Need a printer recommendation for a small office

hey folks, hoping someone might be able to suggest a recommendation for our business. We’ve had an OkiData color laser printer that’s lasted over 6 years but it’s been giving us some trouble over the last year and yesterday it stopped printing with an error we can’t resolve. Would have to bring a tech in to fix and we’d basically already decided that once this thing bit the dust we’d move on to something else. It’s time.
We are looking for something in the $200-$400 range, would consider going a little higher if it was clearly worth it. We want something that connects wireless, prints quickly and reliably in Snow Leopard over an Airport Extreme network, decent color print quality is important but doesn’t have to be photo quality (we have an HP Photosmart for that kind of stuff), and it needs to have reasonable printing cost per page. We don’t print a tremendous amount of stuff, but we probably go through 100-200 pages a day and it adds up.
Was looking at the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless and that looks like a nice unit except half the people who buy one hate it. Looks like HP quality control is lacking and if you get a good unit, great, but the odds are good you’ll get a lousy one.
Also looking at the Brother HL-3070CW, but reviews say it has a high consumable cost.
Basically, the more I look into this the more I head spins and now I've got myself wrapped around the axle and don’t know what to do.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

I would steer clear of the 500 express. Since you seem to be new to cisco products, I would use the opportunity and buy what most of your potential customers already have. Get yourself a pix/asa and a 2900 series switch as first poster suggested. If you are interested in certifications, you will need to learn the command line interface. The 500 express will do you no good as it is all gui. This is only my opinion of course. Oh, and did I see not expensive and cisco in the same sentence. :)

Need home theatre recommendations

Just purchased a new 50" plasma TV, (was a birthday present for my wife :-)) and am now starting the process of upgrading other components. Need blu-ray, DVD, audio refresh too (my receiver/amp combo unit is a 30 year old Kenwood!).
I am not going to spend mega bucks to do this... but want current technology. We mostly are TV watchers, but with new better TV will probably move into blu-ray now too. Have old DVD,s and would want the "upconvert" as well as a way to dock in and listen from iPods...
Some recommendations? From just reading through a handful of posts on this site, this looks like a great place to hear what's relevant! Thanks!

ahhh the I want the bang but dont want to spend the bucks......ok....entry level then........
DVD Player: Samsung BDP-1600 Can be had for around $150 online
Onkyo Home Theater In A Box (HTIB): Can be had online for around $400 to $500
Onkyo system will act as your control station. Cable box, DVD, Video game system etc would plug into it and then only 1 HDMI cord to the TV...save for alot of longs wires. All sources would upconvert.
Best deal is likely $550.....
Higher end is likely $700

Beginner in need of book recommendation

I'm a beginner to CS3 Flash and in need of book or tutorial
recommendations. I have the Flash "Classroom in a Book" and it's
been somewhat helpful. However, a lot of what I want to do, is
import parts of a collage print from CS3 photoshop and animate
them. I am having problems with importing layers from Photoshop and
animating these layers in Flash. Are there any books or tutorials
that go into more detail on this aspect of flash? The other book
that I'm thinking about is Peachpit's Adobe Flash CS3 Professional
Hands-On Training. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lou

Yes, the question makes perfect sense.
Fireworks is a graphics program. The HTML that Fireworks
produces is intended for prototypes - quick examples you can show
people to see if you're on the right track with a design. The
Fireworks HTML is not robust enough to use for a production site.
What you want to do is use either a program that's designed for
creating robust HTML (such as Dreamweaver) or learn to write HTML
by hand in a text editor. It isn't really that hard.
What you have now is a mess. It would be impossible to
maintain. Just looking at your file info%20links.HTML is a
nightmare. It doesn't need to look like that...and it shouldn't.
(Also, naming conventions. That %20 is what happens to spaces in
your file name. It's better to remove spaces or use hyphens
instead. Underscores are okay, but they tend to get lost if a file
name is also a link and becomes underlined. Use lowercase for file
extensions.)
Even if you have Dreamweaver or another Web authoring
program, you really ought to learn what it is you're doing. Check

earlier thread for some recommendations.
Good luck!

