Need help with Printer Setup conventions

I can't get my Brother printer to print from one computer--but it prints okay from the other computer on my network. I need to know the conventions for the Printer Setup Utility.
There's a checkbox by every printer on the list. What does it mean when the checkbox is grayed out?
Some printer names appear in bold. What does that mean?
Thanx.

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your help in this and just want to understand what you're saying.
As I say, the printer is displayed in the print dialog box but the checkbox is grayed out. I'm assuming that when you say "...it can't find/see them now," you mean the print dialogue can't see them (the drivers). Your last sentence confuses me. You say, "Do you maybe have Printer Sharing enabled & they aren't actually directly connected? If so you have to reboot after turning it off." A little confusion about your antecedents here. What isn't actually connected? The printer? So I have to reboot after turning it off, "it" I suppose is the printer, is that right? I will try that. So turn printer off, reboot, turn printer on. Right?
I will describe my problem. l thought that if I understood why the checkbox was grayed out I might see what my problem was. If you want me to start another topic I can do that.
Problem: I have a network with 2 computers and the Brother
multifunction fax/printer. I'm using an Apple airport hub. The printer
and one computer (Mac tower) are connected to the airport base via
ethernet. The 2nd computer (Apple laptop) is on the wireless network.
Until recently i could print from both computers. Now I can't print from
the tower. But I can still print from the laptop.
When I try to print from the tower I get an error message that says, "Cannot print from current printer." I have rebooted, reinstalled printer drivers, checked cables, deleted printer from printer list and re-added printer all to no avail. But as I say, I can still print from the laptop which is using Airport. So the printer prints, the hub connects to the printer okay (ethernet) and I know the tower connects to the hub (I can ping the printer okay from the tower.)
I am conversing to Brother support via email and their first suggestions I have already tried. Perhaps there's some problem in the network, but I can't figure it out. Worse yet, now when I go to the Network preferences I get an error message which says, "Your network settings have been changed by another application." THIS ERROR MESSAGE WON'T GO AWAY! I can click 'okay' but it reappears. I have to force quit the System Preferences to get out. If you can help with any of these problems I surely appreciate it.

Need Help with Print a Report

Hi,
I am building a database application in Java and now i need to print some reports ....
I need to get the data from the database .. do some calculations , and then print in on paper.
I checked online and got some tools like JasperReports, jfreereports, ReportCat, etc. so I was wondering if somebody can suggest whats the best.
In my report I will have to print more than one table on one page.
for example:
if I have 4 Invoices. then i will have 4 tables .. one for each invoice.. and each table will contain
the elements for that Invoice.If all can't fit on one page then it needs to go next page.
I would like to do all this stuff in Java without using any reporting tool ... but I am not really sure how this can be
done .. can someone give me an idea ... as per how this can be done .. will really appriciate all the help.

I need help with my setup Please !!! 2800+ athlon xp

hi all .......... great forum here.....!!!
I am having probs with my new setup and I am at a wits end of what to do so i'll explain my problem.
I have just bought a AMD athlon 2800+ cpu for my mobo (KT3 ultra 6830e v.1.0)
and I am unable to run the chip at correct speed??
The bios wont boot the computer if I try to set the fsb for cpu at 166 ?? Am I correct in thinking that a 2800+ Athlon needs to be run at 166fsb to get the 333fsb setting?
I am currently running it at 133fsb and it is registering it as a AMD 2200+ chip ???
I am quite new to playing about with my bios but at the moment it is set at defaults on everything because i had to reset the cmos jumper about 8 times last night after trying different settings, in the end i gave up and thought i'd ask u guys for help???? Please !!!
I spoke to the shop i bought the chip from and we got talking about that when i set the fsb for chip to 166 it changed the ram settings to host clock + 66 (host clock was set at 100mhz) thus trying to make my 2100 ram(266) run at 2700(333) specs ?
Is this the problem why my computer wont boot when it is set to 166 fsb cuz it is asking the ram to be 333ddr when it isn't???
Is my problem going to be solved if i purchase some 2700 ram ?? if so i'll be quite happy, or is my board just not capable of running this 2800+ cpu on it???
i read up b4 i bought the cpu and i thought i was able to run this chip maybe i read wrong? any help would be greatly appreciated , oh i also flashed my bios to the most recent msi update which was 5.7 i think (AMI bios) and the flash was succesfull (LOL) very worrying!!!!
anyway hope i have explained my problem well enough as i myself am very confused!!!!
Thanks in advance
Dave

i have just had a look around the net and it looks like there are two versions of the 2600+ available one with 133/266fsb support and the other with 333fsb ???
Do u know that if i take my 2800+ back to the shop and change it for a 2600+ cpu if i should just get a normal one(133/266fsb) or get the 333fsb version???
as that link u posted for the mobo supported cpus only lists the 2600+ as being a 133/266fsb chip ???
I will get some 333ddr ram as well just incase i need this to allow the 2600+ to run correctly
Also (sorry to be a pain) but can you explain to me how to change the multipliers correctly to get full power from the chip ?? as i read that a 2600+ comes out at 1.91ghz standard , but i was reading a review where the user was told by AMD that it will run higher by changing fsb or multipliers (or both?) ???
Do u have to set the fsb to 133 and then change the multiplier to a value to up the speed or just keep changing the fsb alone and leave the multipliers alone ????
Hope you can help me......
Thanks once again for your replys..

