Need HELP with JetDirect 500x - I'm New to this Apple Thing!

Hello. I am very new to Apple. I have been using PC's for years and I am over them. I am slowly trying to understand the differences and where to begin. I need help getting my printers setup with a JetDirect Box. Here is what I have.
HP JetDirect 500x, with a dedicated IP address of 192.168.10.2, which is DHCP assigned by my wireless router. Connected to Port1 is a HP OfficeJet R40; Connected to port 2 is a HP Deskjet 9800.
It appears that the drivers for both printers are built into OS 10.6.3.
How do I set these bad boys up? I found one article where someone was doing something similar to me but I tried what he did and had no success.
Here is what I tired in the Add Printer Dialog box:
Protocol: HP JetDirect - Socket
Address: 192.168.10.2:1 -or- http://192.168.10.2/ipp/port1
I also tried Port 2. No luck.
Please help. I am trying hard to get there. Thanks

Welcome!
The HP web site shows Mac drivers for up to 10.6 for the 9800 but no Mac drivers at all for the Deskjet 500. Only Windoze and Linux drivers listed for that one.
I hope someone can jump is with a comment on the Mac compatibility of the JetDirect print server. We tried for years to get one to connect multiple printers at work and eventually threw in the towel. Maybe the newer ones are better, but I noticed the HP site recommends using USB printer sharing if it is necessary to network a 9800 on Macs. Could be a clue. You might need to contact HP support to find out if the JetDirect is Snow Leopard compatible.
The last two printers we bought for our home network--a Brother 5250N b/w laser and an HP PhotoSmart C6280--were bought because they came with ethernet ports. They were a cinch to set up on the wired network and service six Macs, two via the wireless router and four on the wire.
regards from the next state over,
Allan

    You need to store the patterns for each letter of the alphabet somewhere - say in an array. You can then read out the patterns to build up strings.
    For example:String[][][] letters = new String[][]
    { {"A", "  A  " ... },
      { "R", "RRRR", "R    R", "R    R", "RRRR", "R    R", "R    R"},
    }

    Yes, it is a different app than the Mac OS X version.  but the good part is it only costs $10 (US).
    You can redownload your purchases but that has to be done on the same class of equipment.

  • Need help with Westell Versalink 327w on new computer with Windows Vista

    Greetings!
    I'm having trouble trying to connect to my Westell Versalink 327w with my new computer. My old computer and laptop work perfectly fine in connecting to the router. However, when I plug in the Ethernet cable to the router on my new computer, the computer doesn't recognize that a connection is even established. (As if it's not actually plugged in.)
    The port on the back of my computer is perfectly fine, as it works with another internet connection I have setup. The cable and router work fine on both my old computer and laptop. (In fact, I'm using the laptop to post on the forums right now.)
    The Router itself shows the Ethernet connection that's plugged in as a blinking green light.
    Is there a driver or some software I need to install on the new computer? Any specific settings?
    I'm using Windows Vista on the new computer, and the old computers both have Windows XP. Is there some sort of complicated new setup that Vista has which is preventing the connection, or like I said, is there software or a driver that I didn't install on the new computer that's making it not recognizing the router at all?
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    IceSage,
    Hey there!  Drivers would not required for an ethernet connection to the Versalink.  This appears to be an issue with Vista specifically.  If you have not already done so you may want to disable IPv6 in the TCP/IP settings of your LAN controller:
    Network and Sharing Center > Manage network connections > Right click on "Local Area Network" > Properties > Uncheck "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) > Click "OK" > Reboot > cross fingers
    Let us know if that works.

  • Need help with Airport Extreme and my new Verizon Fios Internet connection

    I just got the Fios install, and the tech and I couldn't figure out how to use my Airport Extreme as my wireless connection. I'm not real tech savvy (and I've only been a Mac guy for about 18 months). My current arrangement is the basic Verizon setup with the Airport out of the loop. How can I go about moving from here back to using my Airport Extreme? I need the range! Thanks in advance for your help.

    Have you tried resetting and reconfiguring the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)?
    Are you using OS 10.5 or OS 10.4 or earlier?
    Are you using the round 802.11b/g AEBS or the square 802.11b/g/n AEBS?
    If you are using OS10.5 OR the square 802.11b/g/n AEBS you should refer to "Designing AirPort Networks Using AirPort Utility" (direct PDF link).
    Otherwise you should refer to "Designing AirPort Extreme Networks" (direct PDF link).

  • Need help with refreshing open window in new tab

    Hello all,
    First, all my other problems I've solved.  One last thing, being a newbie and trying things I've found on the net and them
    not working, I can use your help one last time.  My code has a Home page that peforms a Search (most of you have
    I am sure done this), and from that search submit a window opens in a new tab (browser tab) and has the results on
    it.
    That works fine.  What I'm having trouble with is being able to perform a new search and refreshing that open window
    with the new data.  Right now I am closing that window by clicking on the tab and then performing the search.
    While it works, it's not user friendly.
    So, I've tried the usual  mywindow=window.open("url.cfm"); and then trying to grab that handle to refresh, but to
    no avail.  Has anyone done this?
    Thanks!

