Problem with .01 difference

Hi Guys,
Good day everyone!
I had a problem with my process with this .01 difference. My process was i multiply the value of Debit or Credit with * 43.84, the result of my total Debit and total credit was my example below.
Ex: Total Debit = 3,550.56
Total Credit = 3,550.55
difference = .01
If you subtruct Total Debit - Total Credit the difference should be equal to zero (0) to make my process good meaning my computation was balance.
Can anyone help me how to solve this problem?
Thank you.

Hi Abdetu,
I already tried this syntax round(,) but still i encountered some differences of .01, .02 or .03.
Im doing a procedure regarding convertion of a particular currency based on the rate given.
Tha manual convertion below was the correct convertion. In my procedure, the -3,832,555.00 is -3,832,554.99 andi had this .01 difference.
I used the round function but still i had this oudput of -3,832,554.99.
Manual Convertion:
RATE: 44.09
FORMULA:
DEBIT * RATE
CREDIT * RATE
Given Data:
DEBIT CREDIT
390,528.11 11.43
250,000.00 727,442.40
CONVERTED:
DEBIT CREDIT
17,218,384.37     503.95     
11,022,500.00     32,072,935.42     
========== =========
28,240,884.37     32,073,439.37 =      -3,832,555.00

  • How to solve the problem with time difference?

    Hi,
    I work in India with time difference about 12 hours faster than American time.
    I put a validation in my application as follows:
    IF :P2_FINISH_DATE > SYSDATE THEN
    return false;
    else
    return true;
    end if;
    Today (13-Mar-09) at 9:30 am according to my system, I entered 13-Mar-09 as FINISH_DATE.
    But it returned false with an error message: "Finish date cannot be greater than system date."
    I changed my system time as 13-Mar-09, 9:30 pm. Then it accepted 13-Mar-09 as FINISH_DATE.
    How can I solve this issue.
    Would appreciate your help.
    Thanks,

    Hi Arie,
    Thanks for the code.
    Your code works perfect in SQL Commands.
    But I don't know how to use the code in my application.
    Would appreciate if you can help me know the followings:
    - How to define two application processes -- before header and after submit (before any processing) – with the proper alter session statement.
    - How to use the APEX VPD field to do the same.
    FYI, I use the following codes:
    - For file upload
    If (:p2_SUBMIT_FILE is not null) then
    insert into PM_DOCUMENT (id, name, blob_content, mime_type, PROJECT_NAME, SUBMIT_TIME, SUBMITTED_BY)
    select id, :p2_SUBMIT_FILE, blob_content, mime_type, :P2_NAME, SYSDATE , :P2_UPDATED_BY
    from apex_application_files
    where NAME = :p2_SUBMIT_FILE;
    Delete from apex_application_files where name = :p2_SUBMIT_FILE;
    end if;
    - For Data entry validation
    IF :P2_START_DATE > :P2_FINISH_DATE
    OR :P2_START_DATE > :P2_TARGET_DATE
    OR :P2_FINISH_DATE > SYSDATE THEN
    return false;
    else
    return true;
    end if;

  • Problem with time difference

    I should calculate the difference between two times.and store it in database..
    My code is:
    long ms = (from.getTime() - to.getTime());
    java.sql.Time nohrs = new java.sql.Time(ms);Suppose let from = 12:20:36
    to=12:20:26
    I should get 00:00:10 but what I am getting is 5:30:10
    I think its taking GMT time,how to avoid this