Need graphics card recommendation

So I've just ordered a new model MBP 15" Retina, upgrading the 2.0 ghz i7 quadcore to 2.3, and doubling the RAM to 16 gb. This includes the 256 gb flash HD, and the new default config Intel Iris Pro graphics card (no NVIDIA graphics card). FWIW, I'll be plugged into my thunderbolt display (already own) for video editing.
The new MBP is of course a hefty hit to my pocketbook. Yet, I'm still torn by the notion that for $250 (I get the educational discount) I could go ahead and add the NVIDIA 750 2 gb card, not to mention doubling my HD (mainly to future-proof it - I only use about 122 gb right now).
Is it worth it or is Iris Pro good enough for FCPX, and presumably some Motion 5, Compressor etc?
I haven't edited in years, but I have just returned from Nepal, where I shot several hours of HD footage that I'm going to be editing together with stills for a doc. I'm a writer-filmmaker, so if it comes out as I hope it will, this will be a professional sample and festival submission. I have no clue how much use of Motion or After Effects I'll need to use - in fact I have no clue how to use these, but presumably I'll figure it out. Some of the footage has issues, it was all shot run and gun, so it could be I'll use that stuff a lot.
Do I need the NVIDIA 750 card or can I rest easy with just Iris Pro?
Thanks so much for advice either way!!

I have a 2TB backup drive and a 6TB RAID network storage. I load new video directly onto the backup drive to save hard drive space on the iMac, then copy it to the RAID for safekeeping. I can wipe it from the backup when I'm done with it, and still have two copies on the network RAID. I consider this to be the minimum for HD.
I ended up with about five hours of AVCHD footage that I had to sort through to pick out the little morsels I needed, along with some .MOV files from a DSLR. I'm not sure how much space it took up when I converted the AVCHD into .MOV files, but I started out with about 650GB available (after clearing it off) and now I have about 150 GB. That includes what FCPX generated as I edited. I don't want to go below that 150GB level, as the processing performance drops. I keep the .MOV files on the main hard drive because that's the quickest access. I keep a sharp eye on the capacity.
Fortunately I did well enough on this project that it got me a lot more work. Unfortunately, if I decide to pursue it more seriously I know I'll have to get a better system. I'm already looking at the new Mac Pro with at least 32 Gs of RAM, the biggest internal hard drive available, and a massive Thunderbolt RAID. With the deadlines I've run into, it's the only way I'll be able to get things done without staying up until 4 a.m. waiting for stuff to transfer (I got this iMac just before they started coming out with Thunderbolt, darn it). If I had to choose, I'd get more hard drive storage versus more RAM. In my experience, 16GB does OK, but then I haven't had to render anything longer than ten minutes in HD.
If you use Time Machine for back-up onto the 1TB external drive, you're probably going to have to get an additional drive. I would recommend one to two TB depending on how big your final files are. If you decide to RAID that second external drive-- highly recommended-- then you'd need to get double that. Get a Thunderbolt splitter so you can run both of them at the same time. If you need to convert the RAW files, keep those on the second drive.
Very best of luck, and send us a link to the piece when you are done. -JB

Need a scanner recommendation for slides

(Not sure if this is the correct forum, but here goes)
Any recommendations for a scanner that will do slides? I've got my father-in-laws slides from the last 20 years and want to scan them, but can't quite figure what scanner would do the job. I don't need (nor want to spend $) on an auto feeder, but would like to be able to scan at least 4 slides at a time. I've got old photos and negatives that I'll be scanning as well, and would spend up to $400. Thanks!!

YMMV but I just finished scanning over 1200 color 35 mm slides from the 60's and 70's for eventual prinitng and use in my scrapbooks. I have an Epson 4870 scanner and I can scan 40 slides an hour using it. It works well. The price is a bit more, $440 or so, but the advantages are worth it.
If you have 2.25 x 2.25 glass slides you will have to build your own slide holder to scan them.
I got the scanner originally for a major scanning project for the local historical society of about 1500 5 x 7 glass plate negatives from the early 1900's. It's doing good archival quality scans of these materials as well as archival scans of our other historical negatives, about 2000 nitrate negatives of our local area. It's a low end professional scanner but IMO worth every penny.
For info on digital imaging help you might want to take a look here:
http://www.cdpheritage.org/
The best practices document on digital imaging is excellent for all the issues you will face and need to deal with. Geared towards historical collections it's still useful for personal stuff.
The Epson SW and scanner works well on the Mac. I just upgraded to Tiger, and it still is working, unlike many other items. <G>
I use Photoshop CS for histogram evaluations, image processing and thumbnail creation for the historical negatives but have just used the files as scanned for my scrapbook images.

