Printer name under Win NT/2000

Hi,
Does anyone have a VI or an idea how to retrieve the "Default printer
name" under Windows NT/2000? I am using LabVIEW 6.02.
Thanks,
Patrick Pol

Patrick,
I can see where you might want this info, but I know all the Print Report' VIs default to the default printer; however, if you weren't sure which printer was presently set as the default, then it would matter when you print - such as a color printer vs. B/W.
Here are 2 links to some default printer VIs which may help, if not, just use them as info.

Wifi asks for user name under win 7 ?

I have a unibody MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz, everything is working properly under OS X 10.6. I also have win 7 installed, and everything seems fine there also, except when i try to connect to a wireless network, windows asks me for a user name and a password. I do have the password, but i've never had to insert a user name before. I have no idea what the user name is.
The funny thing is that, a few weeks ago my wifi was working properly under win 7, but since I moved to a new location, i haven't been able to connect to that network anymore. In Snow Leopard same wifi works fine.

You can't differentiate between subdirectories in Firefox, so even if you would edit the URL then it wouldn't work and you might corrupt the file by doing that.

Forms 6i webforms under Win 2000

I was trying to use Forms 6i under win 2000 and I get a message on the install indicating webforms only runs on NT. I understand the problem, but how long will it be before you have a version for win 2000?
Or is their additional docs that would help with this install?
Thanks
Mark

Frank:
On the install I have a box come up that says
"You have selected Developer 2000 Webforms which is installble only on Windows NT 4.0 only. Press OK to continue to install other modules or press cancel to terminate".
Other modules install. Just the webforms does not.
This was our first install on Win 2000. We had planned 2000 as the operating system for 9iAS also. Are we better off just going back to NT 4.0 for now? Is 9iAS win 2000 ready?
Thanks

Remove Printer Name from Crystal Report

How can i remove the printer name from the Crystal Report so that the PrinterName property of the CRAXDRT.Report object in the RDC SDK is blank WITHOUT having the "No Printer" Option checkbox checked?
Here's the scenerio. When I first create a Report and don't go into Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. If I go into Page Setup and explicitly select a printer, PrinterName property equals the name of the printer selected. If I check the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. But if i go back in and uncheck the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, the PrinterName property equals the name of my Windows Default Printer.

I'm still not sure what is unclear about my first question. And I'm not sure how any of the info you are requesting is going to make any difference in answering my question. And I'm not sure how your analogy fits here but ..
Version of CR = 11.0.0.895
CR Service Packs applied = None
Web or Win app? = Win App
OS? = Windows XP Service Pack 3
Development language? = Both Visual Basic 6 and C#.Net 2008
Method of CR files deployment = email the .RPT file to a client
Where were the runtime files downloaded from? = Runtimes are installed from Merge Modules donwload from SAP site
What is the version of the craxdrt.dll on the deployed box? = 11.0.0.893
So here are the exact steps so you can understand what is going on:
I have the Crystal Reports Application open side-by-side with my Visual Basic development environment in debug mode so i can step through the code using the RDC SDK.
1. I open the Crystal Reports Application and create a brand new report - "Test.RPT" and DO NOT go into Page Setup at all and save the report.
2. In my Visual Basic development environment, i run the code that will generate the report, Here's the exact code
    Dim m_crApp As CRAXDRT.Application
    Dim m_crReport As CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
    Set m_crReport = New CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crReport = m_crApp.OpenReport("Test.RPT")
3. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
4. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and check the "No Printer" option.
5. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
6. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is still blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
7. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and uncheck the "No Printer" option. I have NOT specified any printer, nor have i clicked the "Printer..." button to setup a printer....i have just unchecked the "No Printer" option
8. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
9. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is now set to my WINDOWS DEFAULT PRINTER, yet i had not specified any printer.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to "
MyNetwork\MyPrinter"
PROBLEMS:
1. The client needs the report to go to the default windows printer of their machine
2. If the "No Printer" Option is checked, the Report does not print at all
3. If the report is set to MY default windows printer and i give it to the client, at times it takes upwards of to a minute for the Print Dialog to disply. As i've read on other forum posts, it appears Crystal is looking for MY printer on the clients machine and takes a minute before i realizes it can't find it and then sets it to the CLIENTS default windows printer.
4. The client believes it is unreasonable to wait a minute for the print dialog to appear ...and i agree.
5. I cannot change the code to use the Select Printer in the RDC SDK - it's a long explanation why but just suffice it to say that i cannot do this.
All i want to do is either:
1. Remove the Printer Name in the actual report from the Crystal Reports designer - basically undoing what Crystal did when i went into Page Setup.
2. Via the RDC SDK, be able to detect the "No Printer" option is selected. Checkign CRAXDRT.PrinterName equal to "" is not an option.

