Need help with HP OfficeJet 6210 over windows shared network.

Hello All,
I have a HP OfficeJet 6210 that is hooked up to my Dell PC. The printer is setup on share mode and works well with other pc's on the network.
However, I am having problems with it working on my G5. When I goto System Preferences then Printer/Fax setup. I click on the printing tab, I am able to find the printer over the shared network and it set's it up as the default printer. So all that works fine, but when I try to print nothing happens. I looked at the driver and noticed the correct one is not being used. I am having a hard time installing the correct driver. On the G5 if I click on the Printer setup and then look under model. I do not see my printer listed anyway. Is there a simple way to add this driver to the list?
Thank you,
Michael

Thanks David. I have downloaded that file from the HP website, however I am having trouble locating that driver on my Mac HD. When I hook the printer directly to the Mac, it automatically selects driver 3.3. When I try to use the printer while connected to my Dell maching running XP, I cannot find the driver or the model of the printer from the drop down menus in the printer setup utility (under windows printing.) I was going to try to locate the driver myself by selecting "other" instead of finding it by selecting "manufacturer" then "model" of printer. I hope this makes sense.

  • 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.

    Hello Andrew,
    Was the reply I gave you in the other post you made of no help?
    I explained that Windows ME is not compatible, but you can get it work with a little messing around, and once again, here's a link on how to do it.
    Guide to iPod and Windows ME.
    As I said previously though, you won't be able to use iTunes.

  • I NEED HELP WITH THE SIZE OF MY WINDOW ON IPHOTO 08'

    Hi, I have had my mac for a while now and I was wondering if somene could help.
    I know it is alot different then other computers when choosing the size of the appearence of windows on the screen. I have been using iphoto for a while and when I first started using it the application only took up half of the screen (when fully opened) which i was really happy about since it made it easy for my to drag and drop onto my desktop. The other day I clicked the green button in the top left corner to make it bigger, as I thought it would help with what I wanted to do.
    My problem is.. now when I go to click the green button to shrink it down to half the size again it does not work. I am wondering if there is something wrong? or is it just always supposed to be this way? I am hoping not as i really liked having it in a smaller window. please help
    thanks, katie

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You can resize any window on a Mac simply by grabbing the lower right hand corner and dragging.

  • Need help with QoS config/setup for my home network.

    I have a home network that spans two buildings, has and FTP download server, VoIP phones,and several computers among other IP devices.  I run a home based business where my clients get access to the company FTP download server (NOT illegal file sharing).  the problem is that when they are downloading files my VoIP takes a big hit and gets choppy when speaking to my customers.  Below is  the layout of the network.
    Our Internet access is Verizon 4G, there are no other options available at this time or we would switch.  The Verizon 4G MiFi connects to a TP-Link wifi router that then connects to port fa0/5 on the Office 3550PoE switch.  There is a trunk between the Office switch to the House 3550PoE switch.  The House switch then connects to the Shop 3524XL switch also using a trunk.  Please note that EVERYTHING works fine other than the VoIP issue, VoIP makes and receives calls without connections issues.
    Auto QoS has been run on the Office switch ports fa0/1 and fa0/2 as well as on the House switch ports fa0/3 and fa0/5.  There is NO auto QoS on the 3524XL
    What is the best way to give VoIP traffic top priority over FTP and web browsing when going out port fa0/5 on the Office Switch?  Over the internal network we are not having any call quality issues between the IP phones, just calls to our SIP provider.  Yes, I understand that once calls exit the Office switch to the TP-Link wifi router there will not be any QoS.  But, if I can give priority to the packets at the layer 3 Office switch (or wherever you suggest) then at least I will not have to kill a users FTP download while I am on the phone.
    Thank You

    I can make ANY changes necessary, just need to know what to do.
    First, did you notice the output of the command  sh mls qos fa0/5 above?  Is it working correctly?

