Location-Aware Printing not working correctly in Windows 8

I am running Windows 8 Enterprise 64-bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad X230 laptop and joined to a domain. I have set up location aware printing (in Devices and Printers -> Manage default printers) to map to different printers between office and home.
It works but with a glitch.
It does the switching correctly if I put the laptop in Sleep mode when I leave office/home.
However, with a shutdown/restart or a reboot, the "Manage Default Printers" setting would revert back to "Always use the same printer as my default printer".
Am I the only one who has this issue?

i may have some more information:
if i disable hybrid sleep the bug doesnt occur. try it and let me know
First open Control Panel.
Navigate to Hardware and Sound -> Power Options
Click on "Choose what the power button does" on left hand side.
Click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" later on.
Now you will see at the bottom an option "Enable Hybrid Boot" under Windows shutdown settings. From here you can either enable or disable
Hybrid Boot by either checking or unchecking that check box option. When Hybrid Boot is enabled, Windows 8 does not close the kernel session, but closes just the user sessions.
Correction: No it dont help but setting stick for a while after start but suddently reverts back to faulty setting when boot has completed
hence something must change setting during boot

K8600 not working correctly on Windows 7

My k8600 just won't to print with the right scale on word, autocad, adobe reader and maybe the other software installed on windows 7. If i print a drawing or text on A3 sheet the result is that the print occupies only the top-left side of the sheet.
Does a win7 beta driver or an alternative driver exist for k8600???
I had problems with margins in Windows Vista too.... but not in this terrible way!

I can't find it in the support site and the default driver in Windows doesn't work correctly.
The link you provide indicates which printers will have drivers available from the install disks, Windows Update or download from HP. While many drivers have already been posted others are scheduled later. Your printer is scheduled to have full featured drivers available in Late January 2010 as described in [link removed - full featured drivers now available here]
What issue are you having with the supplied drivers?

Printer not working correctly

my black ink on my printer is not working and how do I know if my printer is connected to my computer.

Hi there @ms-redd!
I can see here that you have the HP Deskjet 1510 and your using it with a computer running Windows 8.1. For the issue with the black cartridge not printing I would suggest following this document regarding Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Deskjet 1510.
To check and see if the printer is connected to the computer you need to go to your control panel and click on "devices and printers". If the printer is connected correctly it will show in the devices and printers window.
Let me know how it goes!

Location based printing not working

Hello all,
I've been searching for an answer but coming up with nothing so I figured I'd give it a shot and ask. After installing a fresh version of Leopard (with the latest updates) on a computer and then copying the user data back onto said computer, the location based printing doesn't work anymore. The printers used to switch automatically, now they do not. They switched when going from one office (city) to the next. (I believe it used the different subnet addresses to tell where it was at on our network.)
Any ideas on how to "fix" it. All I see is that it's just supposed to work so there really isn't anything to fix.
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hello Eric,
I am surprised to hear that you had this working. I use the Location function to switch between three different Ethernet connections (office, lab and training room) and I have never found that I can set a particular printer for the respective subnet.
As you know, you set your default printer in System Preferences > Print & Fax. I thought that if this was set to 'Last Printer Used' it would remember which printer was last used for the respective Location, but it always shows the last printer used regardless of which Location I selected.
FYI - I also have an alternate account which I use for home (also set as a Location for wireless connection). This is defaulted to a different printer compared to the work account, but is not influenced by the Location setting.
I would be interested to hear if anyone else has had this working.

My location service is not working correctly

We moved in the last couple weeks (an hour and a half away). When I am at my new house, I cannot get my current location. When I go to the Maps app and do current location, it says I am at our old house. The odd thing is, when I go away from our new house, not even connected to a wifi network, it will be able to locate me. I've tried inside and outside... it doesn't make a difference. With these circumstances, I figured it HAD to be something with our wireless router... since that seems to be the only connection to our old house. I tried hard resetting the router, and resetting all of the different settings on it... but when I reconnected my iPod to the network, it still said I was at our old house.
Any help?
Thanks
Nate

Your location is determined from a location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured. The database is built and updated by actually driving around and mapping router locations.
Since you just moved the location of your router has not been updated in the database and when you use Maps you will see your old location.
If you go outside your house you can be correctly located because your iPod sees other routers which are in the location database. Note that you do not need to be connected to a router for your iPod to see it and obtain its MAC address.

My ipad3 wifi location service is not working correctly. Please help me!

I tried to locate my iPad and is showing another part of the world. But frm my iPhone 4 the location shown is correct. When I tried to set time and region it shows the same other part of the world. It's frustrating, I have tried and tried But without any progress. Can any one help me here!!!

Your iPhone has GPS whereas your WiFi-only iPad has to be located based on where Apple's database thinks the WiFi router is located. It would see that location is incorrect, and if so there's nothing you can do about it. The location may be more accurate if you connect to another WiFi access point.
As to the time and date, have you confirmed that the time zone is set correctly in Date and Time settings? If it's incorrect, turn off the "set automatically", select the correct time zone, and you should then be able to turn the "set automatically" back on.
Regards.

