Printer networking issue between 32 bit and 64 bit windows 7 computers

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909G printer that I'm trying to network between 2 pcs, both on Windows 7.  One is a 32 bit and the other is a 64 bit.
The printer won't stay available to both pcs.  I've tried having it directly connected to the router and directly connected to one of the pcs (done with both computers).  It will work initially but won't stay available to both pcs.  Right now I've given up and just unplug and plug in the usb cable for whichever pc wants to be able to print, which is becoming a pain.
Help!

Hi Nallin,
Getting a printer to be shared between a 32 bit and 64 bit machine under Windows can be a little tricky. Here is a great article that explains how to do so:

  • Compatibility issues between R12 and report builder 2.5

    Hi,

    Thanks

    As my understanding there is no issue for Forms 4.5 and Reports 2.5 with R12.
    You can develop report with Report 6i can be deployed with R12.You cannot use Forms 4.5, Reports 2.5 or Developer (Forms/Reports) 6i with Oracle EBs R12 as it is not certified. The only supported version is Developer 10g

  • PhotoShop CS5 with Windows 7 64 bits and/or Windows 7 32 bits

    Hello
    I just bought a new computer with an Intal QuadCore, 8 Gb of memory and Windows 7 - 64 bits edition    
    I plan to upgrade from a former Photoshop CS3 onWindows XP and it was a 32 bits edition         
    Is the Photoshop CS5 supported on BOTH Win 7 32 AND 64 bits ? Or are they different versions ?
    I plan to either have a dual boot Win 7 32 Bits  -    Win 7  64 bits or separate hard disk on racks, so I'll still be able to use 32 bits softwazre that don't run on 64bits
    But if PhotoShop CS5 comes in 2 versions, I need to decide which one I should buy
    Thanks for any help you vcan provide
    have a good day
    PS : Is the problem with PhotoShop CS5 running on AMD processors solved ?

    Windows 7 x64 is a separate build from Windows 7 32 bit.  Windows 7 Ultimate comes with BOTH.
    There isn't a separate package of Photoshop CS5 for 32 bit or 64 bit.  Photoshop (since CS4) installs both 32 bit and 64 bit software on a 64 bit Windows system, or only 32 bit software on a 32 bit Windows system.
    Photoshop CS5 is fine with every variant of Windows 7.
    Photoshop CS5 is reportedly fine with modern AMD processors, though I have only used Intel.
    The detailed system requirements are here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/systemreqs/
    My own (personal, subjective) opinion is that ATI (AMD) video interfaces are better than nVidia.
    Hope this answers your questions.

  • Print quality difference between iphoto and aperture...?

    when ordering books, is there a print quality difference between using iPhoto and Aperture? or are they sent to the same lab?
    it's possible i may have some setting wrong, but when i order a book using iphoto, i never really feel the quality is that great. it's good, i just feel it could be a lot better. the print quality sort of reminds me of newsprint, albeit high quality newsprint. similar sized prints made at home on my basic 3-in-1 printer look better.
    thanks...

    Previews are what you view on your display. When you import a photo into Aperture (and I'm pretty sure iPhoto as well), your computer automatically generates a preview for quick viewing. The original images are stored in your library, but it is the preview that you see.
    In Aperture, you are able to set the size and quality of these previews. When sharing photos between Aperture and iPhoto, the process is as follows:
    Let's say that your images are stored in Aperture, but you also want to be able to view them in iPhoto without taking up too much room on your hard drive. Essentially, if you were to import the originals into iPhoto as well, you would be storing two exact, yet separate copies of the same image on your hard drive. As you are aware, with large images (whether JPEG's, and especially RAW) this would put quite a tax on your storage capacity after not too long.
    So, you have your images in one or the other (in this case Aperture), but you want to play around with them in iPhoto. What you can do, is open iPhoto, go to the File menu and then select, Show Aperture Library. This will open a window with all of the contents of your Aperture Library. You can then drag any images you want into iPhoto . The only thing is, you are not dragging the original JPEG's, but rather, the previews of those images. If you have those previews set to a lower quality (again for capacity concerns), you will only have lower quality and lower detailed images in iPhoto. These images might not be ideal, or even suitable for printing high quality prints. The previews that you generate in Aperture though can be adjusted to be extremely high quality with no size limits.
    My thinking was that since you mentioned Aperture, it sounded like you had experience with working with it and with ordering a photo book through Aperture. I guess you were saying that you ordered via iPhoto, weren't happy with the quality and were wondering if Aperture created books were better.
    Anyway, if this is the case, I cannot answer that for you. I have never ordered a book through Aperture. If the quality of your images is good, you should be able to get a decent product no matter where you order it from. There is not doubt that the materials used and the print shop that does the work makes a difference, but if your images are good, you should still get a decent product through iPhoto. Perhaps iPhoto isn't the way to go though if you have had poor experiences with them.
    If you haven't used Aperture yet, I would highly recommend it though aside from the photo book aspect of this thread. It is a stellar product.
    I hope this helps.