  • Need help with two-factor auth for windows logon using CSS

    Hi all,
    I have been trying for a couple of days now to get two-factor auth for windows logon working on my X1C Type 3443.
    I am running Windows 7 (64-bit) with Lenovo System Update 5.06.0007, Lenovo Solution Center 2.6.001.00, ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software 5.9.9.7282, ThinkVantage Client Security Solution 8.30.0031.00. If it's of any importance, my X1C was originally shipped with Windows 8, but I couldn't stand it and reinstalled Windows 7 instead.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the above programs in the following order:
    1) Install System Update and reboot
    2) Install Solution Center and reboot
    3) Install CSS and reboot
    4) Install Fingerprint Software and reboot
    Everything seems to be working fine by itself, except that when I try to configure two-factor auth in CSS, the Fingerprint tab (on the left of the GUI) is greyed out and CSS tells me that I have no fingerprints enrolled. The Fingerprint Software, however, is working just fine and shows me as having a fingerprint enrolled there.
    I have spent all morning searching for a solution, but everything I find dates back to 2011, when ThinkPads still came with ThinkVantage Toolbox. I obviously can't download that anymore, so I'm at a loss. Can someone please help? Thanks!

    I can only see a portion of the objects in my perspective window. The rest appears to be getting clipped.

  • Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

    Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of.  I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our  "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit"  issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
    We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
    I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
    You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
    (and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks',  "Adobe phone-in experiences")

    Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
    So  I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself,  I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products"  to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
    OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi  & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any  "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE"  button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is,  how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
    So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a  " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
    So after thinking this all out,  and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
    Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year,  I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
    A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however,  if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
    I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
    OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending"  with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly,  and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add)..,  except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form....  Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of.  First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
    Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
    It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time)  of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one,  basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it...  and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
    Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly,  the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4)  If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
    Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that?  Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

  • Need Help With File Matching Records

    I need help with my file matching program.
    Here is how it suppose to work: FileMatch class should contain methods to read oldmast.txt and trans.txt. When a match occurs (i.e., records with the same account number appear in both the master file and the transaction file), add the dollar amount in the transaction record to the current balance in the master record, and write the "newmast.txt" record. (Assume that purchases are indicated by positive amounts in the transaction file and payments by negative amounts.)
    When there is a master record for a particular account, but no corresponding transaction record, merely write the master record to "newmast.txt". When there is a transaction record, but no corresponding master record, print to a log file the message "Unmatched transaction record for account number ..." (fill in the account number from the transaction record). The log file should be a text file named "log.txt".

    I am not sure what is wrong with my code above to make my results different from the correct results.
    Much help is appreciated. Please help.

    From the output, it looks like one problem is just formatting -- apparently you're including a newline in log entries and not using tabs for the newmast output file.
    As to why the numbers are off -- just from glancing over it, it appears that the problem is when you add multiple transaction values. Since account.combine() is so simple, I suspect that you're either adding creating transaction objects incorrectly or not creating them when you should be.
    Create test input data that isolates a single case of this (e.g., just the Mary Smith case), and then running your program in a debugger or adding debugging code to the add/combine method, so you can see what's happening in detail.
    Also I'd recommend reconsidering your design. It's a red flag if a class has a name with "Create" in it. Classes represent bundles of independant state and transformations on that state, not things to do.

