Network Priting with C4680

Hello, I cannot print to the PhotoSmart C4680.
Customer has a 2 PC network. One machine uses Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and the other uses Windows XP Pro 32-bit.
The printer is attached to the XP machine and is shared. With the Win 7 machine I can see the printer thru the network, can connect to it and add it. I downloaded the correct driver for this unit.
It does show up in printers and devices. The problem is everytime I go to print, it says print failed. No matter what I do printing fails.
Is this an issue with the 64-bit and 32-bit?

There doesn't seem to be any wireless printing accessory for your printer. the en1700 is only for laserjet printers. I suggest you return this printer and get the C4780 instead.

Any network problem with your cell phone carrier you need to take up with the carrier.

How do I set up different network locations with different wifi?

I am having an issue setting up different network locations with different wifi profiles on each. I want to do this to enable fast switching of wireless networks. In my house I have two wireless networks, my own personal one and one that is created by using a wifi modem supplied by my company. If I use the company wifi network then I can get into all my work applications without having to enable VPN access separately. It is also faster. However, they also block many applications including sending email from my personal email account, dropbox, etc. So throughout the day I need to switch wireless networks back and forth.
I was looking for a faster way to switch and thought I would try network locations. Was able to set up a new network location without issue. However it seems that whatever wireless preferences, changes, or wifi network order I put into my "Work" location it carries over to my other location which is the standard "Automatic".
What I would like it to have my "Work" location only to be able to connect to my work wifi and my other network (Automatic) to just connect to my home wifi only. That way I can enable faster wifi switching and can even use my launcher program (Alfred) to provide shortcuts.
Anyway to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Just thought I would bump this up in the conversation. Doing a further search I came across this discussion which is similar: Connecting to a wireless network via applescript?
However, I tried to build the Automator application as discussed and cannot get it to work. Very much a novice at Applescript and Shell Script but have created customized Automator services before. All I get now is "Shell Script command encountered an error". No more detail. I copied and pasted the script as shown in the email thread. Is there any other line or command I need to place in front of it?
Thanks again for any help

Can I have a network user with the same name as a local user?!

I have just set up Mac OS X 10.8 SErver with Open Directory. I have about 20 machines that I will be setting up, some which have mainly been used localy and just used to tap into Shared Files, [historically], but am wanting to use network users for better backup and support.
However some of the legacy accounts were not used on off the server... What I have is the following :-
a) [Person A] - They are a network user with Password [Password A]
b) The computer is [Person A], they have a Password [Password Old] (so it is different)
I have Network Account Users turned on, with a green dot! (have domain all set up)
However How do I connect using either a or b. depending on what i feel like that day!
? Help any ideas.
Ultimately I will have set up all my client machines with a client admin user and standard password... but I am not there yet!

Moving from local (legacy) users to network users takes a one-time hassle of moving the contents of their local home folder contents up to the server. Using a finder copy never worked for me. What I finally found worked reliably was using rsync to copy the entire users local folder up to the server. Once on the server, move the files into place (if you didn't rsync them there directly. Finally, Chown all the files (on the server) to associate them with the correct userID on the server. If everything looks right on the server, you can test by trying to login as this user from another local Mac (but now as a network account), and hopefully their home folder looks like they expected.
Note you will need admin access in the local machine and the server to rsync their home folder. You don't want to be logged into their account while trying to copy their files up to the server.
If rsync is not your bag, a portable hard disk and/or disk image of their home folder is another way to move their stuff.
Once you've verified that their network account got to the server ok, then REMOVE the local account.