PSE 7.0 Invalid Serial Number under Win 8.1

Moved from a Dell PC running Win XP SP3 to an HP with an 3.80 GHz AMD 6200 6 core processor, 10 Gb RAM running Win 8.1. Had installed PSE 7.0 four or five years ago on the Dell - it meets my limited needs and I don't really want to upgrade. I re-installed PSE 7.0 (from the Adobe download site) and registered the product on Adobe.com. However, the program refuses to accept the serial number, claiming it is "not valid." Tried Adobe chat and Manoj Kumar confirmed the serial number was valid. However, he then stated that PSE 7.0 is not supported on Win 8.1 and he is consequently unable to assist further. Since the program works fine other than for not accepting a valid serial number, I don't see that Win 8.1 is an issue. Any thoughts? Is it helpful to copy any applicable files from the old computer?

Having searched for similar issues with other PSE users, it is apparent Adobe does not intend to respond - none of the numerous questions on serial numbers have received a response. I found the answer to my question, but the solution will not help anyone who can't locate their original installation disks.
There is an apparent difference in the serial numbers that are issued on-line during product downloads and those that are printed on the box / disk sleeve. I managed to dig up the six year old install disk and initiated setup.The first pop up box requests a serial number and I entered my original number. The installation proceed without incident, other than requesting a file update which I obtained from Adobe downloads. The serial number which was rejected when downloading a copy of PSE 7.0 from Adobe works just fine in the identical disk based install.
And, a note in passing to "Manjo Kumar:" PSE 7.0 runs just fine under Win 8.1. Please stop using the excuse that Win 8.1 is not supported and give users the real answer: "If you download a copy, you need a downloaded serial number. If you originally installed from disk, you need to re-install from disk. A disk based serial number won't work on a download copy."
Short sighted attempt by Adobe to force users to purchase another copy of previously installed software.

IPhoto 7.1.1 Under Leopard 10.5.1 Will not print photo under "save as PDF"

iPhoto 7.1.1 Under Leopard 10.5.1.
Select a photo, choose "print" icon at bottom of iPhoto window.
Choose "print".
Choose "Save as PDF".
Result: Unknown error message appears with white space (no text) in message box, but with "OK" button.
Hit "OK button".
RESULT: iPhoto prints a screen shot of the iPhoto window and renders it to a PDF file.
In other words, *the print function under iPhoto does not work*. It yields an error every time that does not have a message, then *instead of printing the selected photo, takes a PDF screen shot of the iPhoto window*.
This is an example of poor programming. And of course, there is no way to fix it, or to get help.
Is anyone else having this problem?

This is an example of poor programming.
How do you come to this conclusion. It's working fine for me. You're the first to report such an issue.
First repair disk permissions with Disk Utility and delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. A corrupted pref file can cause all sorts of unusual performance problems. If that doesn't help, log into another account and try from there. If it still doesn't work a reinstall of iPhoto seems warranted. To reinstall iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
It iPhoto performs correctly in the other account then your primary account is the culprit and may be a preference file other than iPhoto's that's at fault. To determine if that's the case try the following;
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Quality of print Mac vs Win

since 08/2009 I am New on Mac.
in former times my printer Canon iP4300 worked under Win XP very well, the photos where fine.
now under Mac OS X the colors are much too dark. I can not print my photos.
I have installed the newest drivers.
i have tested colorsync: all is good.
What to do??

I have there the option "select printersoftware" or "other".
How can you say, its the right?
Thank You for information.
I have downloaded the original canon printer driver, but i can not find, where it was saved. So I can not select it.
It sounds like the Canon software is not installed. Download it again and install it. Delete your current printers and re-create them with the correct drivers.

My podcast is now live on itunes but I would like to change the name under the Podcast title from my real name to artist name. How can i do this?