Need a calendar recommendation

I've had my iphone for about a week and love it but I'm not a fan of the calendar that came on it. So I'm looking for app recommendations. I need the ability to set a custom repeat (ie every 3rd day, Tue/Thur, MWF). Syncing with a web-based calendar would be nice but not totally necessary since I have my phone with me at all times. If you have recommendations of calendar apps that will do this please share. Thanks in advance.

You're welcome!

Need data retrieval recommendations for the UK only please

Hey folks.
I just wanted to say that I had a problem with strange sounds off my hard disk, the lengthy restarts and problems waking up the computer after battery being empty and finally my hard disk died completely.
With 17 months under its belt this Hitachi 80GB hard disk ought not to have died but this happens. Sadly I was ABOUT to back up (isn't that always the way?) but had not managed (due to the problems) and so lost some EXTREMELY valuable data. ie photos (numbering 400 and about 600 others) of my grandfather who was taken into hospital for heart failure aged 91 on the VERY SAME DAY.
Now- I am NOT letting this hard disk go. I have been told by the kind but very slow (Apple took over a fortnight to send them a replacement disk and they had it for 16 days in the end- I went mad) folk who repaired it, it is the mechanism which failed and not the platters which melted or otherwise warped.
So- this means that the chances of data retrieval are high. BUT- I have had one quote from the firm they recommended and was told it could be as much as £1,300 on the slowest service. Now, as you will appreciate, there IS no value which can be placed on such precious things as memories of a loved one but SURELY there is a chance that someone here has knowledge of a more- erm- cost efficient method?
LOOOOONG story short: Can you recommend anyone in the UK area who does a good job retrieving data from what has been deemed a high probability recovery?
Anything I need to know about the subject? All I can tell you is that this WILL involve removing the platters from the mechanism and placing them to another, functioning one with the probability of needing to back up in the region of 20GB.
Your help in this is so very gratefully received. I am thankful you users are here to hold my hand on this.

Posted this under the correct header as well- 15 Powerbook. Resolved it myself- went on the net and just picked one. Was semi-successful and if you are needing info check it out- I have explained this there.

Needed: Book(s) recommendations for beginner, needing to come up to speed for complexity quickly

Hello all,
I've been kind of thrown into the need to learn LV quickly. I've gone through the LV 101 videos, and got a decent start....but need to learn more in-depth quickly. I'm looking maybe for a book on amazon, that will get me as a noob started quickly...but also, something needed beyond just the basics of trying to explain the concept of the front panel and block diagram screens....
I'm needing to get into learning how to wire up things like even structures...being able to allow the user to right click an object on the screen, present a drop down menu, and change the object based on their selection. I've posted here before looking how to do multi-colored indicators..and starting to get a grip on some of that, but still not yet...
I'm looking at an example of an older version of the app I'm trying to create and improve on...and see how they were changing a boolean indicator (they used a round one, but was flat unlike the LED shaped ones)..but they were able to change the colors of the text and control with three different background and text combinations both when it was clicked, and programatically when a trigger was pressed...etc.
I'm seeing a structure they used called a "property node" and using colors under that to change it, it appears....I need to learn to understand that....but the application I have is a bit complex for me to track and figure out everything as it flows....
I thought I'd seen a recommendation for a book on this forum called: Labview for Everyone...but that is dated 2006...would this be too old since I'm working with LabView 2011?
Anyway, I'm looking through all the stuff in the NI site's Knowledgebase....but think getting a quality book that is a bit structured taking me from basics to more complex things would be the best way for me to learn and organize my thoughts.
I've programmed (awhile back) with Delphi for Object Pascal...and some java with Eclipse. But with Delphi, I have worked with an IDE...putting object on a screen, and then setting and programming properties...but LV is a bit different, and I'm just not familiar with all the objects available to me..and the graphical programming rather than writing code in there to handle things..is a bit new to me.
Anyway, hoping ya'll can give me some good book recommendations...and any links to web info greatly appreciated too.
Thank you in advance!!

cayenne,
without giving any special suggestion, i want to point out:
Even "out dated" books can give you valuable information since the programming paradigm of LabVIEW (dataflow) is still valid.
Ok, we have to admit that information on certain elements as well as esp. performance might not be true because of the changes LV had undergone over the years (e.g. compiler changes in LV 2009/2010).
Adding to this, i urge you not only to look for technical expertise but also on "how do i approach a development task". I find this link a helpful source for this.
hope this helps,
Norbert
Thank you for the reply. I'm looking at the link and it looks informative.
I went ahead and bought the book LabView for everyone. One thing however, I read in one review, that the book is light on the topic of event driven vi''s......which is something I'm definitiely needing information on....simple examples would be even better.
Any links or book recommendations on this particular topic?
Thank you,

