Need help to proper setup HPLaserjet 2100 as it has been printing garbage!

I am new to MacOs. I have had all this time with me an HP Laser 2100 with LPT ports for my old PC. With the PC being junked, I purchased a cable adapter from the printer to USB for my ibookG4. The cable comes with a driver for MacOs. Have it installed, plugin the printer and it was recognized by my ibook.
However, when i started to print, garbled results. I saw a similar post on Garbled Printing on the discussion forum but it is for Macbook instead for ibook. Similar problems, printing one page results in several pages with garbled message. Seems something to do with the driver itself. Any suggestions appreciated.
Rgds,

Use the driver HP Laserjet 6 Series, CUPS + Gimp-Print.
Since we're talking about an OS X software function here, advice for for one computer model usually applies to other models.

Need help accessing the router web page. I have been told my router is acting like a switch and the IP address is not in the proper range. I have tried reseting the router (hold for 30 sec and unplug for 5 mins). Didn't work.
thanks

What router are you using? Almost all Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the default local IP address, but there is at least one that uses 192.168.16.1 , namely the WTR54GS (not the WRT54GS).
You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank (note: a few Linksys routers have a default user name of "admin" (with no quotes)), and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

I need to know how to delete the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded it tonight and my computer doesn't have that little edit bar to work with so I can download the proper Adobe player and my internet has been screwed up ever since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I just want the old version of it back since I apparently can't download the Adobe stuff that is necessary to keep my computer safe from Hackers. It sure would have been nice to know there was an issue with the new Firefox Update BEFORE I uploaded it. I have Vista which is usually an issue with both Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run much of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app. I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind. I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far. I have gone to my app folder and tried to update my iPhoto Library. I have gone to my trash and brought it over to my desktop and still cannot use it. Please help!

Try this fix discovered by User photosb189:
From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
Select Library from the drop down menu
Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old), unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto.

Text etched out of historical document, I need help re-exposing the ink. Some areas have been written over.

I have a really interesting dilemma that I really need some assistance with.
I took a 8 panoramic photographs of 8 individual lines of text and I need some help to re-expose the old words.
The images can be downloaded from my flickr album.
The photos I have posted show written text from an 18th century MIT professor's journal. The professor was fired and historians would like to know why. The only problem is... the professor had etched out crucial words/names to keep us from knowing what was originally written. In some cases, he etched out old words and rewrote newer words in there place.
Please download and play with the image and let me know if you have been successful. -or- let me know what I have to do to pull out the ink.
Thank you all so much!

Thank you for your response.
The image was shot with the Canon 6D in conjunction with our Macropod photomacrography system and the images are shown as they exist on the page.
I work closely with the researcher who needs to interpret this journal and I know that the faded ink has been neither transferred from the next page -or- stamped from the previous for two reasons.
1) The images are very high in resolution. If you download the full size image, you can see down the fibers in the paper. The ink is only shown on the surface of the fibers (this indicates a stamp as you suggest).
2) It is not a stamp or a transfer because we can look at what is written on the previous and following pages and they do not match the writing. We also see the words slanted as they should be.
This author is notorious for etching out ink. He even describes his technique in century old texts in Cambridge. He used a tool made of graded glass and and a pick in conjunction with minor amounts of a solution. However, some remnant ink still exists where it has been removed. Furthermore, he only removed words that contain critical information such as names. In some cases, there is also a small imprint superimposed onto the marks from the etching. However, 200 years of rebound was enough to make this extremely difficult to see.
If you can convince yourself that the subtle ink splotches are, in fact, words that have been removed from the page that is gown (as we have convinced ourselves over the past year after hours of examination) you will help us achieve our goal.
I've used techniques such as color-inversion, leveling, extreme contrast, but I have limited photoshop knowledge about how to best analyze and process these images in order to achieve the solution.
I thank you for your continued help and I would be very happy to see what you can ultimately deduce.

HT4859 I need purchased itunes on my changed iphon although contacts has been restored

I needpurchased itunes on my changed iphon although contacts has been restored?

What you are supposed to do is to maintain a backup of your iTunes library (and indeed any other data you care about) so that if something goes wrong with your computer and it needs to be repaired, or you decide to upgrade to a new computer, you can then restore those backup files to your new or repaired system.
If you have an iPod/iPhone etc. with your purchases on then this post from forum regular Zevoneer might help.
Users in the US now have a ability to redownload previous purchases. Hopefully Apple will negotiate this right for the rest of the world as they roll out their iCloud service but right now your remaining option is to ask nicely (start with the Report a Problem link in your account history). There have been reports that, on occasion, iTunes Store staff will grant a second download of your previously purchased content, although they are not obliged to do so.