Network Users with network homes not really working for me

I have with great pain setup a OS X Lion server on a Mac Mini that was supposed to be my central server to have 4 network users accounts and all the users data is stored on an external disk array with mounted network homes to the 2 iMacs and 2 Macbooks I have in my home.
I have gotten it all working and all my Macs are joined to the Open Directory and each User can login as a network users on any of the Macs and get their files via mounted home directory from the server. The home directories on the server are backed up with Time Machine.
I have found the following items that do not work proberly:
1) Desktop backgrounds settings are just lost sometimes for whatever reason. Desktop background goes to default and you need to manually set back to the one you have selected. This happen mostly if users have their own desktop pictures.
2) Keychain get's screwed up. The user often get the "Keychain doesn't exist to store ..." message and need to select to reset the keychain. Anything I have tried from "Keychain First Aid" to removing and have a new one created doesn't fix the problem. It keeps on coming back.
3) iTunes Storage and AppStore are getting confused about authorized computers. This is because a user logs in from another computer and then iTunes store would tell the user this computer hasn't been authorized to play the purchase music. Same happens with iPhone apps from the AppStore. Apparently those two stores are not setup to hanlde network users proberly.
4) Permission issues happen sometimes in Application like iPhoto where it would complain not being able to see photos or cannot add new photos to the library. Need to run a permission repair on the Iphoto Library to fix this.
5) One critical one is that it's not really possible to restore files from Time Machine. The Time Machine backup is done on the server by an administrator account directly backing up the user directories. When you go into Time Machine on the server even the admin can drill down into the user directories so no restore possible. The individual users have no idea that there was ever a Time Machine backup done as Time Machine is not setup in their accounts on the individual Macs. This prevents any possible restore.
I reckon that many of the problems are related to having only one location for ~/Library as the individual Macs are writing their user related settings into this directory in a central location. So what happens is when something on iMac 1 and then I log in on iMac 2 that might not exactly match this Macs config and it get's confused throwing one of the above erors.
Trouble is witth central network home directory the way they mounted i can't exclude the ~/Library folder. The only option I can see is mobile account because I have seen in the preferences that when they sync the handle Library items differently.
Does anybody have any experience out there with this sort of thing and can advise what's the best way forward?
If i can't resolve this I'll go back to have network users with local home directories on each Mac and just setup for each user a network share to which they copy files if they want them available on other Macs. Not as nice but at least it works!
As a said note I did this to make things easier but it has up to now cost me trouble then i had before!

Haven't heard anything from anybody so probably to daunting a topic ...
I have now moved on to try Portable Home Directories (PHD) and syncing ... what a disaster!
First it took me ages to get this right as the way the home directores are mounted on the clients from the server it's just weired which has to do with how AFP mounts are implemented. Since one AFP mount can't be mounted by several users on the same system they use a workaround of mounting it to a temp directory and then linking it back to where it should be. Of course this causes major problems.
Okay it kind of worked so let's move on to syncing PHD. First of all on initial creation it only sync a small portion of the directory that should be okay but on some of my accounts it never went passed this stage. It said it's all synced but it only had synced the first 10% or so of the data. I wasn't able to make it sync anymore.
On other accounts it correctly synced all the data down, or so I thought. Apparently a few sync session back and forth and 50-60% of the data was gone. On further investigation it turned out to be iTunes and iPhoto libraries. Turns out does don't sync probably via Home Sync!!!
Apple product is not able to probably syncing Apple specific library files!!!!
So here my warning to everybody: DO NOT USE PHD and HOME SYNC to sync your data as you will lose stuff if you have iTunes and/or iPhoto libraries with Lion OS X Server!!!
The whole Lion Server experience has been a disaster for me. Now I have a server that does file sharing and time machine backup sharing. I can do the same thing with a standard Mac using those services. What's the point of Lion Sever for Home if nothing works proberly?

How to configure Time Capsule etc as a local network server with remote access server and for backups

I'm trying to set up new 3TB Time Capsule as a wireless network server (with remote access) and for backups for use in a small office (of two Macs). We have a late 2011 Intel MBP and a brand new MBA both running 10.8.3. We have two external 1TB hard drives that until now have been attached the MBP for storage and backing up that computer, which up until now was the only machine in use. The MBA is for a new employee and we need to share and work on the same files, both here in the office and ideally remotely too via Back to my Mac. The MBP needs constant access. The MBA only occasional. The TC has 7.6.3 firmware and we've set it up using AirPort Utility 6.2. It is currently attached to the MBP via ethernet and it has internet access via a Sagemcom router attached to TC's WAN port.
We've managed to set up a wireless network and both have wireless internet access through the TC
But there are so many issues I don't know where to begin - so I'll start with a description of what we're trying to achieve:
I planned to use the TC as the main server drive and place all the key folders and files there so that both of us can access them wirelessly and remotely. The MBP would back up to the TC and to one or two of the external hard drives - one being attached to the Mac via USB and the other being attached to the TC's USB port. We would back up the important data on the TC using SuperDuper and copy it to both external USB drives.
So , first of all, is that a sensible configuration? Should the 'server' be the one of the external hard drives attached to the TC USB port, backed up regularly to the TC using SuperDuper?

