OfficeJet G85xi: best solution for connecting to network w/o going through a computer.

I want to get rid of my office computer, which serves as the print server for our OfficeJet G85xi. The all-in-one is fine, really would prefer to not buy another printer, but in looking at print servers, it's very confusing as to which one will work with my printer, and do what I want. They also seem to cost almost as much as what I could get a new printer for. But I have bought one of the newer all-in-ones for an office elsewhere, and the newer ones seem to be made much cheaper, seem flimsy and 'plastic-y'.
Any advice as to what solution seems best? We mostly use our printer for regular printing, mostly black, but some color. We scan/copy some, and also fax some. I really like the versatility of the printer I have now, being able to use different types/sizes of paper easily, load paper easily, etc..., and as I said, would prefer to not replace it. What I would really like is something that attaches to the printer, where I can attach a network cable, and has some way of working with it if the printer seems to have a problem communicating with the network.

You might find the following a little helpful. The G85 had a sister product called the G95 that came with networking, but really the only difference is that the G95 came with a Jetdirect 170X. So if you got a Jetdirect 170X, you'd have the print server that the G85 was designed to work with. I don't know what operating system you are using so you might run into problems finding software that supports all the features over a network, but I'd think you ought to be able to get printing to work well enough.

What is my best solution for connecting my Roland TD-20 Drumkit to garageband?

I am loking for the most cost effective interface for my Roland kit. My delima is that I have garageband on my iphone (which I use to play tracks from my friends) that I hook up to my Rolands input to rehearse the tracks, and i have a PC which I would like to use to record my tracks with theirs. Yah, I know, I need a Mac, can't aford one now, any suggestions?

Replace your hard drive with one that has a larger capacity.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

Best solution for media storage

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for suggestions/how-to on the best setup for media storage. We have two editors (and two computers - Mac Pro PowerPC and iMac Intel). We are currently using an internal 500 GB slot on the Mac Pro along with 1 additional external 1.5 TB drive. Then, on our iMac we use a 1.5 TB external drive. We use, for external drives, LaCie.
Here's our problem. We are running out of space. So, what is the best solution for media storage? Should we get a small rack for our external drives from LaCie and daisy chain them? Or, should we get a server? The only problem I have with a server is connection speed...we, most of the time, have a slow connection at our college.
p.s. here is a link to LaCie's website listing a rack...and we have the d2 drives. So, do you daisy chain them or plug each one in individually?

Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone!
Thank you all for your suggestions. I agree...Drobo looks great, but I am finding more and more bad news when it comes to editing. It looks like a great solution for archiving. I received another solution with great reviews from one of my colleagues contacts. They work for a big company.
Hope this helps...something else to add to the mix.
*Our edit suite storage solution is a Facilis Terrablock 24EX unit. (http://www.facilis2.com/24ex.html) It has 18TB of space and is connected on 4GB Fibre channel to both suites. On top of that we have an Apple X-Serve running Final Cut Server that sorts and catalogs all the video we put in so network users (Mac and PC) can search and look at media from their workstations. We just put this in a few months ago. Before that we had a Rorke Data Galaxy HDX with 6TB of space on a 2GB Fibre Channel connection. ( http://www.rorke.com/av/galaxy-hdx.cfm ) It’s now a backup storage unit. Both systems have excellent performance though, we upgraded mostly for space and the server software.*
Again, thank you all for your help. I will research all suggestions.

What is teh best solution for my Problem??

what is the best solution for developeing an intranet "PMS" which should handles data (connection to postgresql) and runs some algorithm (for planing puropose) im background ??

2 developeing an application wich will be manging everything ??? (a kind of programm with its own GUI)
3 you may have an other idea solution and ill be gald for any advices
ps sorry for my english its not that great ;)

Web applications are all the rage these days and IMO rightly so as they greatly reduce deployment cost and headaches.
They do have some drawbacks though which for you might be important.
I can imagine that sooner or later (probably sooner in my experience) a requirement to interface with hardware installed on the client machines will emerge.
Whether this is a barcode scanner or a chipcard reader to get client information from some form of card issued to the client, or maybe a label printer to print out labels for medication bottles doesn't matter, you need to access the client machine directly.
Web applications have great difficulty with that (in fact, it's all but impossible).
You could go for an applet solution but that's contrived at best and still leaves the same problems.
So in your situation an old-fashioned client/server application (maybe using web services to communicate with the serverside application) is likely the best longterm solution.
You'd have the database remote so everyone has access to the same data, being accessed through processes run on the server and called by the clients. These can also do most of the business logic, leaving the clients relatively dumb responsible mainly for data validation and entry and presentation of the results.