Need Help with Printer Please

I am a new MAC user. So please, if you have a solution for me, speak slowly. (LOL)
I have the new G5. Bought the Epson printer to go with it. It's the CX4200.
I loaded the software for it. But can't get it to print. It seems the computer won't or can't find it in their list of printers.
Ok, so I go to a Word Doc., for example. And select print. The window says that I need to select a printer. I hit the arrow down button and there's my printer listed. So I choose that, but still won't print. Seems I have to go down to another line in the same box and find the printer in this long list. There are many Epsons listed but not mine, which is the CX4200.
And darn-it, tech support on the phone is closed at 6pm!!!??? I sure hope to see a reply soon. I really need to print something tonight.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
My personal e-mail is
[email protected]
Thanks!
Cary
PS: This process asked me to choose an OS for my G5. I have no idea what my OS is. All's I know is I have a G5. Gosh, I feel soooo dumb!

What have you done so far?
I suggest you connect it via a usb cable first. Once you get the printer working, move to wifi. You will have to use an existing printer usb cable or purchase a cable. Be sure to get the correct cable. Ask for help.
The warrenty indicates there is phone support. Give HP a call.

Need help with configuring setup cost as variable based on quantity

Hello,
I am brand new to PP and my client has inquiry as to how they can make the setup costs variable based on the production quantity. They already have the machine and labor working correctly, so I compared the formulas for machine and labor time with that of the formula for setup time and they are not the same (in fact, setup time does not have any formula). Do I simply need to create a formula for this or are there multiple other steps? If anyone can give instruction on how to set this up it would be of great help.
Thanks,
MH

Check in the Work Center, tab Costing where Setup Time should have a formula using operation quantity / base quantity as ratio.
Setup time should be included as parameter in the standard value key.
The formula in the Capacity Tab would have only effect on the capacity evaluation, but no costs impact.

Need help with printing edocs with a laserjet1320. Wont print large jobs. installed 10.7 update.Help

i am trying to print 50 page(5mb) document package on legal paper and the printer is printing one page at a time. I am using a macbook pro 10.7 and I have installed the update. however, it seems as though the computer is not correctly communicating with the printer. A four page job was no problem. I believe these printers are capable of high volume printing. Can I reinstall the firmware? Adobe acrobat will not even communicate with the printer. It just says "waiting for printer to become available." Using "preview", it sends the job to the printer, however, it is printing about 5pages per minute. It is connected through a usb cable. thanks for your help.
Randy

Randys714 welcome to the forum
Your laserjet1320 is a commercial product. I will suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support as well for yet a better chance at finding a prompt solution.
You may find the commercial Laserjet board here.

Need help with printing black and white pdf print at higher quality.

We are a machine shop and many of our customers supply their prints for the tooling we need to make in .PDF file formats. The problem is that some of the files are NOT of great quality. They seem very faint. I can view them on my computer no problem and when I zoom in, the quality is good, but whey they print, the dimensions and lines are very faint. I have been pounding my head to come up with a way to improbe the quality in the following characteristics: contrast, line quality, darker dimensions and lines, etc. But I just cannot get anywhere. Is there anyone that could give me some insight into how to do this. If so, he or she would have my undying gratitude (which probably is not worth much, but sounds good!)
The other thing is that some of our customers send their prints in .TIF or .TIFF file formats. Is there any way to convert them to PDF and get good quality? These .TIF and .TIFF files are a little worse than others.
Thanks ahead of time!

Need Help with Tomcat setup

I downloaded tomcat 4.1 and extracted it to my harddrive, but when i try to start up the tomcat server i get the following error.
C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-4.1.34\bin>startup
JAVA_HOME\bin\java.exe is missing
The JAVA_HOME environment variable may not be defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program
NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE
Using CATALINA_BASE: ..
Using CATALINA_HOME: ..
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: ..\temp
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09;
The system cannot find the file -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false.
C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-4.1.34\bin>
What do I need to do to fix this?
ClassPath: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin
JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09;
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Your JAVA_HOME variable does seem to be pointing to the right place.
It shouldn't have that semicolon on the end of it though. Maybe get rid of that?
The other question I would have about it is that there is a space in the variable, which might confuse matters.
Maybe try using the "shortname" for Program Files.
You can do a "dir /x c:\P*" to find out what it is.
Try setting the JAVA_HOME to c:\progra~1\java\jdk1.5.0_09
Also note that Tomcat4 is a couple of versions old now.
I would recommend Tomcat5.5 with Java1.5
Hope this helps,

Need help with printer friendly

I would like to create a new template for printer friendly mode. I would like the text to appear just as large and in the same locations in printer friendly mode just as it appears on the form before clicking the print button .Could someone please lead me in the right direction on what to do. Please take into account I am not a HTML guru.
Thanks

