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.

  • Location based wifi not working as expected

    I would expect that location based wifi would either turn wifi off if not in a place with saved networks, or turn wifi on if arriving in a place with saved networks, but it does neither. I have tested this by turning wifi on when at home, then periodically checking status in places with no networks saved or open, and it's still on, and also by turning wifi off when away from home, then checking at home to see if it's turned on, and it isn't. So doesn't seem to be working either way. I have stamina mode active, and some people have said that location based wifi won't work with this.but most say works just fine, and would have expected Sony to say if different power saving options were incompatible. Always have location sensing GPS turned on. Often have mobile data off. Some have said that this is necessary for location based wifi to work, but others not, and to my way of thinking, location based wifi should turn wifi off whenever out of range of saved network, and add long as phone has some way of knowing where it is to wake up wifi, then it shouldn't matter which location modality it uses. Can anyone shed any light on this? Google's not being very helpful. Thanks

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    You do need to have data turned on and as such you must also have Stamina mode turned off for this to work sorry.

  • 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

  • Location based reminders not working in IOS8 on iphone 5s, please help?

    Location based reminders are not working when using Siri since upgrading to IOS8. Asking Siri to "remind me when I get home" also turns off reminders in Location Services. Please help

    I have the same issue with Siri turning off the location setting for reminders.  In fact my location based reminders do not work at all. IPhone 5s, ios 8.1, upgraded to 8.1.1 and that did not fix these issues.
    SEems like Apple does not test the location setting every other upgrade to iOS. They break it, then fix it then break it etc...

  • Location based WiFi not working

    When I'm not at home I keep my xperia WiFi turned off. When I come home it doesn't turn automatically on even if I got my home WiFi registered on my phone! I always have to do that manually. Of course I have the option ON in "location based WiFi". Could somebody help me, please?

    You may need to perform a software repair using PC companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
    Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).
    All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

  • Location based reminder not working?

    I'm unable to create a reminder that is location based if the location is not in the address book. Is this normal?
    For example, I can't say: remind me to get xxx when arriving at walmart: I would expect it to ask which walmart and then specific or even specify which walmart from the beginning but Siri only says it does not understand. Can this not be done?

    Yeah, has to be in the address book. If you want to add places you don't really want address cards for you could put them in a separate group, then just ignore that group when viewing.

  • Location based query not working Urgent!!!

    Hi
    I m using orcacle8.1.6 and i m not able to execute the foll query..
    select /*+ordered*/ c.customer_id,
    c.cust_first_name,
    c.cust_last_name,
    sdo_nn_distance (1) distance from warehouses w,
    customers c where w.warehouse_id = 2
    and sdo_nn (c.cust_geo_location, w.wh_geo_location, 'sdo_num_res=5', 1) = 'TRUE'
    order by distance;
    Its giving me error @ sdo_nn_distance as invalid column name...i think it might be problem with version..
    if its so...
    can somebody suggest me a query to fetch five customers closest to the warehouse whose warehouse ID is 2 in this case...
    Thanks in advance..

    As you've guessed, this is a version issue. You need to be running 9i to have access to sdo_nn_distance.
    You should be able to do this in 8.1.6:
    select /*+ordered*/ c.customer_id,
    c.cust_first_name,
    c.cust_last_name,
    sdo_geom.sdo_distance(cust_geo_location,a.diminfo, wh_geo_location,b.diminfo) distance
    from warehouses w, customers c,
    user_sdo_geom_metadata a, user_sdo_geom_metadata b
    where w.warehouse_id = 2
    and sdo_nn (c.cust_geo_location, w.wh_geo_location, 'sdo_num_res=5', 1) = 'TRUE'
    and a.table_name='CUSTOMERS'
    and a.column_name='CUST_GEO_LOCATION'
    and a.table_name='WAREHOUSES'
    and a.column_name='WH_GEO_LOCATION'
    order by distance;

  • Does location based services (LBS) work for international locations (outside the USA)?

    Does location based services (LBS) work for international locations (outside the USA)? For example does it work in Canada, European countries etc. Any help is appreciated.

    Yes, but possibly limited to coverage of Skyhook database..
    Applications that use location services also use the data from Skyhook...
    Skyhook is a service that records the MAC addresses of Cell Base stations/towers and wireless access points.
    Google Maps vehicles records the wireless AP data at the same time they get street view images.
    There was some controversy over this - but they effectively record the location and the MAC address of any AP they find as they drive round. This gets sent to a massive database at Skyhook and is used to either locate without GPS or enhance/aid the GPS information. It's also why the location is always the road outside!
    If your location/MAC relationship has not been mapped by Skyhook, Google or others - then the good news is that you can add it - although it can take a month or two at least - to work. The reason is that it depends which database is being used by Skyhook's clients..
    Add your Wireless Access Point (or Wireless Router) here: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/submit_ap.php
    The main website for Skyhook is here: http://www.skyhookwireless.com
    Hope that helps...!

  • IPhone 6 location services/gps not working

    Anyone else have an issue with iPhone 6 location services/gps not working? I have had it happen to me twice where it stopped working for good 7 or 8 hours and then all of sudden it starts working again. For example, directions don't work, every time I open Apple Maps it will say "Cannot determine location", then when I press the location icon on the bottom left, it will try to search again and have an approximate location but not exact, where as the iPad that I have right next to it is able to pin point the exact location. Sometimes the location circle is pulsing blue sometimes its gray. If I am driving and have tracking on it won't track, and so on.  I have tried to setup the phone as new without restoring the backup, when it stopped working with no luck, it still didn't work. I went and restore it back from backup and few hours later it started to work again. This has happened twice now since I got the phone last Friday.

    Check your "Privacy" settings on your iPhone see what apps are using your location.

  • Location switching does not work on Vista

    Hi, my location switching does not work.  I have reinstalled my Access Connection several time but still does not work. I have several profiles and I need to switch manually depending on my location profile. My Access Connetion however seem to know the right profile (dot  next to the profile indicate it picked up the right wireless signal) but never connect to the profile
    Is there any Vista feature that is controlling the access as well? Do I need to disable? I remember the older version of Access Connection will ask to disaable some windows services when using Access connection.
    My Config is
    - R61
    - Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG. File Version 11.1.1.16
    - OS Vista 32 Business - with up to date patches

  • Printer not working following iPad uodate

    Printer not working following iPad upgrade

    Hi,
    Is the printer not mechanically working or are you having a problem with printing wirelessly from your device? Was the upgrade to the ipad software or did you get a new ipad?
    Try restarting your apple device - It's a simple fix that sometimes helps re-establish the connection to the printer.
    Other things to check would be that there have been no recent changes to the wifi password.

  • File- Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13

    File->Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13.
    I downloaded sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213.ZIP and extract to a local directory. From the extracted directory I ran ..\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe from Windows XP sp2. The program itself seems to run just fine but File-Print doesn't do anything. In Help-About, Java Platform is reported as 1.5.0_06 and Oracle IDE is 1.2.1.3213. I'm not sure where to look for what is causing the problem.
    Thanks

    I hadn't tried CTRL-P before but I did today. On the first attempt, I saw a small jump in the memory usage for sqldeveloper.exe as reported in Windows Task Manager. Otherwise, there was no change. A second CTRL-P in the same session produced a further bump but subsequent attempts in the same session produced no further change in CPU or Memory Usage.
    Using Task Manager to monitor this further, I tried File->Print again and saw that sqldeveloper would periodically climb to 1 or 2 percent CPU and consume a little more memory. After a minute or so, though, all activity stops again.
    I do not get a print dialog box from SQLDeveloper using either CTRL-P or File->Print
