Need help with a printer connected to a windows home server

I have a Windows Home Server that has a Brother laser printer connected to it via a USB cable. The printer driver is installed on the WHS and on each PC. My PCs on the network find the printer and can print to it with no problems. But, with my MBA, I'm having issues. I can see the printer as part of the server when installing/setting it up on the MBA and found the Ma printer driver from Brother and installed it on MBA. However, print jobs I send it never print out. What did I do wrong?

Your MBA should be able to detect the printer and locate the driver, install it and mount the printer. I have an HP5180 color all in one, which I have connected to my Windows PC, and my MBA sees it and prints to it just fine. Have you looked to see if Brother has a Mac driver for it?

Need help with duplicate print jobs over network that I can't cancel

I have the Photosmart Premium All-in-One on my home network. My kids who each have laptop running Windows 7 and are connected via wireless to the printer via a DLINK DIR-655.
They hit the print button too many times and it keeps printing over and over again.
Is there a way to get the printer to stop printing these duplicates. I tried turning off/on but they just keep printing.
We're wasting paper/ink and I need help with a solution.
Please let me know. Thanks.
Angelo

There should be a button with a red 'X' on it on the front of the printer. This is the print cancel button.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Need help with Outlook 2013 connecting to Exchange server(2010)

Hi
I need help with Outlook 2013 and with my exchange server(2010) email account
After setting up account initially emails come in and than after an hour or two stop. My OWA is working fine with no issues. I have even created a forward rule in OWA to my GMAIL account whch works fine
However Outlook 2013 is not syncing messages, have difficulty in sending emails sometimes as it takes too long. In fact the connection also is intermittent. Even if the task bar shows connected to exchange, it seems that is not the case since new emails
and any emails I compose dont work. I have trouble shot the issue with my ISP and email service provide, but they havent resolved the issue I have also done a TraceRoute and that shows no drops or problems to he exchange server.
Can someone please help me resolve this matter so I can continue to use Outlook 2013( running Windows 8.1) in both my computers which have the identical problem
Look forward to a solution soon
Thanks

Hi Angela
Thanks for your message
To answer your questions, please note the following
a) My account is set up in Cache Mode( not online mode)
b) I am the only other user on the account
c) When the connection to the exchange server is broken, I see upon clicking connection tab that there is no information in the box, and when I press reconnect it starts showing "connecting"
d) When the connection to the server is there, it shows connection as "established"
e) Sorry I dont understand th meaning of CAS array in your environment? Can you pls explain
Since yday I have been using Outlook 2010 on desktop and Outlook 2013 on my laptop using Exchange 2013 account. So far all emails are syncing, and I can send emails from both computers. However, I am concerned that the connection can break-off anytime,
as it has done that in the past on both outlook versions. The max time it has worked without any problem is 48 hrs and than after that the same issue of not connection, not syncing and unable to send emails happens
My ISP has checked and there is no network connectivity issues. My email service provider has trouble shot the issue many times, but to no positive results. I have also changed the profile a few times, but the intermittent connectivity problem hasn't
been resolved.
Can you identify the possible causes and more importantly a working permanent solution please
Thanks

Can my Macbook use an all-in-one connected to a Windows Home Server

Hey All, How do I connect my Canon Pixma MX700 to the Windows Home Server and be able to both Print and Scan from my Macbook over the network.

I just saw this post--it's for a different Canon than yours but it might point you in the right direction:
"The Canon MF6500 series uses the Canon UFR2 printer driver, which also supports the larger Canon multifunction copiers. If the printer is connected directly to the network via Ethernet, you use the More Printers > Canon IP (UFR2) option to enter the ip address of the printer. If the device is connected via USB, the Default browser view is used. In both cases, the user has no option to manually select the model in the print using menu. The driver communicates with the printer to determine which model it is.
If you have the printer connected via a Windows share, or to the USB port of a wireless router, the driver cannot 'see' the printer and will not complete the creation of the printer queue.
For a wireless router with Ethernet ports, you can connect the printer via Ethernet and then use the More Printers function. Of course the printer would require an Ethernet port for this to be possible, and I am not sure if you have such an option on the MF6500. If not, then you won't be able to use the printer the way you want.
FYI - the Apple Canon driver package is for the inkjet printers only.