    Hope I am not too late in answering this !
    The problem is new java.sql.Time(ms) will calculate the TIME WITH CORRESPONDS TO milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT, so in your example it is
    new java.sql.Time(10000) ie January 1, 1970, 00:00:10 GMT and it will converted to your time zone. ie January 1, 1970, 05:30:10 .
    this can be adjusted / solved by subtracting the milliseconds correcponds to your time zone , using .getTimezoneOffset().
    here is the piece of code i used, use after proper checking if needed
    public class testTime { public static void main(String arguments[]) throws Exception {
    Date from = new Date(2005 , 7 , 19 , 12 ,20 , 36);
    Date to = new Date(2005 , 7 , 19 , 12 ,20 , 26);
    long ms = (from.getTime() - to.getTime());
    long msNew = (from.getTime() - to.getTime() + (new Date().getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000 ));
    java.sql.Time nohrs = new java.sql.Time( ms );
    java.sql.Time nohrsNew = new java.sql.Time( msNew );
    System.out.println(nohrs);
    System.out.println(nohrsNew);}}

  • Problem with Date difference in OBIEE

    Hi,
    OBIEe- 10.1.3.4
    My exp: Beginner in OBIEE
    I have a requirement to calculate a policy age with the date columns from a policy table these are.
    The columns involved are as below:
    1. policy_effective_date alias EFD
    2.policy_start_date alias STD
    3.policy_expiry_date alias EXD
    so my functionality is based as below
    Policy Age = (CASE WHEN EFD > sysdate THEN trunc( months_between( STD, sysdate ) /12 )
    ELSE trunc( months_between(EXD, STD) /12 ) END)
    I have implemented the same in OBIEE as
    Policay Age= CASE WHEN CAST (EFD AS TIMESTAMP ) >
    CURRENT_DATE THEN TIMESTAMPDIFF( SQL_TSI_YEAR , CAST (STD AS TIMESTAMP ), CURRENT_DATE ) ELSE TIMESTAMPDIFF( SQL_TSI_YEAR , CAST (STD AS TIMESTAMP ),
    CAST (EXD AS TIMESTAMP )) END
    PROBLEM!!!!: I am having the following data in the database
    EFD=06-OCT-05
    STD=06-OCT-99
    EXD=06-OCT-06
    Ideally the answer should be 7 years that is 2006-1999= 7 years but instead it gives "-93 years " thats because it does a 06-99 =-93 years.
    Please can anyone suggest where and what Date conversion can I use in the OBIEE formula??

    Try with extract year from (date column ) , it may solve your problem...

  • Having problems with date difference

    Hello People...
    Im having a problem.
    I have this cursor :
    select request_id,
    batch_id,
    message_id,
    date
    from tb_message_pi_new
    where datediff(minute, date, getdate()) > 5 --*****this line
    and status = 1
    in the where clause, there is a function datediff (this a sybase's function, that returns the minute subtracting the field Date - sysdate) and returns the minutes....
    How can i do this cursor on Oracle???
    thank you!!!

    Assuming that getdate() is a function that you've written that returns a date, you can do it like this
    select request_id,
    batch_id,
    message_id,
    date
    from tb_message_pi_new
    where (sysdate/1640) - (getdate()/1640) > 5
    and status = 1
    This works because there are 1640 minutes in a day; for hours the test would be where (sysdate/24) - (getdate()/24) > 5

  • Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in USA? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards? Thanks

    Hi, I'm from the UK and in the USA for a week. I'm thinking of purchasing an Air. Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in the US? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards?
    Cheers
    G

    There are subtle differences on a British layout, mainly having to do with the top line (shift numbers), to permit the use of European monetary symbols. There are a few other keys different (note the enter key).
    Here are the basic layouts. Obviously the MBA won't have an eject key, as the power key resides in that location.