  • Alignment Issues between dreamweaver and browser

    Hoping someone can help, i'm trying to learn how to make

    running into an alignment issue. When I make the html file in
    dreamweaver I seem to have to off set the images and div tags
    inorder for the site to show up aligned properly in firefox,

    code causing this but am not good enough yet to find it or the
    problem, any ideas or guidence would be greatly accepted. below if

    > over a centered frame
    You are not using frames - that's a table.
    Yes - there's a way to do this, but it will involve your
    working in code.
    Make your page left aligned by removing any centering.
    Then position your layer so that it is properly located over
    the table.
    Change this -
    </head>
    to this -
    <style type="text/css">
    #wrapper { width:760px; margin:0 auto;position:relative; }
    /* 760px will display on an 800px screen maximized browser
    window without */
    /* horizontal scrollbars. */
    </style>
    </head>
    (you may need to adjust this width so that it's consistent
    with the width of
    your centering table)
    change this -
    <body ...>
    (the ellipsis represents any other attributes that might be
    mentioned in the
    body tag, and SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED EXPLICITLY!)
    to this -
    <body ...>
    <div id="wrapper">
    and this -
    </body>
    to this -
    <!-- /wrapper -->
    </div>
    </body>
    and see if that helps.

  • What's the difference between redundancy and recovery window for retention?

    Hello all,
    I'm still trying to get a grip on this concept for RMAN backup planning.
    I recently ran into a situation as follows.
    I have the backups set to a redundancy of 1.
    I have instance1, which had GRID jobs to run RMAN backups as follows
    Incremental database level=0 weekly at Wed at 2:30am
    I have daily backups, incremental level=1 each evening
    I have archive log backups through the day.
    What happened, was that apparently on a Tues some time, the development team deleted data from almost every table in their schema.
    The didn't discover this till midday or so on Wednesday.
    I went to try to restore...and RMAN couldn't do it. I had found a SCN for early the Tues they did it...but I got the following error:
    RMAN> RUN
    2> {
    3> SET UNTIL SCN 4590383198282;
    4> RESTORE DATABASE;
    5> RECOVER DATABASE;
    6> }

    ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1
    ORA-01110: data file 1: '+DATADG/instance1/datafile/system.284.697137287'
    From what research I did...it appears that since I did not have a level=0 incremental from before, it could not reset the database back in time. The previous one had been deleted since, I guess I had a redundancy of 1.
    So, I thought I had a week backup they way I have it set..but that assumes that errors are found pretty quickly before the next level=0 backup.
    I want at least 1 to 1.5 weeks worth of backups. I do have the problem that we do not have many tapes in rotation, so I cannot go for too long...may 2x weeks tops.
    I'm trying to rethink my strategy, but I'm confused as I read as to the difference between setting RMAN retention with redundancy vs recovery window.
    Can someone give me an explanation how you understand it? I'm reading on the web and in oracle books, and for some reason, it just isn't clear to me what is the best way to go....especially when I see that redundancy and recovery window might both be set??
    Thank you in advance,
    cayenne

    Dear Cayenne
    AFAIK RMAN doesn't claim that "you haven't enough backup". Please read the error you got carefully
    ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1
    ORA-01110: data file 1: '+DATADG/instance1/datafile/system.284.697137287'
    and check the following link:
    ORA-01180: Cannot create datafile 1 when doing RMAN restore onto 2nd server
    Moreover, could you please use LIST BACKUP command and see whether you have enough backups?
    Read "Redundancy Based Backup Retention Policy" from the following link:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/strategy003.htm#sthref139

  • How do I get all the control buttons in one place in 3.6.16, like they used to be in previous versions? Having the refresh and stop buttons between address and search windows, and the home button to the far right is awful.