I have started a podcast page where i will be uploading weekly radio shows. Id like for it to say my artist name not my real name under the Podcast Title but i cant seem to see how to change that. Can someone please help?
Thank you!

Your name is normally carried in the 'itunes:author' tag and appears in smaller print above the title. You can change either this or the title itself in the same place in whatever program you are using to make your podcast and reupload the feed. You don't need to take any further action; the Store willn probably take a few days to update.
However, if you are going to change the title be careful: some podcast creatioin methods give the rss file a filename drawn from the title, and if you change the title it may change that. You can't have that happen because the Store will lose contact with the feed if its URL changes (there is a way round this which I will explain if you really need me to - do not proceed without checking on this). If your feed filename is something like rss.xml or feed.xml then there isn't a problem about the title.

Stopping a print job under reader

After staring a print of a document under acrobat reader, there is no way (that I can find) to stop the printing. Started printing a form and did not realize it was 6 pages long. I only needed to print the first 2 pages - not all the instruction pages. Adobe acrobat reader's print control closes after the print task starts and doesn't allow stopping the print job. And shutting off the printer responses can save themselves the trouble of responding with that answer.

The print spooler wasn't available when I wanted to stop the print job. Apparently adobe reader doesn't operate in conjunction with the print spooler app under the Windows 2000 OS.

Enhancing the DOS Experience Under Win 7

Let’s be honest, more than a few of us still have a DOS application we like to run once in a while. Concern about losing access to these old family favorites may be keeping some of us from upgrading out of XP long after we would otherwise have done so. If you’ve tried running a DOS application under the Win 7 beta or Vista, you are already aware of the problems. The new operating systems will run DOS applications, but not very enthusiastically.
For one thing, shortcuts created for running DOS-based programs under Win 7 or Vista will display only an unattractive blank vanilla icon on the desktop. For another, all you get to run your DOS application in is a cramped little window almost too small to be usable.
Here’s a way to improve on both of these situations and enhance your DOS experience under Win 7 or Vista. It is adapted from a posting by Edward Mendelson on a Word Perfect-DOS site a year or so ago.
First, be sure you have copied all the files you need for your DOS program to a folder you can locate again when prompted. Now right-click on the desktop. Select New from the menu, then Shortcut, and then enter cmd.exe when asked for the location of the item. Click on Next, and type the name you want to use in the shortcut. For example, if the program you want to use is Professional File, as it is in my case, type in Pro File and then click Finish. Next, right-click on the resulting generic shortcut and choose Properties. Select the Shortcut tab and note what is now displayed in the Target field.
Do not alter what you see there, but move the cursor to the right of cmd.exe, type a space, then add this text:
/c c:\(folder location)\(executable file name). In my computer this would be /c c:\PF\PF.exe. Notice that the text to add begins with a forward slash, then the letter "c", then a space, then the folder location.
Now you are ready to select your icon. Click on Change Icon button and type moricons.dll in the space under "look for icons…" at the top. Click OK and select the icon you want from the choices offered. Click OK again, and your new shortcut, complete with a new icon, will be displayed on the desktop.
The next step is to help resolve the problem of the cramped window you get to work with for your DOS application. You can’t actually increase the number of lines allocated to the DOS window, but you can make it bigger by choosing a larger font size. Right-click on your new shortcut and then the Font tab. Now select the Lucia Console font size you want. I find 20 about right, but you can pick a larger size if you prefer. The working window will enlarge in response to the font size change. Click OK, and you will finally have both a shortcut icon of your choice for your DOS application, and a window large enough to actually use.

A very good idea: To write the name of a program to be executed by CMD as parameter!
For example, I’m using a batch file INI.BAT containing the command PATH C:\UXD;%PATH% and a menu display.
The directory C:\UXD is my User eXecution Directory containing all the old program files to be executed in the CMD environment. By adding
this directory to the system PATH variable, it is accessible as long as the CMD environment is active.
One more hint optimizing the CMD window: By right click on the CMD icon, you can open the properties (in German *Eigenschaften”)
window. You click on the register card “Layout” and can now enlarge the CMD window according to your monitor space.
A very good idea is to click on the options register card and specify more buffer space. I’m using 8
buffers with 200 lines allowing to scroll the CMD window. After typing HELP CMD for example, I can study easily the long help text of more than 100 lines.