  • What is the Difference with FMLE 3.1 and 3.2? having problems with my stream

    What is the difference with FMLE 3.1 and 3.2?
    I am having major problems with my live stream, i am currently using FMLE 3.1 and using a Imac computer.
    The stream seems to be delayed by 20mins and keeps on crashing
    I have a 2MB upload speed and frame rate 25.00 and bit rate 800 kbps fromat VP6
    Can anyone help me with getting the settings right and what is the best computer to use to allow FMLE not to crash and stream to run smooth?
    Please Help
    Thank you

    Hello!
    I would be interested in helping you with your question. You are going to need to provide a little more information about your current configuration in order for me to better understand your issue. Until then, I'll do my best to answer your quesitons.
    There are subtle changes from 3.1 to 3.2. Both are stable releases. With your setup, you should be using 3.2.
    Issues with FMLE typically deal with your capture card. The issues you are having sound like a streaming server issue. Stream delayed 20min? This isn't typical behavior. What streaming media server are you usign? FMS or Wowza? Define 'crashing'. Anything in the output log in FMLE or is your server 'crashing'.
    Thank you,

  • Problem with reusing saved library file due to iTunes version differences

    I was running iTunes on my Windows PC with Vista 64-Bit since March 17, 2009. Everything was fine until some operating system file got corrupted two days back, and Microsoft had to wipe out my hard drive and reinstall the Operating System to the factory settings.
    I did back up everything, including the iTunes Music files and the Library files to my external hard drive. But, I forgot to note the exact version of my Itunes, except I do remmebr that I had refused all attempts by iTunes over last month or so to install Ver. 8.2 becasue of some bad things I had read in this forum about some of the problems with 8.2. I had a record of the last version I had installed and it was 8.1.0.52.
    So, after the operatng system reinstaled, I downloaded iTunes 8.1.1 and installed it. I then copied the iTunes Music files and the libary file to the exatly same folder structure as before.
    I hold down the SHIFT key and start up iTunes. And, when I point to the Library file, iTunes says that the libray file can not be accessed because it was made by a newer version of iTunes! I just don't understand how that can be!
    In any case, I can use your advice as to what do I do next to be able to use my saved library and start using my iTunes and my iPod!
    Thank you.

    I downloaded and installed iTunes ver. 8.2.0.23 x64, and now, am very happy to say, that iTunes was able to read my library, and it did recognize my iPod just fine. That's the very good news.
    Now, the slight bad news. May be 100 or so, out of some 9000 tracks of music, appear with a '!' to the left of the track listing. It si becasue it does not find it? Why?
    Now, I do have to go back to my Album files and identify each of these. Can some one please help me out as to why this problem occured? I certainly did not move any songs to any place and the folder structure is identical to what they were before!
    Thank you.

    After upgrading to 3.6.9 firfox will not bookmark some pages, once would not load, has twice atomatically re-installed 3.6.2. Upgraded again to 3.6.10 had have same problem with bookmarking

    The answer is in the diagnostic! Go to the Toshiba site (I've been so nice and found the link for you!)

    Try updating your drives firmware. Click 'Firware Updates' on the right hand side of this page, then follow the instructions and download the update, then install. See if that helps. Its worth updating the firmware anyway :P

  • Differents problems with Captivate

    Hi to everyone,
    Nowadays i'm having some problems with the Adobe Captivate 6 and i will apreciate your help. My time is over to finsih a proyect and i don'y know what to do. The problems are about these questions,
    Creating a Quiz, i need to put two questions on the same slide but i don't know how. Also these questions must be response every time, and in my project i am able to response only once. After the correct response, the question appears blocked and we can't try to do it again. Maybe the problem can be the type of quiz, because really it isn't a score quiz. But if i use a "pre-test" quiz, i don't find the option to include the feedback response in correct or wrong answer.
    About the interactive buttons, i wold like to find a only button that shows and ocult a text box. I mean that this button must show the text box with one click, and after reading must close it with another click. I'm sure that adobe captivate can do it, but i don't find the solution.
    When i organize the table of contents, that appears on the left side of the screen, with the diferent levels of titles, the software force me to create a "folder" to put into the epigraphs. For example, i create a folder with the name "title 1", inside of this folder i put the slides "1.1 Title", "1.2 Title"...etc. After that, when i want to see the slide "title 1" with a click on the button that contains the table of contents, it doesn't work like the others who are not a folder. I need that it works like a dropdown menu at the same time that it allows me to see the contests of that title in a quick way, clicking on it.
    If someone can helps me with that questions i'll be very grateful. This is my first work with captivate and it has become in a nightmare.
    Sorry for my english, it isn't as well as i would like.
    Thanks to spend your time reading that.
    Best wishes.