But when you say 'So using USB drive does make sense if you want to use it as a file store', do you mean a USB drive plugged into the TC? I hope that I can attach an external drive to the TC so we can all access and read/write the content wirelessly via the TC network or remotely.
Yes, USB.. as it prevents the sparsebundle mixing with data files. I guess it does depend on how much data you are talking about.. you can use the TC internal disk if you are careful and setup the sparsebundle with fixed sizes once you create them..
And to be clear, I wasn't planning on backing up remotely via BTMM - only to access the shared folders on the TC data drive or USB external drive attached to it. I'm assuming that's ok?
Yes, that is fine. Sorry I got the impression you were going to do backup over internet.
What is the alternative? Having a Mac Mini that's always on? Do I need OS X Server etc.?
A mini would be great.. you don't need server edition.. but I would see how the TC goes.. since you have it and it is much lower power consumption device. It is just that its design is not really for file storage.
One big problem I have is to do with the sharing permissions. For everything on the TC or attached external drive attached to it, it says I have only custom access and every time I try to change permissions it says I don't have the permission to do that. And if I try to change the owner it says my user name is not valid.
How is the security setup on the TC?
The security is a bit tricky.. I must admit since I run windows computer in the network, that I simply turn on the guest account to read and write access. For a business setup that might not be adequate but it allows me full access to all the files.
If you setup the TC with user accounts then you are in trouble. That makes it very difficult to access, especially if one person already has the file open you may find a second user cannot login. I am not sure as I have avoided the security. IMHO it is meaningless.. since anyone with physical access to the TC can press the reset for one second and has full access.. and can add or change passwords.

Networking issues with Windows SBS Server 2003

I have 3 G5 running on a recently installed 10.4.8, they were all previously running 10.3.9. They all connect to a network drive with folders that have color labels on them (only 2 blue and green). In 10.3.9 the labels were fine, now when the machine connects to the server the labels do not refresh utill you have been throught them and selected them all. I have tried delabeling and then relabeling them in 10.4 but it does not help. I have also tried it on another site and it does exactly the same. It also does not seem to matter what protcol you use to connect to the server (AFP, SMB, TCP/IP).
Anyone come across this before and know any fixes?

I dont really have much to offer here except that we use afp with our SBS server and this hasnt come up... on any of our 10.4.x machines.

Link to Network Drive with Spaces

I need to create a link in SharePoint 2010 that points to a network drive with spaces in the title. SharePoint substitutes %20 for spaces, but I need the space character.
For example:
file:///\\company\foldername works
file:///\\company\folder name does not work, it becomes
file:///\\company\folder%20name
Has anyone run into this issue before?

Hi Andy,
20% represents space in url encoding and it is hardcoded. I don’t think it is better to remain space character in the link.

Here is a thread discuss about that:

"in-network" email with integrated search-able database for printer room.

Hi,
I would like the following procedure to replace the current method of hand writing notes which are associated with files that are put in a drop box by employees to be printed in the printer room.
They're are about 30 employees that I want to be able to send an “in-network” email with as much as a 2 MB file attachment along with a template describing the file attachment to the printer room were there are 4 computers. The file attachment should go directly to the print server and the template explaining the file attachment along with who and when it was sent to go to a different computer (a PC - could be a MAC) containing one tracking data base. The data base would be integrated with the in network email. The data base would keep track of all the emails and attachments. The data base would be search-able and easy to back up. Their also should also be a pop up notification when new emails/print jobs arrive.
Computers: Two Print servers controlling two printers each. One Xserve. 30 Mac's running OS X.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jason

No easy way of doing this with existing server tools.
Your best bet is to get a professional on site and you will need extra software to be written for you.

WiFi Network Name with Underscore Special Characters Issue

Turns out that iPod Touch doesn't like wireless network names with special characters (e.g. underscores) in them (I had 2 underscores in mine).
It will establish a connection, get an IP address, even use WEP but won't talk to the Internet if the wireless access point name has an underscore in it. If you can change your wireless network name to remove the special characters the iPod Touch becomes very and will connect using the Internet.

I'm looking for a way to escape all characters (not only the minus sign) except for a specific character. Kind of like 'unescaping' a specific character (the '%' sign) within braces {}What about if you apply a function like regexp_replace to escape all known "specific characters", and then unescape the particular specific character again back as e.g. in
SQL> select 'a.da-df%df*' str, replace (
                                               regexp_replace (
                                                    'a.da-df%df*',
                                                    '([[:punct:]])',
                                                    '\\\1'
                                               str2
from dual
STR         STR2
a.da-df%df* a\.da\-df%df\*
1 row selected.i.e. don't escape with curly brackets but with the backslash character.
You can then use this string in your query like in
WHERE CONTAINS(r.POI_NAME, '<query> <textquery grammar="context"> <progression><seq>'
||'aaab'
||'</seq><seq>'
||'aaa\-b'
||'%</seq></progression> </textquery> </query> ' ,1)> 2

Using network drive with time machine. IS IT POSSIBLE?