  • Need help with almost completed plugin engine project

    Hi all,
    For a while now I have been working on a plugin engine. After a few iterations, the engine is similar to the Eclipse engine, in that plugins use extension points and extensions to allow contributions. Unlike the eclipse engine I have added the ability for plugins to fire events through the engine and other plugins can add listeners, all through the plugin.xml manifest. Dependencies are mostly handled automatically at plugin load time (when extensions get resolved to extension points, and listeners get resolved to events). For the case where a plugin needs to use classes from another plugin, dependencies are also allowed to be declared. Like the eclipse engine, activation of plugins occurs the first time a class is used within the plugin's classpath, OR a plugin can be activated after it is loaded.
    What I need help with is testing, working on examples to provide with the engine project, and feedback/suggestions before we release the M1 build. I am asking for those that are interested in this type of work to volunteer to help where applicable and possible. I want to provide a solid plugin engine to the java community, one that is easy to use, works well, and is pretty effecient in terms of resource usage and performance.
    Of particular interest to me right at the moment is dealing with multiple versions. As I see it, the engine will be used within an application and as such plugins would be distributed with a specific application version. The plugin version itself is more of a notification as to what version a plugin is, although I imagine it will help when updating at runtime as well.
    Just a few other details of the engine. It handles (or will soon) dynamic load, unload and reload of plugins at runtime. Plugins can be distributed in an archive file format, we call .par (Plugin ARchive), with additional plugin filename extensions configurable at runtime. The plugins can be developed and deployed in an expanded directory format as they are in Eclipse as well, or in the archive format. In the archive format they do not need to be unzipped when deployed, and they can contain embeded jar/zip libraries. The engine handles finding and creating classes directly out of the .par file at runtime.
    Multiple locations to find plugins are configurable before the engine starts, and even after it starts more could be added to allow additional locations to find plugins. URLs are supported, and soon the HTTP protocol will be supported so that plugins can be downloaded and installed at runtime.
    The project can be found at www.sourceforge.net/projects/genpluginengine. If you would like to get involved and help out, please sign up on the dev mail list and send an email to introduce yourself to the rest of the members on the list.
    I'll also add that I am working on a Swing UI Framework built entirely from plugins. It provides a ready-to-launce UI application that developers can simply add their plugins to, extending various extension points of the framework to have menu items, toolbar buttons, status bar access, help and preferences dialog additions, file i/o choosers, tons of open-source components ready to use (or extend to add on to), and like Eclipse, hopefully... draggable window frames that can be dropped on any other frame to form a tabbed frame of windows. Some of this is a ways off, some is getting there now. Presently you can add menu items that do allow plugin activation when first clicked, so plugins can be loaded but not activated until needed. The Preference dialog works but is not completed, and a plugin that adds a plugin control panel to view all loaded plugins, activate them, load/unload/reload, view extension points, extensions, dependencies, etc is partially completed. The point is, to allow a ready to run UI framework in Swing with an easy path for developers to quickly build applications with. If you are interested in this, when you join the mail list and introduce yourself, indicate that you are interested in this as well, as we need help with plugin development for it and would appreciate more help here too.
    Look forward to some replies.

    Might I suggest setting up a project at a known project-site? I've seen your progress and questions posted here from time to time, but one of the drawbacks is that you have to fill each post with the entirity of your vision to explain what you're doing. That's a lot of text to read - and most folks will skip right over it.
    On the other hand, a well-crafted, good-looking project web-site, with appropriate links and docs and vision statements, diagrams, etc. will have more likelyhood of attracting volunteers. java.net and sourceforge.net are likely spots to set up shop. In addition, you get CVS and bug-tracking systems, which can be quite valuable in such a large-scale project where there are lots of pieces.

  • Need help with Editor

    I am brand new to doing a post, so please bear with me. I have Photoshop elements 8. the program is not allowing me to open the editor. Any ideas? I click on it and it acts like it is thinking and then nothing....

    oh my!! i think this may be WAY over my head!! i have a computer savvy friend that I will get to look at your suggestion. fyi, I had called the help line and for $30 they can talk to me. he suggested that i buy Photoshop 9 and get free "phone talk".

    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Organizer and Editor and that will bypass the welcome screen and any advertising.
    On Windows right click on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails)
    Select it and click OK
    Click next
    Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
    Then click finish
    You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
    +You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application (.exe file which has the blue PSE icon). As before take out Photoshop Elements just leaving the description Editor and it will show up clearly on the desktop.
    +You can keep the standard Photoshop icon which links to the welcome screen but I prefer to delete it from the desktop. If you ever need to get to the welcome screen you simply click Window >>Welcome on the top menu when the application is open.
