Must I print out a new Alignment Page with each new cartridge?

Do I need to print out a new Alignment Page with each new cartridge I install on my HP Photosmart C4480? Or can I save and reuse the initial one I got when first installing my printer cartridges? The Alignment pages all seem to be identical when I print them out with each new cartridge I install, but I'm not examining them with a microscope.
If I can save and reuse the Alignment page with sucessive cartridge replacements, when I am following the procedure for installing a new cartridge and the printer prompts me to print out a new Alignment page, is there an option to skip that step? I don't recall seeing that option on the control panel window on the printer.
Thank you!

YOU DO NOT NEED A NEW ALIGNMENT PAGE EVERY TIME YOU INSTALL A NEW CARTRIDGE
I registered just to respond to this
The alignment pages all look the same because they are all the same, pretty sure its a scam to let you use ink. [snip]
I am pretty sure you do not understand what the alignment page is for - it provides information for alignment of black vs. color and also is used to calibrate the operating energy for the color cartridge.
You may be able to "fool" the printer by reusing an old alignment page, but the quality will suffer as you will not be running at the optimum energy.
You are certainly free to do what you want with your printer but please do not mislead others with misinformation.

Office Pro 8000: Can't Print/Out of Ink Error even after installing new cartridge.

When I tried to use my printer a few days ago, I received a "Can't Print: Out of Ink" error message concerning the magenta cartridge. I had used the printer a few days before that, and had not received a low ink warning. It seemed suspicious to me that I would have received an empty cartridge error message without first receiving a low cartridge warning. The yellow and cyan cartridges read 70% full - all 3 were original cartridges.
I purchased a new 940XL magenta cartridge and installed it per instructions. Now I am getting a message that the new 940XL cartridge is empty. I can shake the old 940 cartridge and hear liquid inside. Obviously, the new cartridge is also full. I've tried cycling power, reinstalling the software, etc, with no change in status. If I swap back and forth between the old 940 and new 940XL cartridge, they are properly identified by type on my screen as the 940 or 940XL. Due to the way the problem has presented itself, I don't believe it is a cartridge issue.
Of course, problem first arouse on May 8th, and my warrantee expired April 26th. Any suggestions?

I've solved my own problem, which was clearly a factory assembly defect. I looked inside my printer with a flashlight in the area where the ink cartridges are installed, and found magenta ink sprayed inside the printer. I disassembled the printer, and found that the magenta line had been damaged during assembly. There are four ink tubes which exit from behind the ink cartridges, then make a U turn back toward the front of the printer. Just after the U turn, they make another bend up-wards. It is at this point that I found the damaged magenta line, directly above a screw on the right-hand side of the ink cartridge housing. The lines are in a very narrow passage, and are held in place by several keepers molded out of plastic. It appears that the lines were put in place in the keepers, then the screw inserted from above. As I said, it is a very tight passage, and it would be very easy to damage the ink line at that point if the lines weren't carefully held back to insert the screw during assembly.
To solve the problem, I removed approximately 1/4 inch of damaged magenta ink line. I carefully cut the line with a sharp razor, to prevent collapsing the line or causing burrs to the tubing. I then placed about 3/4" of self-sealing heat shrink tubing over one end of the ink line. Next I spliced the line with a small piece of stiff plastic tubing from the handle of a cotton swab, which was a perfect, snug fit over the ink line. Being careful not to collapse the ink tube or cause further damage, I gently twisted the ink line back and forth until the ends were butted up inside the cotton swab splice. I then positioned the heat-shrink tubing over the splice, and shrunk it with a hair dryer. The heat-shrink tubing I used has hot-melt glue applied to the inside, which further aided in making a leak-proof splice. Again, there is not a lot of room, so the splice had to be kept small.
I reassembled the printer, reinstalled the ink cartridges, and powered up the printer. After the normal, long start-up delay, I printed several full-color test sheets, and all was fine. The magenta cartridge that I had installed previously now shows that it is full, and the remaining cartridges also read the levels that they had prior to disassembly.

I would like to print out the icon and title of each of my apps to another document for printing and sharing within my family

I would like to print out the icon and title of each of my IOS apps to another document for printing and sharing within my family. My son has my old iPod touch so I erased it so he could put whatever games he wants to play on that I used to play with. It is difficult to download every game at one time because there is too much to download at one time. I have many hundreds of apps. One way I found was to create a screen grab of each page in iTunes then open it in Preview contact sheet but that is really tiny unreadable image of each screen. I also tried importing a screen shot of the contact sheet into Paint 2 and magnifying it on several pages but that is really blurry. The ideal solution would be to import the icon and text to another app or to provide a print list of apps solution within iTunes.

Create iPad screen shots by briefly pressing the home and on/off buttons together. You will hear a shutter click sound and find a screen shot on your iPad's Camera Roll. You can then print these screen shots as you would any iPad photos.
UPDATE: I assumed you had an iPad. Hopefully your iOS device does have an on/off and home button and is capable of producing screen shots.