Plug-in under Win 2K

I've read conflicting messages regarding the Java plug-in under Win 2K. Here is our situation:
1) We currently use the 1.2.2 version of the plug-in. Everything works fine under Win NT.
2) When installing the 1.2.2 plug-in under Win 2K (not logged in as an administrator, or with the proper privs), the plug-in would not install.
3) When installing the 1.2.2 plug-in under Win 2K (logged in as an administrator), the plug-in installed successfully.
Questions:
1) Is this a known problem (to Sun) with the Java plug-in under Win 2K? If so, is there a solution other than upgrading to 1.3.x (if upgrading is indeed a solution)? We want to upgrade to 1.4 when it is ready.
2) I'm guessing (I don't know anything about Win 2K) that "normal" users are not given authority to install the plug-in (or anything else) on their own machine? How do "normal" users install software?
3) Is there a site (Microsoft or otherwise) that discusses Win 2K security/administrators?
4) What other problems will I run into once I get the plug-in installed (as an administrator or otherwise) under Win 2K?
I know this has been talked about on several other threads... just trying to get a clear answer.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

"Normal Users" don't install software on NT/2000. You need to have rights to do so such as being a member of the Administrators group.
After installation of the JRE/JDK from 1.2 to 1.3.1 I've not noticed any problems from Java or the plug-in.
There is this one really peculiar thing that we have happen on all of our machines that we install Java onto, reguardless of the machine, and consequently run Java apps on:
They work--no DLL Hell, and they keep on working after system updates, patches, and other application updates. Peculiar thing, but we love it!

But I can't find something similar in the printer setup under Mac OS. Any idea?

Got a problem with connecting my daughter's Macbook to a HP printer in the LAN at home. For PC running on Win7, I can specify the printer's TCP/IP port under printer setup to establish the LAN connection. But I can't find something similar in the printer setup under Mac OS. Any ideas? Thanks

It looks like the developer's of that app, or Apple, have got the wrong search name for it in the store - you could try contacting the developer and pointing it out to them so that they can get it corrected. Currently it looks like you can only find the app either by using the link (as you've included in your post), or by searching for the developer's name (Page Foundry Inc) in the store.
For searching the store, when you search for something then the first result(s) should be those whose title matches what you searched for - so if you search for 'ebook reader' then as there is an app with that exact name it will be first in the results, other apps will then be listed after it.

I am trying to print from iphoto to my printer. When I click print on under File tab it says that a theme cannot be found and that a theme needs to be intalled? Why is this window popping up and how I install a "theme" on iphoto?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Error 0x00000709 operation could not be compleated Double check the printer name etc.

After installing my new printer and removing all other printers from my computer I now can not make the only printer listed as my default printer. I get this error 0X00000709 operation could not be completed Double check the printer name and make sure it is connected. I have done all that over and over again. I also I have reinstalled the old printer software and tried to default to my new printer at that time and still the same error. I have checked my register and it has the old printer listed but does not allow me to change it. I now have removed all but the new printer from my computer but I still can not make it my default printer. Programs such as Adobe only recognizes the default printer (which is not there any more) and don't even list the new printer as an option. The printer works just fine accept with the programs that uses the default printer. The Windows Hardware and Device Troubleshooting finds the problem (printer not set as default)but can not fix it.
I sure wish someone out there could help me get rid of the error and allow me to default my printer again. I have noticed other people have had this same issue with error 0X00000709 using other Windows versions as well. I have been trying to resolve this issue for the past three months and would appreciate any and all ideas.
I have an HP Pavilion elite HPE 337C computer running with Window 7 and I installed my new HP LaserJet PRO CM1415fnw color MFP printer. My old printer that I removed (but is still listed in my Regester) was an HP 6500 inkJet.

After doing some research on the net:
This link provided an answer:
https://exploreb2b.com/articles/solving-error-0x00000709-cant-set-default-printer-problem
Regedit -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software->Microsoft->Windows NT->Current Version->Windows
One of the entries you should see in the right hand pane is“Device”. If the value for “Device” as noted under the “Data” area is anything other than the printer you are using, then highlight “Device” in the right hand pane with the mouse and press the delete key to remove it. (I edited it and put the name of the printer I wanted to be the default)
