaserJet 1320. I picked one up last week at Office Depot and, after I receive my $50 mail-in rebate, my total cost will have been $139.99!
The printer itself had an 'instant savings' of $100 off the SRP of $399.99 (and - for those who might be interested - this instant savings continues until June 30 - see the HP website for details.), bring it down to $299.99; I had an $100 Office Depot 'rewards' card plus a $10 'instant off' coupon from the previous week, bringing it down to $189.99 and there was a mail-in rebate for $50 (which, according to the paperwork, I can expect within 6 weeks) so... I was able to get a $400 printer for less than $140 (+ tax, of course).
Still, even with $14 tax, I have to assume that I would have paid at least as much in shipping AND I only had to drive for less than 5 miles, spend 20 minutes explaining why I did not want or need either the extended warranty or the Super Special Laser Printer Official Office Depot Very Special Customer Service Box (a cable, some paper, and a few other doodads for $60) and now I've printed a couple of hundred sheets and love the thing.
Had it not been for your recommendation, I likely would have forgotten the $100 Office Depot card until it expired and would not have sought out the printer there in the first place.
It's such a warm and fuzzy feeling to get such a deal on such a terrific little printer... and, so, I thank you, again.

Looking for laser printer recommendations (please read!)

I couldn't find a spot that fit this question and although I may not receive any answers here, this is a very active forum with members who are unafraid of new technology, so here's letting one rip...
OK, I've not had a laser printer in a number of years - when my beloved LaserWriter II NTX gave up the ghost. I find that I am lately, however, printing more and more text-only or text-heavy documents at home and going through black ink cartridges like a hungry lumberman through flapjacks. Although I've not looked into laser technology for years, I am wondering if it may not be more economical to print these pages on a 'personal' laser printer (I know that toner cartridges are not cheap, either, but they are less expensive, from what I've read, than using inkjet to print text-heavy documents) than to continue racking up rebate dollars by selling my soul for black ink cartridges.
So I am looking for a laser printer that can handle about 2,500-4,000 pages a month AND (here's the kicker!) have automatic duplex printing capabilities... I've never had this ability on a laser printer but I understand it's available on some models these days.
I'm not looking for an 'office capable' printer - maybe more like a 'small office'? No real need for Ethernet, yet, if it's a standard feature, I would certainly use it. A small footprint would be nice.
As I wander into the local Office Depot I am overwhelmed by the choices and yet stupefied to find that the 'hang tags' on many of the models don't really give too much information - page one can expect from a cartridge, connectivity options, duplexing capabilities (I seem to find none, yet am certain that I've read of their existence).
So my criteria:
1. monochrome
2. PostScript emulation (unless CUPS supports lasers? It'd difficult to tell by the ad hype yet Apple does seem to have drivers or, at least, Brother and HP laser printers). I don't want to be limited to 72 typefaces...
3. automated duplexing
4. small footprint
5. more economical to operate than an inkjet at 2,500-4000 pages per month
6. networkable, though served through another CPU via USB is fine
7. brand is not important - as long as reliability is high (and, like Brother, for instance, is supported by Apple)
Please leave a message if you should have ANY suggestions or, if you can point me towards a website with a good overview of what's available (and with actual tests would even be better!) I would be very appreciative.

Escape codes for laser printer Kyocera FS-3920dn in reports 6i

Hi,
I use many reports for printing on laser printer Kyocera FS-3920DN. But now I need print some reports on special performed paper. For this we added 1 paper tray to printer ( Now we have 2 trays in printer ). How can I define for new reports which tray have to use ??? I wish to specified for report2.rep to use automaticly tray 2. Its a way through PRT file use escape codes ?? Have you any experience pls??

In the report itself you can use:
SRW.SET_PRINTER_TRAY('tray');
see the online help.
We do it differently, though. Our printers have 2 trays, one with blank paper and one with pre-printed logo paper.
On each PC there are two printers defined (PRINTER_BLANk and PRINTER_LOGO). They point to the same printer, just a different tray.

