Problems with using Deskjet 3745 on 2-PC home network

I have an old PC running Windows XP SP3 and a new one running Windows 7, but only one printer. The network connecting the PCs is on an ADSL router with to its own external Iomega network drive with a USB port.
To make the printer usable on both PCs,
I originally connected it to the Iomega USB port. But the port was effectively a 1-way connection only, so I could not get a print-preview to see which form/profile the printer was using. So I junked that and...
reverted to connecting the printer to one PC permanently and sharing it on the network. But the two PCs required different drivers which would not talk to each other, and the set-up simply would not work.
Finally I went back to the straightforward method of plugging the printer into the USB port of whichever PC I needed to us it on. That worked fine for a while until the WIN 7
print-preview started showing blank images (but printing correctly).
print-spooling failed to cope with cancelled documents.
I have had Deskjet Support's help in trying to sort this out, which including reinstalling the drivers on both PCs - several times! But I am still left with solution 3 giving problems with Win 7.
Has anybody encountered a similar situation and found a satisfactory working solution?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Try the following: connect the printer to the XP machine and set the XP machine to share this on the network. On the Windows 7 machine go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the computer and printer), OK, then click on Windows Update and then select the HP (not Hewlett-Packard) Deskjet 3740 series (LiDiL).

Problem with HP DeskJet 845c in 10.4 Tiger

Recently I migrated an iBook G3 from Mac OS 9 to MacOS X (Tiger 10.4.10). And we also use a new MacBook.
But there's a big problem with the *HP DeskJet 845c* Printer:
- printing works with Word, but *doesn't with AppleWorks or Mail (2.1.1)*
- I have the latest Updates and looked for the latest HP DeskJet software, but this is the newest, version 3.3
- I spoke with HP support, but they said that this is a problem in OS X
- until now in MacOS 9 the printer worked fine
The problem is:
- from Mail only the header will be printed, but not the message itself
- from AppleWorks is ssems as if only the first "pixel-rows are printed from each line
Any help?

Hello, Same problem with HP Deskjet 895Cse. I had printer on my G4 tower running 10.3. My macbook pro was networked through the G4 to printer, all good. I just moved my printer and plugged in directly to macboook pro USB port................ Iregular printing. With normal size fonts, 12, just the top few pixels of each sentence gets printed. With larger fonts like 36 or 48, the print is pretty interesting, but not readable. Sometmes it just spits out pages with 1 sentence, top bit only, on each page. Appleworks, word & pdf's from preview, all print the same. HP alignment, HP test , HP clean all show normal. ?????????????????????

The warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
Warranty and support are ONLY valid in the country of origin. The only exception is the EU where the entire EU is treated as one country.
If the device will be used in India, buy it in India.
An unlocked iPhone will work on any supported GSM carrier world wide. The LTE portion of a US purchased, unlocked iPhone is unlikely to work outside North America as it does not support the appropriate bands used in other countries.

I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address). While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud. You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

Problem with use of COM+ Transaction and DB Transaction

Problem with use of COM+ Transaction and DB Transaction
We build a Web site that use sometime COM+ Transaction and sometime DB
Transaction. If we use a COM+ Transaction and a few seconds later we try to use
a Database Transaction (OracleConnection.BeginTransaction), we get the error
Connection is already part of a local or a distributed transaction
Of course the error does not produce everytime; it takes some try before we get
the problem. And of course, if i use pooling=false on the connection string,
the problem does not appear.
i run the Web page
and push the COM+ Transaction and DB Transaction one after the other for some
times and the problem should appear.
Environment: Windows server 2003, .Net Framework 1.1, ODP.Net 9.2.0.401,
Database Server 9.2.0.4

Is this happening at runtime or at buildtime? You'll need to provide more info on what you are actually doing that's causing the problem.

Problems with use cases in JDeveloper 11.1.1.1.0

Use cases made with JDeveloper 11.1.1.0.2 can not be used and edited in JDeveloper 11.1.1.1.0.
Same problems with Use Case Diagrams.
And it seems to be impossible to create new use cases in JDeveloper 11.1.1.1.0.
What are the differences between 11.1.1.0.2 and 11.1.1.1.0 if you look at use cases??