    Hi,
    Please find my answers next to your question --
    Creating a Quiz, i need to put two questions on the same slide but i don't know how. Also these questions must be response every time, and in my project i am able to response only once. After the correct response, the question appears blocked and we can't try to do it again. Maybe the problem can be the type of quiz, because really it isn't a score quiz. But if i use a "pre-test" quiz, i don't find the option to include the feedback response in correct or wrong answer.  You would not be able to isnert two question on one question slide. Can you elaborate your requirement, why you would like to haev such a set up? You can increase the number of attempts for a single question, but once you answer that correct it would do the action set for "success".
    About the interactive buttons, i wold like to find a only button that shows and ocult a text box. I mean that this button must show the text box with one click, and after reading must close it with another click. I'm sure that adobe captivate can do it, but i don't find the solution. By text box, you want to display a static text caption or a Text Entry box? If you just want to show and hide a text caption, why don't you try roll over caption, which would easy your task and user can see the caption once they bring their mouse to roll over region.
    When i organize the table of contents, that appears on the left side of the screen, with the diferent levels of titles, the software force me to create a "folder" to put into the epigraphs. For example, i create a folder with the name "title 1", inside of this folder i put the slides "1.1 Title", "1.2 Title"...etc. After that, when i want to see the slide "title 1" with a click on the button that contains the table of contents, it doesn't work like the others who are not a folder. I need that it works like a dropdown menu at the same time that it allows me to see the contests of that title in a quick way, clicking on it. Folders are used to structure your content, so if you want to display you slide 1.1 Title, you can rename this slide as Title 1 and uncheck all slides under this folder, this way your purpose of going to First Slide udner the Topic 1 would be solved.
    Thanks,

  • Upgraded to iOS 6 and now I can't open anything in the kindle app? I have to say that I have had my ipad3 for 6 months and intensely dislike the problems with using it. Also is there any way of opening more than one screen as it is hopeless otherwise?

    I Have had my iPad for 6 months as I cannot access my work emails using windows. I have to say that it is the most unhelpful device I have ever used and although it looks like there isn't an answer for some of the questions I have asked below, I thought I would try!
    1) I have upgraded to ios6 and the kindle app will open but crashes and disappears when I try to access a book?
    2) is there any way I can open more than one page at a time, as opening one at a time is hopeless?
    3) Is there any way you can replicate the right click function on word? As pasting and copying on the iPad is irritating to say the least!
    4) why can't my Samsung 11 phone connect to my iPad via Bluetooth? A they can't seem to 'see' each other? I may have turned a setting off when I was recently abroad and didn't want huge roaming charges.
    5) Why do the submit buttons on some websites not work and how can I get them to? I never have a problem with windows, but it is often a problem with the iPad.
    6) I have several websites which I have built and usually upgrade on the windows desktop, usually through Internet explorer, but I can't access the sites properly on the iPad (I can see them but can't alter them) and when sending emails through the websites they won't show the page and I can't navigate the page (the size of the email page is bigger than the iPad screen, but I can't either shrink the page to size or move the page around as you normally would on the pad, any ideas?
    7) finally, when roaming abroad recently, I had no problems using the wifi, but when trying to use the cellular data (using the roaming function) I could not get it to work? The ipad seemed to be connected to the network with no problems, but wouldn't actually update the emails? I tried turning it on and off, but that didn't make a difference. My kindle and mobile phone (both also on 3G ) worked great, it was just (as usual) the ipad playing up.
    8) when wanting to alter part of a sentence, I can't always get the cursor in the right place? Sometimes it is simple the wrong line, but often it will only go at the end or start of a word and not where I want it. Is there any way of making it more exact? Again I never have a problem with moving the cursor on windows, either by mouse or on the touch screen function on windows 7. Any ideas? As after pressing the screen multiple times I just want to throw it out of the window!
    IT might just be that I don't have the correct settings (I am a technophobe) but I absolutely hate the iPad and only have it for work emails, it is so annoying that I can get my mobile phone and kindle3g to work fine, but always have problems with the iPad. I am sure it could be good (and for reading emails on the go in the uk it is great, as I like the key board) but it just seems to make everything else difficult.
    i Hope you can help and sorry for asking questions others have, but I am just hoping that something new might have been developed!
    thanks,