Full mesh VPN solution for on MPLS network with PE and CPEs

Hi,
We are trying to evaluate some best solution for Hub-Spoke mesh vpn solution in a MPLS network. The VPN hub router will be in PE router and all the VPN spoke will be in CPE.
Can someone please let us know what will be the best vpn solution, we understands that there will be some technical limitations going with GETVPN but still we did counld find any documenation for possiblity of using DMVPN.
How about the recent flexvpn, can fex-vpn work on this requirement, where can i get a design/configuration document.?
thanks in advance.

Hello,
GetVPN is intended for (ANY-to-ANY) type of VPN communication, over an MPLS network with Hub and Spoke Topology, your best Option is to look for Cisco (DMVPN) implementation where this type of VPN is primarily designed for Hub & Spoke.

You appear to have two issues: 1) a hard drive that is not working properly and 2) files you wish to recover.
Re 1) you need to answer Kappy's questions.
Re 2) does the drive load and can you see your photo files? If so can you copy them to another drive?
Do you not have a backup of the photo files?

SQL Server 2012 - Wat Is The Best Solution For Creating a Read Only Replicated/AlwaysOn Database

Hi there I was wondering if someone may have a best recommendation for the following requirement I have with regards setting up a third database server for reporting?
Current Setup
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise setup at two sites (Site A & Site B).
Configured to use AlwaysOn Availability groups for HA and DR.
Installed on Windows 2012 Servers.
This is all working and failover works fine and no issues. So…
Requirement
A third server needs to be added for the purpose of reporting, to be located on another site (Site C) possibly in another domain. This server needs to have a replicated read only copy of the live database from site A or Site B, whichever is in use. The Site
C reporting database should be as up-to-date to the Site A or Site B database as possible – preferably within a few seconds anyway….
Solution - What I believe are available to me
I believe I can use AlwaysOn and create a ReadOnly replica for the Site C. If so do I assume Site C needs to have the Enterprise version of SQL server i.e. to match Site A & Site B?
Using log shipping which if I am correct means the Site C does not need to be an Enterprise version.
Any help on the best solution for this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

for always on - all nodes should be part of one windows cluster..if there site C is on different domain - I do not think it works.
Logshipping works --as long as the sql on site C is is same or higher version(sql 2012 or above). you can only do read only.
IMHo, if you can make site C in the same domain then, Always is better solution else log shipping
also, if your database has enterprise level features such as - partitonin, data compression -- you cannot restore the database on lower editions- so you need to have enterprise edition.
Hope it Helps!!

What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC? Assume I'm a casual user.

What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC? Assume I'm a casual user.
I am lead to believe by some real smart guys on the Apple site that If I have the Apple Store partition my iMAC and add the full suite of Office products on that partition, I can run the few Access programs I have and need to run.
Comments encouraged. Thank you in advance for your consideration and help.

You would have to install Windows, then install Microsoft Office Professional for Windows on it To install Windows you will have to choose between Boot Camp (faster, free) and a Virtual Machine (simpler, slower, easier to backup)
You should try LibreOffice (free), it can open Access files, it may not have all Access's feature set though, worth a try.

Best Solution for Archiving Table data

Hi All,
I have a table with huge data. It is not partitioned table.
On an average per day 10000 records will be inserted into this table. Now I want to archive(backup)
every one years data manually and keep in safe location and hence delete those archived rows
from the table. Whenever required it should be easily imported back to this table. All this happens through
Application.
One appraoch in my mind right now, is transferring the data from table to flat file with comma separted,
and whenever required again importing back to the table from Flat file using external tables concept.
Can any body suggest what is best solution for this.
Thanks

The best solution would be partitioning.
Any other solution requires DML - running DELETE and INSERT transactions to remove a data set and to add a data set (if need be) again.
With partitioning this is achieved (in sub-seconds) using DDL by exchanging a partition's contents with that of a table. Which means that after the archived data has been loaded (SQL*Loaded, Import, etc) into a table (and indexes created), that table (with indexes) is "swapped" into the partition table as a partition.