Need help with scanner/printer

I'm having trouble with my scanner. I only started having problems yesterday. When I came to this website it told me to use HP print scan dr. But I ran it, and it told me to go back to HP customer care. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Nothing works. I don't know what I did to it.

Hey @bluepen ,
Thank you for joining us on the HP Forums today, hope you enjoy your time with us!
I understand you are having trouble with your scanner.
So that I can better assist you I need to know a few things first;
1. What Operating System are you using? Press the link to find out, in case you don't know already. http://whatsmyos.com/
2. What printer are you using?
3. How is the printer connected to the computer?
Do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers.
Look forward to hearing back from you.

Need help with hp printer/airport

until yesterday, my ibook printed to my hp 5250 on the airport network. i came back from a trip, and although the internet connection works fine, i can no longer print. i can see the printer (listed as a bonjour printer), but all jobs are stopped. tried the usual - shut everything down and restarted;disconnected and reconnected printer and airport; deleted printer from "print and fax" in system preferences and then added it back in. nothing. i have things in such a twist that i can't print from the printer even when connected directly (the printer DOES work when connected directly to another mac). i can also see another hp printer connected to the network, but cannot add it as a printer - it just spins forever. please help - could i have updated something from apple that is in conflict with my printer working? it is the only thing i can think of. thanks in advance!

I have the same problem.

I need help with a print spooler error message

Out of the blue I lost my printer connection. When I look at my printer menu there is no printer listed. When I try to add or install a printer, I get some odd message about a printer spooler is not running. Restart the machine. I've tried unhooking the printer, rebooting, unhooking from the power source. I even went into some area as an administrator and found the print spool task and when I clicked on the start button there was no action.

This is a MS Windows issue. Try this:
Right click on My Computer
Select Manage
Double click on Services and Application
Double click on Services
Scroll down to Print Spooler and double click on it
Click on Dependencies tab
Check what dependencies the print spooler has, if any you may need to click on + on those dependencies to more dependencies
Go back to the Services list
On each of the spooler dependencies, double click on it
Make sure it is set to Automatic in the Startup Type drop down menu
Now click on Start to start the service
Click OK
Now try and print.

Need help with Automating Printer and LPR installation

I work for someone who has a need for automating the print installation of LPR print port to mac laptops. Obviously this will need to cover anything OS X 10.3 and above. All of this needs to be done command line via a batch file of sorts.
I am a windows and Linux guy, however I just bought a Mac and starting to like the new Leopard OS and the capabilities of boot camp.
What I need:
1) how to install LPR port to the laptop
2) installing a printer from a some sort of cab file with correct port and drivers. (in windows we use print migrator, however the cab files we use for windows will obviously not work with different port types and drivers)
3) finally some clean up type script that will clean up any temp files I had to create or such.
I kind of need this soon so if anyone knows how or could point me in the right direction. It would be greatly appreciated.

If you force restart the computer on the freeze up, or force quit the printer adding window, does the printer appear in the print and scan system preference? In other words, did the printer successfully install? (is it possible that the setup part of the install failed, but the actual install worked?)
If so, you might be able to set the configurations yourself.
Open up the print and scan system preference. Double click on the printer.
When the printer queue window opens up, you should be able to click on the printer setup button.
Go through all the tabs and set things up the way you like.

Need help with HP printer installation.

Trying to install drivers for an HP OfficeJet 6500 e710n on two machines, an iMac and a MacBook Air, both running OS X 10.7. The printer is a networked printer that I have tried adding to both machines as an IP printer and as a USB printer. With either method the printer is automatically discovered and the drivers are downloaded. After the drivers are installed the process stalls at "Configuring the device..." I have waited at this point for over half an hour with no progress before choosing cancel. I have also downloaded and run the installer from HP with the same results. The only way that I have been able to connect with this printer is by manually configuring an IP printer with the generic PCL drivers. This allows me to print but only in low-res black and white. Any suggestions?