    1) I have upgraded to ios6 and the kindle app will open but crashes and disappears when I try to access a book?
    Try rebooting your iPad, that should fix he issue. I that doesn't work, delete the app and re-download it.  The Kindle books should all be in he Kindle cloud services and you can get them again. I have an iPad2 w/ Kindle app and it works just fine - no issues.
    2) is there any way I can open more than one page at a time, as opening one at a time is hopeless?
    Page as in a kindle book way? turn iPad to landscape position from portrait position. If, however, you mean open more than one application at a time, then no. And not hopeless, as it takes a bit of time to get used to, going from a desktop/laptop format to tablet format.
    3) Is there any way you can replicate the right click function on word? As pasting and copying on the iPad is irritating to say the least!
    It's actually fairly easy. Press down on the word, then you can expand by drawing your finger to cover word/sentence/paragraph/page, hit select or select all then it gives you the option to cut, copy, paste, define. If you want to use a word processing app on the iPad, Pages is a good application.
    4) why can't my Samsung 11 phone connect to my iPad via Bluetooth? A they can't seem to 'see' each other? I may have turned a setting off when I was recently abroad and didn't want huge roaming charges.
    It's the connection on your phone. Samsung Galaxy SII? Android software?  What you have to do is go to the phone's settings and connect via wireless, not Bluetooth. Go to System Settings (on phone) and under Wireless and Networks click 'more' and go to the Tethering and Portable Hotspot option. Set up your mobile wifi hotspot,  name it though it will probably come up with 'AndroidAP', choose a WPA2 security level and put in a password. Go back to previous screen and turn on 'Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot' box. Then on your iPad in the Settings - Wi-Fi section, it should then recognize your phone for tethering. If it's a Windows Phone 7,  I don't know the layout of that software, but presumeably similar.
    5) Why do the submit buttons on some websites not work and how can I get them to? I never have a problem with windows, but it is often a problem with the iPad.
    Sometimes the issue is with the website design, not all websites are optimized for mobile devices - not just iPad but also Android devices. It happens. They're getting there, but occasionally the page might need a refresh.
    6) I have several websites which I have built and usually upgrade on the windows desktop, usually through Internet explorer, but I can't access the sites properly on the iPad (I can see them but can't alter them) and when sending emails through the websites they won't show the page and I can't navigate the page (the size of the email page is bigger than the iPad screen, but I can't either shrink the page to size or move the page around as you normally would on the pad, any ideas?
    It depends on what you use to build the websites on the computer. Recommend a free program on the computer called CoffeeCup Free HTML Editor. I don't recommend using IE period; Firefox or Chrome are my choices on Windows machines. I have two websites that I manage, both using this program. I'm assuming that when you mean you can't access the sites on the iPad you mean to update them? Ostensible there are apps to let you do this. What format are the sites? Without seeing what exactly you mean and what you want to do, it's hard to explain.
    As for seeing full page while emailing within a site, turn iPad to portrait mode, and try to finger-pinch touch the screen to see if that will bring the fuller page  into view. Other option is opening a second tab with same website and just go between tabs to reference material.
    7) finally, when roaming abroad recently, I had no problems using the wifi, but when trying to use the cellular data (using the roaming function) I could not get it to work? The ipad seemed to be connected to the network with no problems, but wouldn't actually update the emails? I tried turning it on and off, but that didn't make a difference. My kindle and mobile phone (both also on 3G ) worked great, it was just (as usual) the ipad playing up.
    If you were outside the US or Canada, my guess is the problem lies within the SIM card in your iPad. If you were outside North America, there are different band levels - I'm guessing you have a SIM thats locked to a particular provider. Band level frequencies differ per country/continent, so a SIM card that will work in Canada/US will not likely work in UK/Europe/Asia/Australia, etc. you will be able to get your emails again when back on a wifi network. Mobile phone may have a different type SIM card (GSM/HSPA) from your iPad SIM. Also, check your email settings.
    8) when wanting to alter part of a sentence, I can't always get the cursor in the right place? Sometimes it is simple the wrong line, but often it will only go at the end or start of a word and not where I want it. Is there any way of making it more exact? Again I never have a problem with moving the cursor on windows, either by mouse or on the touch screen function on windows 7. Any ideas? As after pressing the screen multiple times I just want to throw it out of the window!
    Moving the cursor on a sentence is a matter of putting your finger on the screen where you want it. It's exceptionally easy to do. I'm using the Notes app to write this whole segment and I just need to put my finger where I want to change things and presto it's ready for me to change where I want it.
    Here's a solution: sell your iPad (after you wipe your data off it) to someone who will appreciate it, and put your money towards the Windows Surface Tablet out later this year/early next year, where you can (reportedly) connect a mouse to it. It will have some of the Windows 7/8 functionality that you're more familiar with, or get a netbook.