Need an App recommendation

I would like recommendations for the best application help me allow access to a group of documents on a shared drive from an IPhone. We use Iphones in our medicine group and I want to place some frequently used documents in a folder on a shared drive for use by physicians for reference. These documents need to be updated monthly, so I would like to keep them in one place and each time they sync up their phones the most updated documents would be in a folder on their phone. Any suggestions, comments, recommendations would be appreciated. Most of these are not tech savvy individuals, so the simpler, the better.
Thanks,

I don't think that there are applications that work exactly the way you describe, as the sync for anything that will do what you want (like AirSharing or Documents to Go) requires a manual sync process on a local network that is not all that easy. One app that will achieve the objective but not the process is EverNote (www.evernote.com). It lets you store documents on its servers that can be accessed via the Evernote client from a PC, Mac, iPhone or web browser. Another to consider that is somewhat similar is livedrive (www.livedrive.com). It also has an iPhone client that allows access to content stored on its servers.

I need a speaker recommendation for my Creative Visio

I'm off on holiday in a few weeks and want to buy some speakers for my creative Vision 30GB.
Can someone please recommend a good choice?
I need the speakers for general use to entertain in my hotel room or around the pool.
Thanks in advance.. Tom

Thanks!

Need Wireless Printer Recommendation

I've had consistently bad luck with wireless printers. We have 2 iMacs and 3 MacBooks in my house. I want to buy a good printer that can work with them all wirelessly. HP seems to subscribe to the "printer of the month" idea and don't offer support to older machines. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Ken,
HP comes out with new consumer models 1x per year the same as Canon, Epson and most others. They also have the broadest selection of WiFi printers to suit all different types of needs. Without knowing anything about what you really want besides wireless it's tough to recommend. Can you give us an idea of printing habits (photos, email, web pages, spreadsheets), scanning needs, guess of pages per month, do you want to save paper by having duplexing, etc...

Need modem router recommendation

Can anyone please recommend a good cable modem router combo that would work well with a new iMac and SnowLeopard. The one I'm renting from Charter Cable is trash and I can't get a recommendation from any resellers. It needs to have wireless capability plus at least 4 LAN wire (Ethernet) inputs for the iMac, a G4 and a PC. Plus we have a PC that connects with the wireless mode. Charter recommends Netgear but I would think any mfr. model would work. Could someone please recommend a dependable product, maybe that they are happy with? Thanks Michelle

Michelle
In no particular order:
http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/WirelessGRouters/WGR614.aspx
http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor2110.html
Both of which I've used. Reliable and work well. You could also try Apple's Airport Base Station Extreme and/or Time Capsule. Both should do a similar job. Any of the ZyXel Cable Modem Routers - P332 Range - I think? There are others I've used which I'm not going to recommend as they may be beyond your budget/skill set? I'm guessing you want something easy to configure, value for money and reliable?
Searching the Board should have given you something as this has been asked many times before.
HTH?

Need a TV recommendation

Hi, I'm currently looking to buy a nice TV, nothing too big, somewhere in the 26-32" range for gaming. I need recommendations for a TV that will NOT have the HDTV lag problem with my Xbox 360.
Thanks!

Microsoft Xbox 360 cannot output 120hZ. Before purchasing a television, you should consider some factors:
a. location to where you are going to mount it
b. screen size
c. is it only for gaming?
optimal connection from Xbox to a tv is through hdmi cable.

Need Charging Case Recommendation

I will be heading to NYC in late April for the NFL Draft and I am going to need a case for my Verizon iPhone5 that charges the phone at the same time. I will be standing in line for most of the night before the draft and then I want to make sure my phone doesn't die while I am walking around NYC with my friends prior to the draft.
So my question is, #1) are there any charging cases for iPhone 5 and #2) which is the best/Which would you recommend?

Mophie just announced a couple of models - they have a good reputation
I have something called an iContact which you can find on Amazon - has the largest battery ive seen (2500 mah)
also the company is incredible about customer service - my 1st one didnt work so they sent me another - after a couple of weeks there were problems with the 2nd one so they replaced it (and didnt require me to send the defective case abck) - and gave me a $10 credit - they also responded to emails at night and on weekends
the one i have now is workking perfectly
Also if you search iphone 5 battery cases on Amazon you will find a bunch