Need Help With HP Printer

Currently I have a HP 2610 AIO printer. It works great, for the most part. I have noticed though that the footers in the MS Word 2004 default margins, as well as margins in Pages and Adobe Reader 7 all get cut off at the bottom. Even though if I transfer the document over to my PC with Word 2003 and Adobe Reader 7 the document prints fine.
I tried contacting HP today, but I probably won't see a response till Monday so I am asking people here. Is there a way to fix this issue with HP printers? Is there a third party driver, or default Apple drive that could be used to overwrite the default and hopefully this fix this bug?
BTW so far I have tried the following:
-uninstalling Office and reinstalling
-uninstalling HP software + drivers & reinstalling
Is there a preference file or some other file that would reset to a default if I remove it?
I am looking for any and all answers I can find at this point because so far from searching the Pages forum here, as well as the Google Newsgroup for MS Word 2004, there doesn't seem to be any way to solve this problem.

I figured out that I needed to select Borderless printing. Otherwise Mac OS X doesn't properly recognize the proper bottom margin of my printer.

Need help with Thin JDBC connecting Oracle to SQL server.

I am fairly new to JAVA. We have ORACLE 8.1.7 running on Solaris 8. I have a need to
periodically extract data from ORACLE DB and transfer it to SQL Server. I am limited to
moving data from the ORACLE/UNIX environment to SQL Server side.
From what I have read, Server-side Thin driver should work.
1) Are there any issues in trying to achieve this with ORACLE running on the UNIX platform?
2) Will the Server-side Thin driver talk to both the DBs ?
3) Is it possible to provide some sample code ?
Thanks in advance,
Solomon

Quattro,
I had complete success in reading from Oracle and writing to SQL Server. First of all let me thank you for all your help. I do have one last request. Its more on optimization than any thing else.
I was trying to optimize my code by grouping both the connections in one place and to keep my reads and inserts together so that I don't commit at the end of each insert etc. I don't seem to have the scope rules under control yet. Could you suggest how to improve this:
import java.sql.*;
public class Test_Combined2 {
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException {
// Load the Oracle JDBC driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
// Connect to the database
// You must put a database name after the @ sign in the connection URL.
// You can use either the fully specified SQL*net syntax or a short cut
// syntax as <host>:<port>:<sid>. The example uses the short cut syntax.
Connection con2 = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@Test:1521:PSDEVElOP",
"SOLOMON","SOL1");
// Create a Statement
Statement stmt2 = con2.createStatement ();
String url = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://INTRADEV:1433;DatabaseName=Measure";
Connection con;
String query = "select dataYear, dataMonth, yieldRate from tblYield " ;
Statement stmt;
try {
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
} catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
System.err.print(e.getMessage());
// Select the ENAME column from the EMP table
ResultSet rset = stmt2.executeQuery ("select year_start, monthofyear, percent_comp " +
" from ps_usm_ytd_yield ");
// Iterate through the result and print the employee names
while (rset.next ()) {
System.out.println (rset.getFloat (3));
int ps_dataYear = rset.getInt(1);
int ps_dataMonth = rset.getInt(2);
float ps_yieldRate = rset.getFloat(3);
try{
con = DriverManager.getConnection (url, "tmpuser","tmppush");
stmt = con.createStatement();
PreparedStatement insertTblYield;
String insertString = "insert into tblYield " +
" values(?, ?, ?)";
//con.setAutoCommit(false);
insertTblYield = con.prepareStatement(insertString);
insertTblYield.setInt(1, ps_dataYear);
insertTblYield.setInt(2, ps_dataMonth);
insertTblYield.setFloat(3, ps_yieldRate);
insertTblYield.executeUpdate();
con.commit();
//con.setAutoCommit(false);

Need help with Apple TV connected to a Bose system

I have a new Apple TV that I have installed with a Bose Lifestyle 28 home theater system connected by an optical cable. The TV is also connected to a Directv box with the Directv box being connected to the Bose system via an Optical cable. I get Dolby 5.1 when watching the Directv but when I put a movie from Netflix on the Apple TV, I get a message on the Bose: PCM 2.0. Does anyone have any ideas as to why I don't get Dolby 5.1 on this setup?

DVI
Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
Analogue
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)
DAC
DAC (Example Only - Not a recommendation or suggestion that this is suitable in your circumstances)

Need help with automatic printing of a page

I am looking for inputs for a particular scenario; On the Oracle HR Self-service pages, once the employee adds/updates his personal details and submits his changes to be approved by the HR manager, the final confirmation page should be automatically routed to a particular printer and be printed. Can this functionality be achieved with OAF coding for the Submit button?