  • Problem with AppleID/Authorizing music/prompting me for an old ID no longer in use

    I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with a 3.06ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8gb of 1067 Mhz Ram, 320gb 7200 rpm HD running 10.8.2, and an iPhone 4S running 5.1.1.
    My issues began last year when I upgraded to the 4S. This was the beginning of iCloud, and the beginning of my nightmare. My phone constantly asked me for AppleID's that didn't belong to me and when I hit cancel, they just kept popping up. When I finally got it to my own AppleID, iCloud never fully worked and ended up screwing up all my contacts and deleting many of them until I finally turned off iCloud in favor of syncing with my computer locally. At the time I was running 10.6.8 on my mac, so I assumed it had something to do with the difference in IOS 5 (which was new) and the pre-Lion software on the computer. I waited to upgrade my mac until Mountain Lion came out recently. I did a clean install, and also did a clean install of 5.1.1 on my iphone to eliminate any issues with compatability (pre ios6). However, the problems continued. My contacts continued to have problems until I had to delete them all off my mac and just use icloud. My emails didn't sync (and still won't). My notes don't always sync. Contacts get deleted and music will no longer sync certain songs.
    After dealing with this problem for quite some time, I've exausted all sources of help except the forum. I went to the Apple store, not expecting any help and they didn't suprise me there—the geniuses have been dumbed down since the 00's and the floor people only know new products because they're all hipster fanboys. I called AppleCare. No help there either because 'AppleID's are handled separately' and there's no number you can contact them on. So I emailed iTunes. They came back with the same crap everyone else told me: Deauthorize, then reauthroize the computer. Do they really think that isn't the first thing I tried? I also checked the forum here but couldn't find a similar issue. So, like most issues I have with Apple products today, I resorted to my own knowledge and ability to try and figure it out. I tried this method: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3927039?start=15&tstart=0, but when I deleted the song like it said, I was not able to redownload it. iTunes claimed I never purchased it even though my ID is listed on the song when I hit 'command I' on the song or try to play it.
    Basically, iTunes thinks I have multiple ID's. When I was in 4th grade, I made the ID 'raiscool14...', then changed it later to 'reecardoesbueno...', and now to 'r.arnett91...'. I never had problems authorizing my music in the past though, because to my knowledge, each time I changed my ID it overwrote the old one. Apparantly not, because now songs I originally purchased with those older names are asking me for my apple ID and won't let me play them with my current one even though I changed it on the Apple Site. This is what I believe is the heart of the issue causing me the headache with iCloud. When I hit certain songs (about 300/3000), they won't play because they say they were purchase with "reecardoesbueno" or "raiscool14", even though, they should be working under my current ID. And most of the songs do work! So I believe the issue is with Apple, and maybe even with certain special iTunes songs. I noticed many of the "free iTunes song of the week" won't play. I also noted that when you download such songs and try to "complete the album" on the iTunes store, it doesn't recognize that song as being purchased which would indicate to me that it's entered differently in their system, which makes me think that this may also play a factor in my issues.
    Also, another issue I had last year (which I don't know if it is related because I can't call iTunes), is that my iTunes account would randomly lock itself out, and then it would force me to change my password. This happened at least 6 times in a 3 month period last year while I was at school. No idea why. I emailed Apple and called AppleCare but they gave me no answer.
    Anyways, if anyone can help me with this, please do. I've been an Apple customer since they had iBook's—it's all I've ever known and generally I've been very happy with the quality and service, but I can tell you the way this company has been treating customers for the last 5-10 years is atrocious. The service is, and continues to decline. I remember a time when you didn't even need a genius bar appointment, and the floor people would often try to help you on the spot! Now they're all tied up in beurocratic bulls**t... so annoying when you know that they can do so much better. This company used to be sustained by the customers and it's frustrating to see them turn their backs on the people that were so fervent to keep them going in the past now that they've made a fortune off of us.