    Here's an example of how you could do it.
    <script>
    function submitAndFocusTarget(form) {
      var win = window.open("", form.target);
      form.submit();
      win.focus();
    </script>
    <form action="index.cfm" target="mysearchwin" method="get" onsubmit="submitAndFocusTarget(this); return false;">
      <input type="text" name="search" value="" />
      <input type="submit" value="search" />
    </form>

  • I need help with the sync and the new update.

    I have had 3 new updates recently. I'm now into iTunes 8.1-8.6 or something. I've got two problems that I can't find answers for in the help.
    First off, The new iTunes is pink with a black side-bar. I was wondering if there is a way to change it back to white and gray.
    Next, when I plug my iPod into the coputer, it says that it has detected the iPod, but can't read it. It then tells me to unplug it and try again. I have done this over 300 times, over two months. It dosn't work. My iPod still dosn't read, and I now have almost twice as many songs on iTunes, as I do on my iPod.
    Please help.

    My computer tells me iTunes 8.0 is the most current version. I'll assume that's what you're running, but you can check by opening iTunes and going to Help > About iTunes.
    You can resolve the color issue by:
    Open your Control Panel
    Click "Switch to Classic View" on the left
    Open the Display icon
    Choose the Settings tab
    Move your color settings to highest: 32-bit
    Regarding the iPod error... what type of iPod is it?

  • I need help with the installation of my new SSD... PLEASE HELP

    Hello,
    Recently I purchased a Samsung 840 EVO SSD for my Late 2011 MacBook Pro. I removed the optical drive from my device and repositioned the original HDD into an optical drive caddy and added my SSD where the HDD was originally.
    What I now want to do is reinstall OS X 10.9.1 onto my SSD which is named "Samsung SSD". I have backed up my computer using Time Machine. I restarted my computer and held down CMD+R  and clicked on the prompt to reinstall OSX onto my new SSD. About an hour after it started reinstalling it said it could not as the device was damaged... it is brand new and was treated very carefully, i am certain it is not damaged. Am I doing something wrong????? PLEASE HELP

    The only email support is iTunes store support.  I'm not sure if they can help you with this, but you can reach them by filling out this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.  Or, you can try calling the support number for your country if it's listed here: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support.

  • Need help with maintaining variable choices in new session

    I have a flash app. set up with several variables. Is there a
    simple action script that will allow the user to maintain their
    choices after closing the .swf and re-launching it?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    how are you checking if those components have been checked or
    ticked. actually, i probably don't want to know that.
    you really should be using a listener to detect when your
    components have changed and then you can use the changed method to
    set your variables and update your sharedobject.

  • Need help with transferring DW files to new computer

    I purchased a second computer - installed DW on new computer
    and connected to server - but am having a problem getting the site
    files installed correctely.
    On comp#1, in the sidebar I can switch between local and
    remote -- and there are arrows to upload or download files. On new
    computer I don't see that. New computer has Vista, would that
    change the look of the DW program?

    > installed DW on new computer and connected to
    > server - but am having a problem getting the site files
    installed correctely.
    go to old computer.
    open dw.
    dw menu-->site-->Manage Sites
    select a site (in cs3, you can shift-click to select entire
    list)
    and press the export button.
    repeat for all sites.
    then move the .ste files AND all the "local site folders"
    that contain the
    site assets to the other computer.
    double-click the .ste file, or use dw
    menu->site->import
    you will have to double-check these three places in each site
    definition:
    Local info:
    Local site folder path
    default image folder path
    Site:
    location of this site's "homepage"
    -->IF anything on the path to the local files is different
    on this computer.
    Such as having a different Username.

  • Need help with an unusual workflow - Am I doing this right?

    Thanks for reading, I shot my footage in HD 720pn on the HVX200. The final export needs to be fitted into a 352x288 frame 'uncompressed' which I will hand to my client who will convert to .wmv and .h264 for viewing on a PC and their video playback device (hence the odd 352x288 frame size).
    So this is what I'm doing, I just need to know if I'm doing this right before I hand it to my client so I can avoid problems with formats ect.
    -First I imported the footage from the P2 card and edited it in it's native format and timeline.
    -Once finished, I export to its native format (QuickTime, Current Settings, self-contained). This creates a file size of 1.7GB.
    -I create a new sequence at 352x288 with Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 as the codec (I just guessed here) and imported the self-contained video.
    -I shrink the video to fit the smaller frame and then render and export again using the current settings (352x288 with Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 as the codec). Its now 4.4GB (Why is it bigger than the larger framed original file?)
    The video looks great but I'm still worried about whether my client will be able to play it back via QuickTime on PC and I'd like the file size smaller so it's easier to deliver.
    Any help to simplify or correct this workflow would be greatly appreciated.
    LP

    You don't need to go through the double export process. You can either place the edited and rendered 720p sequence in the 352x288 sequence and then export, or you can scale the image down on export in the QuickTime Conversion export module, or in Compressor. Any QuickTime can read uncompressed video.