Canon ImageClass c2100 Color Laser Printer and OS 10.6

Hi-
I have a Canon ImageClass c2100 Color Laser printer which, as I understand it, shares drivers and some parts with the HP Color LaserJet 8500. I have owned the printer for many years but it hasn't been used since we updated our systems to 10.6. We are on a wired Ethernet network with passive hubs and an Asante Firewall.
After firing up the ImageClass c2100 we do not seem to be able to print. I get the message "cannot connect to printer" or the print process just hangs up. I am looking for some step by step instructions for both the settings on the Canon printer and for the Mac print preferences. For example:
When adding printer:
LPD or IPP? My HP 4050TN works with this at LPD so thats what I have been doing on the Canon
What IP address do I put in there? I see the IP on the printer is set to 192.168.123.169 so I have been using that.
For the driver software I select HP Color LaserJet 8500 as I believe that this worked before.
On the Canon ImageClass c2100 I have the settings as:
TCP/IP - Ethernet - Set to YES
Enable Auto IP - Set to NO
Ethernet IP - 192.168.123.169
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.123.254
Appletalk - Set to YES
If any of you out there are Mac and Canon experts I'd love a hand getting this combo running. Seems a shame to retire this old workhorse when she has lots of pages left in her.
Cheers.

Did you confirm that the Mac and the C2100 can 'see' each other? On the Mac, you can open Network Utility and select the Ping tab. Here you can type the IP address of the C2100, set the number of Pings to 4 and then press the Ping button. If there is working path between the two devices then you should get 4 responses from the C2100 for each ping. If the results show something else then post those responses back here.
The other thing you can do is open Safari and type the IP address of the Mac as the URL. If there is a path between the two devices then this will connect to the internal web page of the C2100. If it doesn't show the internal web page then this also confirms that you have the Mac and the C2100 configured for different networks and this will cause the pausing issue.
If you do get a ping response, or can connect to the internal web page, then the pausing can be a result of the protocol you selected not being available on the C2100. As I mentioned before, for an LPD connection a queue name of print must be entered. But if the LPD/LPR setting is not enabled on the C2100 then this will cause the queue to pause. So you could try creating another queue to the C2100, but this time selecting HP Jetdirect-Socket for the protocol. While LPD can be disabled by default, RAW Port 9100 (which is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on the Mac) is often on as this is the default protocol used by Windows - and it is important we don't upset Windows users ;-) With Jetdirect you will notice that no queue name is required, so all you need to enter is the IP address and then select Generic Postscript in the Print Using menu.
See how that goes for you....

Use TC for Wireless Printing and Backups Only on Existing Wireless Network

I am fairly clueless about this whole issue. I set up my current Belkin wireless router several years ago, and haven't had to fool with it once. I don't want to have to touch it--if it ain't broke............ However, I would like to use my Time Capsule I just purchased to backup via Time Machine wirelessly and attach a USB printer and print wirelessly. So the TC will not be used for internet, just want a separate wireless point for printing and backing up. Is this possible? I am not sure which choice to choose in Airport utility. I tried a couple different ways, and it didn't work. Can't honestly tell you what I tried, am a bit confused at this point!

If you have not already done so, I suggest that your start over on the AirPort Expess "from scratch" by performing a Factory Default Reset and then attempt to configure it to join the network again.
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
If you have an older Express, make sure that you are not trying to configure it to connect to the 5 GHz network, as it is unable to do so.
Assuming that the name of the wireless network, wireless security setting and password on the Express match up with the AirPort Extreme, the Express should "join" the network if it is working correctly.
If you are still having problems, all that you really can do is try the default reset a few more times. If still no luck, the Express....which is at least 5-6 years old or older, may likely need to be replaced with a new model.

Where do i put plugin node for my printer and photoshop cs

hello all. i have a question that has been vexing me for some time. where do i place the plugin nodes for my printer software and my photoshop cs? the printer is an epson r200. also, i need to place the scanner plugin for an epson stylus 3200 all-in-one printer. i have read the help library for each app, but haven't found where ot put them. thanks for your time and attntion, mcrat

I have that printer...
Maybe we can approach this differently? I haven't manually installed anything and the printer prints fine. To start, have you Added the printer using More Printers > Epson USB? That's how you use the epson driver. If that's not it, can you explain what isn't working?

EMAIL FOR MOBILE PRINTING AND REGISTERING WITH HP

Just bought a Deskjet 2540 printer, have managed set up but have two questions
Where do I get the required email for printing from a smartphone (tried my register email but that doesn't work)
Trying to register my printer with HP by clicking on product in list but nothing happens. Just starts to buffer!!
Thanks guys

Hi gillymc,
I'm sorry to hear you are having problems setting up the ePrint feature of your Deskjet 2540 printer.
Your printer isn't an ePrint supported printer and wouldn't have a HP ePrint email address. If your Smartphone is an Apple mobile device AirPrint will work with your printer. I have included the printer specifications for your reference. I have also included a document about HP's supported mobile printing solutions.