  • 10.6.8 Printing problem with HP Photosmart premium C310 printer

    I hvae a Photosmart Premium C310 printer which is connected wirelessly to my network. I also have a Mac Pro which is connected to the same network by ethernet cable. Up until I updated to OS10.6.8 everything worked fine. After that I found that when I restated the printer I could see it for a short time under the printer list but then it seems to "time out" and I can no longer print to it within a couple of minutes from my Mac Pro. When I restart the printer I can also see its embedded web page again for a few minutes but then it becomes not visble.
    I also own a Macbook pro and two iphones and an ipod touch and all these wireless devices have no problem with seeing the printer and printing to it at any time. The Macbook Pro is also updated to 10.6.8 and works fine with this printer.
    It would seem that the issue is not with wireless devices but with a wired device printing to this wireless printer even though it is on the same network and on the same subnet mask.  All that has changed between working fine last week and not being recognised this week is an update to OS10.6.8
    I have restarted the Mac Pro, reinstalled the latest HP software and reset the printers wireless setup but this makes no difference.
    Is this a similar issue to what others have been reporting about a bug with printing under 10.6.8 or possibly something else. Any help here would be appreciated as I have no way of printing from my Mac Pro right now.

    Pengtao, I have plugged my Macbook Pro into the network (with Airport off) and I can no longer reach the Photosmart printer. Remove the cable and go wireless and the Macbook Pro can reach the printer again. I have installed the photosmart printer software under Windows 7 using Parallels on my Mac Pro and have no problems finding the Photosmart printer from it.
    To make matters worse I have bought a new Laserjet M1536 today and install it on my network. Again I get the same issues. I can print to it from any wireless device on the network but cannot reach it on any wired device on the network.Switch the printer off and on and I can see it and print to it for about a minute then it becomes "offline" to my Mac Pro
    Given that it works fine under Windows 7 from a Mac Pro I have to conclude that the issue must be OSX 10.6.8 and nothing else as everything worked fine before the upgrade. I have turned all device off and on , checked all cable connections and also uninstalled and reinstalled all printer drivers on the Mac Pro and cannot get it working. Any advice you may have that may solve the problem beyond it being an OSX issue will be greatly welcomed.