E-recruiting - Customizing external candidate start page with a new start p

Hi ,
I require some inputs from you on creation of new start page for external candidate.
I have a requirement to hide Age / Gender fields in the Personal data tab of the external candidate application wizard in the external candidate start page.
I Created a new start page with I.D "9001" and using customized context i was able to hide the Age and Gender fields. The URL using the customized context looked like below;
http://XXXXXX.XX.XXXXXXXXX.XXX:8053/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_ext?sap-client=300&sap-language=EN&rcfSpId=9000&rcfContext=NAEXT
The external candidate start page requires the following services assignment to a service user;
hrrcf_apply_ext: Apply with Reference Code (Non Registered Candidate)
hrrcf_cand_reg: External Candidate, Registration
hrrcf_unrg_srch: Non Registered Candidate, Job Search
The service user requires SAP standard role u201CRCF_EXTERNAL_CANDIDATEu201D to provide access to any external candidate to do a job search and register. This role in standard would have application object u201C0002u201D u2013 Standard external candidate start page I.D which would provide access to the start page.
We have cloned the role to include the customized application object u201C9001u201D and have assigned it to the service user.
But even after doing this i get an error message when trying to execute the URL in IE which reads "You do not have the required authorisation to use this start page"
Iam not sure if iam missing anything on the authorisation part. Please advise.
Thanks
G Raj

Hello G Raj,
it seems you are mixing some things up. The service user is only for all parts of the e-recruiting which are accessable without logging in. This includes services linked to the unregistered search and the registration (where the applicant creates his candidate / his login). The service user is no candidate and has a special role (must not have a candidate object or the candidate authorization role).
As soon as someone logs into the system, e.g. to his start page, he acts as candidate. Depending on his relation to a P object he is either an external or an internal candidate.
In your example we are talking about external candidates. These candidates get a reference user assigned on candidate creation which is customized for the external candidate role (here the e-recruiting role) in IMG. Usually it is called RCF_CAND_EXT. The SAP delivery role (here the authorization role) this reference user gets is SAP_RCF_EXTERNAL_CANDIDATE (as long as you are using BSP). You have to copy this role to a customer one and replace the value 0002 of auth object P_RCF_APPL (Application in E-Recruiting) by your customer one 9000.
Then everything should work fine.
Best regards
Roman Weise

How can i print a AdvancedDataGrid in multiple pages with ColumnHeaders?

Hi all,
I need to print a AdavancedDataGrid in multiple pages with columnheaders in all pages.
Rite now, i can able to print column headers in first page only.
is there any chance to split the ADG into multiple pages with columnheaders??
Thanks in Advance
Shravan.

Shardul,
Thanks for your help.
Your logic is working fine when i have a single datagrid.
What i'm doing here is, i took a VBox(playout) and printing 2 ADG's in that,so the column headers of 2nd ADG are not printing when it continues to next page.
Here is the sample code:
custComp1
custComp2 are ADG's
<mx:VBox id="playout" width="100%" visible="false" includeInLayout="false"></mx:VBox>
private function preparePrint():void{
var x:custComp1 = new custComp1();
var y:custComp2 = new custComp2();
x.dataProvider = arrayColl1;
playout.addChild(x);
if(arrayColl2 >=1){
playout.addChild(y);
y.dataprovider = arryColl2;
while(y.adg.validNextPage){
playout.addChild(y);
y.adg.nextPage();
private function doPrint(event:Event):void{
var printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
if(printJob.start()) {
playout.includeInLayout = true;
playout.visible = true;
printJob.addObject(playout);
printJob.send();
playout.visible = false;
playout.includeInLayout = false;
is there any way to get column headers when we use printing multiple ADG's in a VBox?

All of the music on my Ipod Touch is blown out after I synched it with my new MacBook. I didn't get the 'synch' warning-- but now can't find my library of songs. I'm about to panic!

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. Thes those iTunes are not restored to the iPod unless they are in the iTunes library.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I have been using Itunes Apps for some time. Today I signed to Itunes to get Apps updated. Apple said I must update my account. I did that with a new password. Itunes said invalid support. Now what can I do?

What do you mean "invalid support"? What EXACTLY did it say? Did it say you had an unsupported SIM after updating the firmware on your phone?

How do I get back the "old" new tab page with 9 tiles instead of 8?

I find the 8/12 tiles (If pressed Ctrl+scrollwheel down) annoying, is there any way the get the classic "new tab" page with 9 tiles back?
Ps I already tried changing the number of colums (5 to 3) about:config / browser.newtabpage.colums I got 9 tiles but it looks awful

Thanks for that.
But how do I get it back as it was..... before they messed it up?
I don't want smaller text.
And, as I said in my first post, NewTabTools deletes the Google Search Frame. (which i want)
I just want my 9 tiles (at least) with the Google search form...'''.as it was'''.

New Home Page (with EMail Previews)

Two of our email subaccounts are not getting the new email home page, where the preview of your emails are listed. In the last few days once in every few days the new email homepage appears.The next time we go to the page it is the old home page with previews of the email. The only individual who always gets the new home page with the preview of their email is the main account holder. Can someone explain why this is happening?

Have you tried to see if the same thing happens when you access the accounts from another computer?

Any tricks to swapping out my old time capsule with a new airport extreme I am also using airport expresses

Any tricks to swapping out my old time capsule with a new airport extreme I am also using airport expresses? The hard drive on the TC quit working.

I do plan on using an external USB HDD for time machine backups. I have both 802.11g and 802.11n used for playing music via stereos.
I would recommend against it. Apple does not support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks (USB HDD attached to the AirPort Extreme). Although folks have done so, we get a number of them here asking for help with their corrupted backups. If your backups are critical to you, please use another means (like connecting the USB HDD directly to your Mac) to do so.

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

how do I connect TC to a new ethernet and share a new ethernet DSL with a new PC and use with my macbook Pro? I tried and get no internet on the PC or Macbook Pro?

Ok.
I am connected to wi-fi through TC connected to a specific router and is working perfectly and saving data through TM without any issues.
The TC version is 7.6.1 and am using OS 10.7.3
The router mode is on Bridge mode and router is connected to TC through USB cable, I suppose for internet access. My Mac is on wi-fi through TC
I have another location, much further, which recently have been installed with wi-fi through router that has WPA accessibiulity with password, 100% different than the current one.
Since, I will be most of my time in this new location, I wish to move my TC to this new location, and configure it in similar fashion like what I am having right now.
Naturally, I do not wish to lose any saved data on the TC.
Hope I managed to provide enought info.
Thanks in advance