    In 3.6.16, the buttons are all over the place. In previous versions, the forward, back, refresh, stop and home buttons were all together. In this version, the refresh and stop buttons are between the address and search windows, and the home button to the far right.
    I would love to have them all together as they used to be - much more user friendly that way. I have tried installing alternate themes, but the coding of this version over-rides the themes.

    Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload and Stop and Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar.
    To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
    * Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
    * Move the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

  • Session expiration issue with parent and child window

    Hi,
    We have two applications (App1 - Implemented using JSF, Spring and Hibernate and App2 -Implemented using Spring MVC, Spring JDBC).
    I have implemented 'Test Access Content' functionality in App1.
    First admin user (Role- Manager) needs to login to App1
    As part of 'Test Access Content' functionality, he enters URL with encrypted key and click 'Test Access' button.
    It opens new window (implemented using java script - window.open) and hits spring controller of App2.
    In spring controller of App2, I am decrypting the key to get user details. After that i am setting user details in session, constructing final URL to display actual content.
    Problem is parent window maintains session till child window renders response. Once child window renders response, parent window loosing session.
    So, if i click any button in parent window after child window renders response, it displays login page as there is no session for parent window.
    Please note that App1 and App2 are sharing same domain. only context paths are different for both apps (app1 and app2).
    Any suggestions on this issue are much appreciated. Please let us know if you have any questions.

    Hi,
    When you open a child window from parent window then you can access child data in the parent window through javascript.
    We have a main web page. There are quite many links on it from which >user can open new web pages but the data is saved when the submit >button on the main page is clicked. Also data that user entered on the >other sub pages is not displayed in the main window.
    1 is this a case of parent and child window.case 1 When you are submitting the main page you need to run javascript function and get data from child windows and save that to database or session. next time when you are displaying the main window you need to query session or database to display the child window data in the main window.
    Case 2> closing child window and you need data in the parent. This can be done in two ways.
    1> When you are closing the child window populate some variables of the main window using javasript.
    2> Save the values in the database or session and refresh the main window and extract data from database or session
    Where should the data be saved that user enetered on the sub pages as the data is not shown in the main page - should it be stored in the session?It is design decision. You can store data in either session or database when you are closing the child window. But ifyou are saving the data on the main page then you can populate main page with child windows data using javascript. Save the data t database when main window data is saved. Depends on business requirements.
    In short if you are saving child windows data in session or database then you need to refresh main screen to pull that data otherwise populate main screen using javascript.
    I hope i answered your questions :) best of luck

  • Creating a simpel network with Lion Server, and add Windows XP computers to it

    We have a Mac Lion Server and 3 computers with Windows XP. Previously we had a Windows 2003 server with a domain name: "MYDOMAIN". When logging into Windows it logs into this domain.
    I would like to replace this Windows 2003 server with my new Mac Lion server so, I build up a test setup. I connected the Mac Lion server (iMac) with my Windows XP pc with an ethernet cable. Then, I setup a DHCP, DNS and Open directory in the Server Admin. Added users. I configured the IP adres of the server to a static one by setting the IPv4 to "using DHCP with manual address".
    Then I wanted to let my Windows XP server join the domain of the Lion Server, however I cannot let my Windows XP client connect to the domain of the Lion Server.
    I read in the advanced administration that you can set up Windows XP for domain login. Where do I find the name of this domain? It should be stated in the server admin, open directory, settings, general tab, but the only thing I find here is: Role: Open Directory Master.
    In Windows XP, when I explore in explorer the Microsoft-Windows Network I can see in "MYDOMAIN" the MacLion Server and my Windows XP pc. So sharing files is no problem.
    However, I really want to create a new domain with my Lion Server and let the Windows XP pc's login to the new domain.
    I hope anyone can help me.

    Thanks for the info.
    I read some stuff about this indeed, so I was thinking, because we have a small network, could it be possible to share files on the server via a workgroup?
    If we add the 3 Windows XP pc's to the same workgroup as the Lion Server, would there be a problem?
    Then at startup of Windows XP, should we login to the pc instead of the domain? And where would I find the Lion server in Windows XP?