Hi gurus,
I have been getting this warning for a while but I can't find a way to get rid of it.
Fri Apr 08 10:29:04 2011
WARNING: The user_dump_dest init.ora parameter has been deprecated.
WARNING: Please remove the user_dump_dest parameter from the init.ora file.
WARNING: The diagnostic_dest init.ora parameter now determines the location of the diagnostic data
WARNING: The new location for the user logs and traces is c:\oracle\diag\rdbms\orcl\orcl\trace
I looked at the init.ora and init_SID.ora file and the pfile but I do not see this parameter. The only places I see this parameter user_dump_dest is through the show parameter user_dump_dest is SQL*Plus and the EM Initialization Parameters, and they both show c:\oracle\diag\rdbms\orcl\orcl\trace.
Please help me fix this warning.
Thank you!
Ben

Starting in Oracle11g we not longer have many of the original OFA file system structures and we see that the ancient dump destination init.ora parms (core_dump_dest, background_dump_dest, user_dump_dest) are placed by a single diagnostic_dest parameter, the place to go when Oracle wants to take a dump.
You can use the new initialization parameter diagnostic_dest to specify an alternative location for the diag directory contents.
As of Oracle Database 11g Release 1, the diagnostics for each database instance are located in a dedicated directory, which can be specified through the DIAGNOSTIC_DEST initialization parameter. The structure of the directory specified by DIAGNOSTIC_DEST is as follows:
<diagnostic_dest>/diag/rdbms/<dbname>/<instname>
This location is known as the Automatic Diagnostic Repository (ADR) Home. For example, if the database name is proddb and the instance name is proddb1, the ADR home directory would be <diagnostic_dest>/diag/rdbms/proddb/proddb1.
The following files are located under the ADR home directory:
Trace files - located in subdirectory <adr-home>/trace
Alert logs - located in subdirectory <adr-home>/alert. In addition, the alert.log file is now in XML format, which conforms to the Oracle ARB logging standard.
Core files - located in the subdirectory <adr-home>/cdumd
Incident files - the occurrence of each serious error (for example, ORA-600, ORA-1578, ORA-7445) causes an incident to be created. Each incident is assigned an ID and dumping for each incident (error stack, call stack, block dumps, and so on) is stored in its own file, separated from process trace files. Incident dump files are located in <adr-home>/incident/<incdir#>. You can find the incident dump file location inside the process trace file.

I need help with proper DNS setup for 10.5.8 Server

I'm administering a 10.5.8 server that I sold and setup about a year ago. I'm experiencing issues with getting iCal server to be happy. All of the clients are running 10.5.8, but I'm running 10.6.1. I've heard from others that connecting iCal in 10.6 to a 10.5 iCal Server should be no problem.
I'm beginning to think that I have DNS issues. Probably because I'm not and never have been 100% certain how to set it up completely correctly. I used to be able to get Kerberos tickets, but now I can't. With the new "Ticket Viewer" in 10.6, it asks for two bits of information. First is "Identity" where I'm guessing I should put [email protected] and then password. When I do this I get an alert dialog that says "Kerberos Error -- cannot resolve network address for KDC in realm example.com"
The server is a Mac Pro tower with two Ethernet ports. En2 is connected directly to the Internet and has a static IP with a domain name assigned to it. We'll call it "example.com" for the purposes of the discussion. The En1 is connected to the network switch and has a static LAN IP of 192.168.1.250. All clients inside and outside are able to reach the server via domain name for WWW & AFP, no problem.
nslookup on the static IP address returns "example.com" and nslookup on "example.com" returns the correct static IP address. Open Directory is running and happy including Kerberos. The LDAP search base is "dc=example,dc=com". The LDAP search base is a concept I haven't quite grasped, so I'm just going to assume it's correct.
The domain name is hosted outside by a service provider that forwards all "example.com" requests to the server with the exception of mail.
In DNS, I have three "sections" that look like this:
Name Type Value
1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. Reverse Zone -
192.168.1.250 Reverse Mapping example.com.
000.000.00.in-addr.arpa. Reverse Zone -
000.000.000.000 Reverse Mapping example.com.
com. Primary Zone -
mail.example.com. Alias mail.our-email-isp.com.
example.com. Machine Multiple values
www.example.com. Machine Multiple values
NOTE: the zeros aren't actually zeros, they are the static IP assigned to the server/domain
When I select the top element "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa." down below "Allows zone transfer" is NOT checked. Nameservers shows the zone as "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa." and the Nameserver Hostname as "ns.example.com."
When I select the next line down "192.168.1.250", Resolve 192.168.1.250 to: example.com.
When I select the "000.000.00.in-addr.arpa." element, it has the same settings -- nameservers "000.000.00.in-addr.arpa." and "ns.example.com."
When I select the next line down (our static IP), Resolve 000.000.000.000 to: example.com.
When I select "com." the admin email is populated with a valid email address, Allows zone transfer is NOT checked. In nameservers, Zone is "com." and Nameserver Hostname is "example.com." The mail exchangers are mail2.our-email-isp.com. priority 10 and mail.our-email-isp.com. and priority 20.
When I select the machine "example.com." it shows both the real-world static IP and the 192.168.1.250, same with "www.example.com.".
Am I doing something wrong with this setup? Should "com." be the primary zone or should that be "example.com." ???
I've been thinking about getting rid of the DNS entry for the 192.168.1.250 address altogether, but will the clients in the office suffer performance issues??? I do not think that the client workstations are configured to get DNS from the server anyway. Should the "www.example.com." record be a Machine record or should it be an alias record?
Any help you have to offer is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
In the meantime, I'm going to look around and see if I can understand "Allows zone transfer" and LDAP Search base a bit better.

Okay, I found a lovely article at the following address which I think helps me to clarify what I'm doing wrong. Despite that, I'd still like to have any feedback you have to offer.
http://www.makemacwork.com/configure-internal-dns-1.htm
Also, when editing DNS entries, Server Admin likes to set the nameserver to "ns." -- whatever your domain is. Should I be overriding that and if so, replace it with what?