Hello
I would like to know how to have a printer friendly page print according to my printer preferences. Currently when I print I am left with what appears to be pieces of graphics around a report as well as not printing in duplex mode as the printer preferences define.
I too am not an HTML programmer, are there additional setups to check aside from the "Printer Friendly" checkbox?
Thanks for any help

Need help with printer sharing over ethernet

I'd like to share the printer hooked up to my Mac Pro via USB with a MacBook in the same room. The MacBook is connected to my Mac Pro via ethernet cable (no router or switch; just a direct connection).
I have enabled "Printer Sharing" on my Mac Pro.
However, I'm not sure what to do from here. When I open up "Network" in System Preferences, and click on "built-in ethernet" it says "inactive". When I go to "Print and Fax Preferences" and attempt to add the printer connected to the Mac Pro, nothing shows up.
I know I'm not understanding a key point here. If you could help me out I'd appreciate it. The goal is to allow the MacBook to use Airport to connect to the Internet, but to have access to the USB printer connected to my Mac Pro via ethernet (long story why this is necessary, but it is.)
Thanks.

Thanks for your offer to help.
The printer is indeed connected to my Mac Pro via USB and is working perfectly.
As I stated in the original post, printer sharing is enabled in System Preferences on my Mac Pro. There is an ethernet cable going from the ethernet 2 port of my Mac Pro to the ethernet port of my MacBook.
The missing element was that I had not established a network connection between the two Macs. From the Macbook's Finder I chose "Go>Network" and then selected my Mac Pro. After I entered my username and password, I was connected to the Mac Pro.
At this point I was then able to see the USB printer connected to the Mac Pro in the MacBook's "Print & Fax preferences".
However, I still have one problem. When I add the printer on the MacBook, it chooses "generic postscript driver" even though I have recently installed the proper driver on the MacBook. Why would this be the case?

Help with printer setup

we need to set a print to file printer. wich are the settings we need to use?

Were you actually able to print successfully over the wireless connection? My printer responds wirelessly-- the print try opens, the paper feeder turns, but then I get a 306 error.
I spent hours with tech support yesterday-- two different guys-- and both said I am trying to do the impossible. They say the Base Stations are only designed to deal with printers via USB.
But I don't see why the Base Station should care whether the wireless device is a printer or xbox or what have you, if it is wireless enabled.
It's all very frustrating.

IPAD 2 - need help with the setup

I am attempting to start up my new IPAD2 by syncing with my Apple Computer. When I connect, the IPAD2 device shows in Iphoto and not in ITunes which I believe I need to startup... any help?

Try launching iTunes on your computer and see if the activation process begins.
After you activate, open iPhoto and select Preferences, then under General select - Connecting Camera Opens - No Application.

Need Help with Timeline Setup, Text won't show up in SWF

I am creating a site for one of my company's restaurants, and I have all of my pages created in flash. I have not done any Actionscript on any of the pages yet. I thought that I would just be able to create each page and take the swf files and import them into a main index page on the timeline and code from there. However, when I imported my .swf files to the library of the main flash file, none of my text showed up at all. I have added the fonts to my library and I tried breaking apart the text, but nothing has worked.
Also, I don't know how exactly to set up the timeline to link all of my pages, and I have looked in other forums and have seen people reference the online help, but I do not know where to find that!
I am a mess right now, the site needs to be up by Friday!! PLEASE HELP!

So I have created all new movie clips in my index.fla file by copying all of my files from another file and pasting them into the movie clip timeline. I have placed all of my new movie clips in different layers on the index timeline, and have created keyframes 10 frames apart. I have my actions layer with frame labels for each page every ten frames (i.e. tbLabel is at frame 1 in my actions layer and the movie clip is on a different layer at frame one, restaurantLabel is at frame 10 in my actions layer and the movie clip for that page is on a different layer at frame ten, all the way up to frame 120). I haven't put any actionscript in my movieclips except for stop(); at the end of each file. My current actionscript, placed in frame 1 for my first page when the viewer goes to the site is as follows:
thunderBayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goIndex);
restaurantBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goRestaurant);
birchBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goBirch);
menuBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goMenu);
eventBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goEventLand);
davEventBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goDavEvent);
rockEventBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goRockEvent);
pewEventBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPewEvent);
pewEventBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPewEvent);
giftBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goGiftCert);
downloadBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goDownload);
contestBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goContestLand);
davContestBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goDavContest);
rockPewContestBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goRockPewContest);
function goIndex(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(1);
function goRestaurant(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(10);
function goBirch(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(20);
function goMenu(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(30);
function goEventLand(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(40);
function goDavEvent(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(50);
function goRockEvent(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(50);
function goPewEvent(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(50);
function goGiftCert(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(90);
function goDownload(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(100);
function goContestLand(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(110);
function goDavContest(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(120);
function goRockPewContest(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(120);
However, when I go to test the movie, I get "1120 access" errors even though the buttons are named in the properties pane, however, I cannot view that in the file that conatins all of my movie clips because they are movie clips.
Also, When I go to view the movie with all of my movie clips, all of them play one on top of the other, none of them stop, and the buttons do not work.
I'm having a hard time figuring out what actionscript I need to use and where!