Focus under Win2k does not work correctly

Hi,
we've found out that the focus does not work correctly under Windows 2000 in
Seamless Mode (App is a Windows Application running on Windows Terminal Server
2003), the same application has no problems under Windows XP, Apple Macintosh
and Linux.
Example: The application has a button which pop's up a small calendar window
giving that window focus. In Tarantella under Win2k however you just see the
window popping up shortly and then going in the background. As the window is in
the background and you can't get the window back and you also cannot work
further in that application as the rest is inactive.
Only way is to do a right-click on the application in the taskbar, which brings
the window in the foreground again. What makes this problem even harder to
analyze is, that it sometimes even works correctly (around 3 of 10 times).
We've mostly recognized this with modal windows. The native client does not have
this problem, however as far as I know it does not support seamless mode.
2. The second problem we got is, that if you click with the mouse into the
initializing Window while the application starts up after you have clicked on an
application Link in SGD (I mean the Pre-Login window of Windows which shortly
shows up just before the Login Process begins),
the application is not started seamlessly but is started within that window and
you have no chance but closing an restarting the application to get it in
seamless mode. This is seen on all Client Operating Systems by us and not only
Windows 2000.
The Client runs:
Windows 2000 SP4 all updates installed
Java: 1.5.0-5
Browser: IE6.0 and Firefox 1.0.7
Server: Windows 2003 Terminal Server (all updates installed)
Tarantella: 4.20.909
I hope that someone has at least a workaround.
Regards
Carsten

I have organized some testcases attached are 3 Test Programs which work
nice natively but got these problems under Tarantella under every Windows
Operating System (the error is not Windows 2000 as I previously mentioned but
also occurs on Windows XP).
The interesting thing is that the Test Program made with .NET does not show this
problem.
Could someone please test these and tell if this error is reproducible on your
systems as well ?
Run these Testprograms natively, they show no misbehavior.
Execute this from a SGD Webtop Session in Seamless Mode, see that
the Modal window is not modal but shifts into the background on every 2 -3 click.
Regards
Carsten

Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit - finger print not working (sony viao 15126pab)

I cant access any printers, not even the virtual printers.
What I would do is use ProcMon to find out why that Event entry was written. Then I imagine I would get a clue about a .dll which might be involved, which hopefully might be registerable. Since IE9 there have been new .dll involving printing
which have not been reflected in any of our repair tools. However, instead of modifying our old scripts to reflect this fact, I have been advocating, so far unsuccessfully, that Microsoft create a proper IE Repair tool, one which does not rely on such
unreliable techniques.   E.g. a better method of repairing would be to have it done by a proper troubleshooter (an .msdt file) but so far it seems nothing has been done in that way for these symptoms (again, assuming the cause is registry corruption
and not simple interference from now incompatible third-party programming--the fix for that would be to identify and remove the incompatibilities.)   For example.

Elements 13 crashes - Windows message - this program is not working correctly - windows will close it.

I bought Elements 13 4 days ago through Amazon - so far it has not run for more than 5 minutes before Windows closes it down with the message - this program is not working correctly, windows will close it. I know this is not unusual but has anyone got a solution - apart from returning it
with a very unfavourable review? I have tried all the suggested fixes on the Adobe help site with no result. Elements 10 runs OK on the same machine.
Alternatively, is there any possible way to get support from Adobe?

juliana
Do you have any version of Premiere Elements 13 or only Photoshop Elements 13 which comes with Elements Organizer 13?
Let us look at the following for Elements Organizer 13....
1. Deletion of disabling the Elements Organizer 13 setting file which is named psa.prf. In Windows 7, 8, o 8.1 64 bit, it is found in the
path
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Elements Organizer
13.0
Organizer
and in the Organizer Folder is the psa.prf file that you delete or disable by renaming it from psa.prf to psa.prfOLD.
2. If the above gains you successful entry into the Elements Organizer 13, then you can
a. create a new catalog
and/or
b. repair or optimize the current one
See Elements Organizer 13/File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager.
3. There are times that certain formats will bring the Elements Organizer down when you try to import those formats into
it. But, from what you wrote, your current problems do not sound media related.
3. At your earliest opportunity, please update Elements Organizer 13 to 13.1 using its Help Menu/Updates.
Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

Windows 8 - SC6 started doing weird things, not working correctly

Windows 8 and CS6 - Liquifying tool not working and and actions not working correctly, back ground screen flickers and changes color and does weird things. I have done a complete D&R and it does the same thing. Someone with the same problem suggested a D&R and deactivate, then reinstall and reactivate, could this possibly work? if so, how would you do that? Thanks

Yes, one I can think of. Get the make and model of your video card and head over to the card manufacturer's website.
Check for and install the latest drivers for your card.
Also see if changing the settings of your GPU helps. Uncheck everything (OpenCL Anti-alias 30 bit displays) and start at Basic. then work your way up to Normal and Advanced.

You may select how and whether Firefox updates, although like most software it may be sensible to keep it up-to-date, it is more likely to remain secure and compatible with other software whilst up to date.