In JDeveloper 11.1.1.0.2 each use case has one file with the folllowing name: *.xhtml_usc.
In JDeveloper 11.1.1.1.0 each use case has two files with a names like *.xhtml_usc and *.uml_usc (after standard migration with JDeveloper). I can still edit the *.xhtml_usc files, but I have no idea what to do with the *.uml_usc files. I can only open a Property-editor, but the properties I see have no relation with the text I used in my original use cases . New use cases only have a *.uml_usc file and a Property-editor. In javadoc the new use case does not appear.
My question is: why do I have two different use case files in JDeveloper 11.1.1.0 and how can I use the Property editor??

AxWindowsMediaPlayer problem with using subtitle sami.file in winform

Hello every body
I have a problem with using sami caption in axWindowsMediaPlayer;
how can I use it?
I used
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.closedCaption.SAMIFileName="FileNameAddress";
and
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.ShowPropertyPages();//and select sami file
but in both ways the subtitle is not shown in my axWindowsMediaPlayer1 control;
please help me for solving this problem

Hi ,
As i know the Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange (SAMI) file must use an .smi or .sami file name extension.
set the smi-file direclty like following
AxWindowsMediaPlayer.closedCaption.SAMIFileName = "subtitles.smi";
Please also refer here
for more details.
Follow the steps below for your Windows Media Player to display captions and subtitles.

In addition, Could you please provide your smi or sami file and full code? It could be better to help us do some test on my side.

I am having problem with using the Basic brush definition

I am having problem with using the Basic brush definition. When I try to click on it will not allow me to use it and will automatically use the 5 pt. oval brush definition. The only way I can use the basic brush is after I have already drawn something and then I have to click on the stroke and then press basic. This is incredibly annoying and if anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. (I have Adobe CS6)

for whatever reason, the basic 'brush' you see in the brushes palette effectively means removing any brush from a path. to draw with the brush tool you need a brush defined. in your case the last one selected being the 5 pt oval one.

Basic is not a brush, only a starting point for you to make a brush. Load the real brush you want before beginning to draw.

In FF4.0.1 problem with using HTML creator in WebCT. WHY? Not a problem in FF4.0.0

In FF4.0.1 problem with using HTML creator in WebCT. WHY? Not a problem in FF4.0.0

Hi Shane,
I passed through all the described problems in the list, and after doing several tests the error that you described is always present if the "jpcsclite_en_US.properties" is not present in the same place of the "jpcsclite.properties". I really don't know the reason, I just copied and pasted the same file, renamed the copy and the error was gone... though both of them include the line where the .dll is found!
That's how it worked for me, but if anybody knows how it works without that dirty trick, it would be good.
Regards,
Leandro
PS: Just in case that somebody is using the version JCSDK3.0, I did not find the .dll in that version, but in the JCSDK2.2.2 *(:-S)*

I have a problem with using MacBook Pro as wifi router when connected to ethernet

I have a problem with using MacBook Pro as wifi router when connected to ethernet. The Airport icon changes to show a laptop inside, my iPad shows connected (I think) but Safari will not operate. I tried pinging my iPad, it seems to see the iPad, but no connection to Safari or to other apps such as Good on the iPad. I have read many posting and tried repeatedly via Sharing in Systems Preferences, but no luck. Suggestions to fix, or is this a Lion problem?

Usually this is a problem related to the domain name server address. If you open Network preferences, select your Ethernet port then click on the Advanced button then on the DNS tab. You will likely see an entry like 10.0.1.1 already listed. Click on the Add [-] button and enter 208.67.222.222 then click on the OK button and then on the Apply button. See if this helps.
if it does not help then repeat the above but with the Airport port.

After installing Snow Leopard problems with using any of my Helvetica fonts

I've never really have a problem with any of apple's products until now.
After installing Snow Leopard I've found problems with using any of my Helvetica fonts,
which is a BIG problem if you work in DTP or print. You CAN'T remove the system version of Helvetica, and replace it with your own anymore.
Also Flash CS4 seems to be a dead duck, as after about 5-6 seconds of loading the program it crashes with a "KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE".
<title edited by host>

Thanks Tom but the original post title was "Work in DTP, don't install snow leopard", but of course apple were unhappy with the title. I know the issue/problem has been discussed for months, the real problem is that it shouldn't be a problem which everyone has to find work arounds for.
After 4 days of playing about, I've finally got flash CS4 working and Quarkxpress was also a big problem for a few months. Printer description (PPD) files which snow leopard doesn't like, but worked in tiger & leopard.....means I can't use my two A3 inkjets for proofing anymore.
I'm just disappointed by snow leopard