What is best solution for backup ?

Our environment consisted of RAC (2 nodes). we are trying to back up our database using RMAN with NetBackup.
we also have other different databases need to be backed up.
In RAC case, what is best solution for backing up the database ?
As I mentioned above, we are using RMAN for backup our RAC with NetBackup.
Actually, the RMAN is not simple utility for me.
Is there any other way to back up the database in our situation without rman.
I need some advice from all of you.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Justin
There are many possible ways to backup your database. You must decide the one that suits your environment.
Following is the list of options that you have.
1. Take Online Backups
Issue this command to freeze tablespaces
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tblspcname BEGIN BACKUP;
Copy all the files belonging to this tablespace to your backup location using OS commands.
Release the tablespace by using this command.
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tblspcname END BACKUP;
To find the data files belonging to a particular tablespace you can issue this statement
SQL>SELECT file_name, tablespace_name FROM dba_data_files ORDER BY tablespace_name;
2. If your db size is not BIG then you can take logical backups. Logical Backups can be FULL or incremental. In 10g you can have filesets to spilit your logical backups in more than one file with specified sizes. (By Logical Backups I mean EXPORT).
To take export for example issue this command.
ORACLE_HOME\bin\exp file=fullpath+filename.dmp log=fullpath+logfilename.log FULL=Y userid=system/pwd@dbconnectstring
To get full list of export parameters type
ORACLE_HOME\bin\exp help=y
3. RMAN (Strongly recommended) but you ruled out its possibility so I won't elaborate on that.
4. COLD BACKUP
To perform this type of backup you will need to shutdown your database by issuing this command.
SQL>SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
(On RAC you will need to shutdown all the instances before copying files to the backup location).
Use OS copy command to copy files to backup location.
(This method is not recommended as it will flush your SGA and your client will complain about performance for the first few hours).
Let me know if you need more details.
Hopefully this helps.

Best practices for connecting to DB

Hi,
I am having 3 different java classes which will contact the DB for getting the data from the table. I wrote a separate java class for DB connection like this :
public class DBConnection {
private Connection con;
public Connection getConnection() {
try {
Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/StrutsDB", "username", "password");
} catch (SQLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(DBConnection.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(DBConnection.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
return con;
How to use this single connection object in all of the 3 classes? What are all the ways of doing so?
Is there any best practices for connecting to DB?
Thanks in advance,

The problem with "best practice" is it really depends on your situation. If you are creating a single user, desktop application then what you are doing will work but would be more efficient if the connection was declared as static and you used the singleton pattern.
public class DBConnection {
    private static final Connection con;
    private DBConnection() {
        try {
            Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver");
            con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/StrutsDB", "username", "password");
        } catch (SQLException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(DBConnection.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(DBConnection.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    public static Connection getConnection() {
        return con.
}The private constructor guarantees only one instance of the class will be created (since you can't use 'new' to create one) and initialized the database connection. Then any other object that require a connection simply call DBConnection.getConnection() and they will get the same database connection each time.
Note that this is a little simplistic and is not thread safe. If your classes will be executing on different threads you will need a more sophisticated approach. You will also need to make sure you commit or rollback any transactions when done or the next time you get the connection you may be in the middle of an existing transaction.

Best Solution for Managing Music

I would like to hear some advice/suggestions for managing my digital music files. I have a small iPod, only 16GB, but I don't like to use a lot of disk space on my computer to keep music files. What are some of my best options for organizing my digital music music both on my computer and on my iPod?

L2L vpns solution is suitable for your scenario, depending on your traffic load for each site u would have to do assesment on that, any asa5510 or higher in an active/standby architecture with stateful failover sure can do the job. As for conflicting LAN ips there is ways to work around that by using NAT or Policy NAT.