  • Sync issues between Mac and Mobile Me

    Hi all,
    I'm having issues syncing between MobileMe and my Macbook Pro. It used to work perfectly, but I haven't been able to get it to sync since early August. All the changes I make between my iPhone and MobileMe work fine, but they just wont update with any changes I make on my Macbook. Equally, changes made on iPhone or MobileMe don't show on my laptop anymore.
    I've tried force syncs and resetting sync data (and transferring info from MobileMe) but none work. Is there anything else I can try?
    Thanks,

    You should ask in the MobileMe forums as this forum (iSync) has nothing to do with syncing Macs to MobileMe.

  • Curious... Syncing Issues Between iPhone and iTunes?

    Just curious... the past several months I have noted various concerns around "syncing" between iPhone and iTunes... yet don't recall any mention of whether it occurs between MAC OS or WIN hardware (desktops and or laptops). Furthermore, I am interested if anyone can comment whether these sync issues occurs mostly on TIGER or LEOPARD OS when accessing iTUNES. (Guess I should pay more attention to the noted OS field.
    I ask because I am considering an upgrade to LEOPARD by end of month and don't want to jeopardize my syncing to my iPhone if it is a LEOPARD related issue. Thank you

    I'm running Leopard and I've never experienced any sync issues.
    These discussions include mostly problems, which is what these discussions are for - a user to user support forum for technical support issues and questions.
    Which particular issue are you referring to?
    Before installing a major OS X upgrade such as Leopard over a previous OS X version, it is a good idea to create or update your existing backup of important data stored on your computer's hard drive - including your iTunes library, photos, contact info, calendar events, documents, etc. I've never experienced any problems installing a major OS X upgrade over a previous OS X version, but I always update my computer's backup immediately beforehand to be on the safe side.

  • White space issues between content and footer.

    I am having white space/page length issue between the end of my content and the footer.

  • A big issue between LR2 and PSE6?

    Hello;
    Im experiencing a strange situation between PSE6 and LR2. What about to tell you it happens to me twice, so I was able to recreate and document the issue. Before I go on I want to warn you that the only way to fix it was uninstalling and installing PSE6. The repair process did not work.
    Before I describe and specify the Test Script I want to describe my system:
    Vista Home Premium SP1, PSE6 and the 30 day trial of LR2.
    Processor: Dual 2.89 MHz, 4GB of RAM, 512MB ATI Graphic Card
    2 Internal HD; 250 GB and 650 GB
    1 External HD 500GB.
    Description: After I edited a RAW picture in PSE and saved as PSD I closed PSE6 and went to LR2 to continue editing, then after some editing in LR2 I decide to do more editing in PSE6 from LR2. I closed PSE6 and get back to LR2. I opened PSE6 from the Desktop and went to the Organizer-Edit-Preferences and BOOM; I get the message Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 (Organizer) has stopped working CLOSE THE PROGRAM.
    Test Script:
    WARNING: If you decide to go on and test this I want to warn you that both times I had to uninstall and install PSE6.
    1. Edit a RAW picture in PSE6 and saved as PSD, exit PSE6.
    2. Edit the same PSD picture in LR2, do anything you want.
    3. Edit the PSD picture in PSE6 directly from LR2: Develop->Photo->Edit in PSE6.
    4. Chose the Default Option: Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments
    5. When in PSE6 do anything or nothing to the picture and CLOSE exit from PSE6.
    6. Start PSE6 and from the Organizer go to EDIT->Preferences and chose General
    7. Now, if the problem its repeatable and its not only me you should get the message that the Organizer has Stopped working and you must have to close the program.
    Organizer has Stopped working and you must have to close the program.
    8. Since everytime that I tried to get into the Preferences PSE6 Crash I had to unistalled and installed again, I try to do the repair but in my case did not work.
    Note: I don't know if the same it's going to happen with JPG's or TIFF's, at least I don't want to test it.
    If somebody has any comments or knowledge about this please let me know. For now my Trial of LR2 has come to a stop.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Antonio;
    After many, many test I discovered that the problem, at least in my case it is caused by the new ACR 4.5. Please read the Thread that I post under Camera Raw. I include the link below.
    I also open two Bug Reports about this, but as usual Adobe (and other Software Companies) will never take responsability for this, until one day they release a new version with "enhancements".