There are lots of discussion on using network drives with time machine. I have not been able to make them work. Could somebody tell me if this is possible

Time Machine does not back up to network drives, except Time Capsules or USB drives connected to an Airport Extreme, or a drive on a Mac running Leopard.
Here's the official word: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733
You may find some "hacks" that might make it work, in some cases, to a degree. But use them at your own risk.
First, since this is *unsupported by Apple,* there's nowhere to go when there's trouble.
Second, you're risking a future update preventing it from working, and perhaps rendering your backups useless.
If you still think this is a good idea, do yourself a favor before you bet your backups on it: be sure it really works, at least for now:
1. Get a copy of CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! or the like, and make a full bootable clone of your internal HD, on an external disk. Test it by booting from it. Then reboot from your internal HD.
2. Let TM do it's first, full, initial backup.
3. Attempt a full system restore (like you'll need when, not if, your internal HD fails), via the instructions in item 14 of the of the Frequently Asked Questions post at the top of this forum.
Again, even if it works today, tomorrow is another day . . .

Networking troubles with ABIT BP6 board and Solaris 8

Hi, Im trying to install the Solaris 8 software on my ABIT BP6 board with a Compaq NetFlex3 10TX NIC. This is a SMP board (dual celeron) but is not on the HCL (the NIC is).
The installation gives no problems at all (except for a memory conflict between memory devices), and SunOS works pretty well except for networking... using ifconfig -a shows me the networking interface and the loopback interface but I can't ping outside of the Solaris machine (or ping to the Solaris machine from an other machine).
I know that the board is not on the HCL but I had no networking troubles with Solaris 8 early access.
After instalation of the software and the reboot, I get the status as below:
>

Hostname: MILLIWAYS
Configuring /dev and /devices
Configuring the /dev directory (compatibility devices)
The system is coming up. Please wait.

As you can see I get a time out while configuring the NIC. I tried a lot of different things (and some bad ones like using the device driver disk of the EA version with the cd's of the final version but no luck there...)
Anyone with the same problems or any help?
Thanx, Marcel

Hi maeck,
I'm sorry that my message is off the topic. Could you help me with a problem that I have with Abit BP6 + Solaris 8 combo?
I'm encountering error message on console screen during booting/reboot/shutting down like "APIC error interrupt on CPU 0. Status=2" where CPU can be 0 or 1, status can be 0, 2, 4 or 6.
If I let my dual Celeron400 run at 400MHz, the frequency of errors is few and far between. Though it still happens. If I overclock them to 558MHz like I udually do, it will show at least 4 times during a booting process. I've tried MPS 1.1 and 1.4 settings. I've also tried turning off all cache, delayed transaction, passive release settings.
In addition, the overclocked system tends to lock up while it runs flawless in Windows 2000 Professional and Redhat 6.1. Do you have any similar experience?
My system config:
Abit BP6 motherboard
400 MHz CPU X 2
GlobalWin FEP32 X 2
128M SDRAM
Creative Labs 3DBlaster TNT2
13GB Maxtor DiamondPlus 6800

How do I allow network volumes with the latest iMovie 10.0?

How do I allow network volumes with the latest iMovie 10.0? The old "defaults write -app iMovie allowNV -bool true" doesn't work anymore.

So, apparently, while iMovie is open, I have to EJECT the Net Drive. When I remount it, iMovie immediately picks it up.
That said... the update leaves much to be desired. Many of the Projects have unlinked video (even though the same update using a Firewire HD shows the video linked).

How to configure BODS in network environment with NAT ?

Hi Team,
Now we are working on POC of BO Data Services 4.0 with SI partner and they reported us that a communication error (error code:BODI-1241023) occurred when they started a job from Designer.
They can do it without any problems in the following two cases.
1. from Designer which is installed in the CMS/JobServer machine
2. from Designer which is installed in local PC within internal network (without firewall / NAT)
That is, the cause is Firewall with NAT(Network Address Translation) between Designer and JobServer/CMS.
And, they can log on to CMS/JobServer with NAT environment, however, cann't start a job from Designer.
The port #3500 for JobServer is open. They confirmed that they could log on to the JobServer in the event log
of the JobServer.
That is, Designer -> CMS/JobServer communication is OK, but JobServer -> Designer communication must be NG.
Could you advise us how to configure BODS both client and server sides in the network environment with NAT ?
Thanks and best regards,

HI Buddy,
You can achieve this by $FLEX$, create first value set, and assign it to first field. Create second value set based on first value set using $FLEX$.
