CS3 crashes at "Print Settings" dialog

I'm using an Epson 2200 with Leopard 5.1 and a G4 DMD. I can print in any application so long as I don't try to open "Print Settings." Crashes every time. I can't select paper types or print quality without Print Settings, so high quality printing is impossible. I've repaired permissions, repaired the disk, removed and re-installed the printer, even tried re-installing CS3, no luck. Here's the first part of the crash report:

Anybody have any ideas? FWIW, I get the same problem now in CS2. I have no idea what to try next.
Thanks!

Hi John, Thanks for the tip. I will try that next. Below is a crash log. I printed to the 2200 from Photoshop, then in the print dialog tried to go to "color management" to turn color management off (I am getting magenta prints due to double profiling).

Reverse proxy settings crashing ML Server

I have a few IP cameras I'm attempting to expose externally via reverse proxy. I've created a site on my Mini ML Server and password protected it under a subdomain. This allows me to drop my own custom UI on the camera controls so they work better with my iPhone etc. It's working great on my laptops local virtual host. However, the reverse proxy settings seem to kill apache on the ML server. If I remove the lines in blue below, it seems to work, but i get double authentication requests. Anyone have any experience with this? My Apache knowledge is minimal at best

Firefox suddenly stopped opening webpages, while other browser work properly. I checked Proxy settings and everything that is mentioned in the central help page, but still no solution found...

In addition, i tried to re-install Firefox many times, without a result. In the time these lines are written, I am using Google Chrome to surf the web.
Neither proxy settings, nor the true/false ipV6 values helped.
The '''"symptoms"''' are as following:
--> The programm itself starts correctly, at usual speed, with no crashes or error messages to pop-up.
--> No page is displayed, neither the home page, nor any other one. I only see a blank white page.
-->The name of the starting tab, as of any other new tab I try to open is "(Untitled)"
-->There is no probability of errors in the Internet Line, because I am using it right now, running Chrome.
-->The full scan results are totally clean, using Panda Internet Security 2011, activated and updated.
-->The Error Console shows the following messages:

These Error messages appear in the Error Console of the just now downloaded Firefox 4.0. In the previous version, 3.6.12, before removing it, I noticed two more error messages in the error console, like the two last as listed above: With the nema ERROR.
I am forced now to use Chrome, and I dislike that!
Some could suspect that Google has sabbotaged firefox to get its popularity by forcing users to change browsing programms by giving them a hidden worm..?? :P
Please, help me out anyone with good will and strong tech-knowledge.
Tasos!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Universal Proxy settings...ideas?

Our corporate network team uses Trend products for our company proxy/web filtering solution. My issues are with it are as follows and I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions:
1) The proxy requires authentication. For our Windows users this is not an issue b/c it's tied to their AD account. When they login to the domain the a script sets their proxy settings and their logged in credentials provide pass thru from there. On the Macs, not so simply. Because we are currently still using local accounts for our Mac users, they have to authenticate via dialog box that pops up, which of course they can then add to their KeyChain. No "big" problem here, but it leads to others...
2) OS X proxy settings in the Network prefs only work on Safari. They do not affect Firefox or Netscape, both of which we need for various other websites which don't work with Safari. Specifically our employee time sheet service (ADP) and our corporate help desk system.
Is there a way, perhaps by leveraging a proxy.pac file on a server or something, to set it up so that when we put all our settings in an image, it works for every user that hits the machine, no matter what browser they use?
Thanks in advance for any help.

"Use system proxy settings" Not working on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

When I change the network location or when I select "Use system proxy settings" on the connetion configuration dialog.
Firefox is not using the proxy defined on the loction set on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
I usualy change from work to home, at work I've a proxy and at home I don't, and it's a bit annoying to have to change the proxy twice a day. So I tryed this feature, but It's not working for me.
I've tryed also with Firefox 3.6 (I think) and didn't work either.

I run it from eclipse, and on debug mode i checked the value of
java.library.path, and it was ok.
Any way, how can i do what you suggested on mac?It's just a command line argument, but there's no reason to add it if your
java.library.path is ok. One of its componenents must be a directory where
your shared lib is stored, that's all. BTW, the Mac is unix based isn't it?
Shouldn't it be an .so file then? (just a wild guess)
kind regards,

Proxy Settings for WebService invocation

Hi,
I have a bean which is exposed as a WebService on WebAS on a machine A. Within this bean, I call another WebService, which is NOT running on WebAS but on Axis on another machine B.
For the call to the WebService I have NOT generated a proxy in Netweaver Developer Studio, but have created the Stub with Axis WSDL2Java tool. (When I tried to generate the proxies in Developer Studio it would say there was a problem during generation, without giving any details).
When I call the Axis WebService from a browser on machine A, everything works fine, provided that I've set the right proxy settings.
I can also use the generated Stubs to call the service. However, when I call it from within the beans running in WebAs, I get a timeout, obviously due to inadequate proxy settings in WebAS.
Now, I've searched through the administration guide and tried to do the configuration as described in
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7c/f257422d095542e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
But this showed no effect. I also restarted the server to ensure that the configuration is updated properly.
(As a test I also tried to change the WS Clients Socket timeout, but for some reason this timeout did not change when I had restarted the server and tried the Web Service again (from Web Service Navigator). So I don't even know if I am configuring the right settings..)
Does anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong or which other configuration I might have to set?
Thanks alot for any help..
Katrin.

Hello Katrin,
did you solve your problem mentioned above?
If yes, could you please describe me, what kind of settings you have made in the visual admin to test the webservice without connection time out?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards, Patrick.

JRE and Proxy Settings

Hello,
I've created a proxy.pac that's been deployed to our ouposts. It works fine except for one web application which is using java.
Now, I figured out that it's because I have to not only change the proxy-settings for IE and Firefox, but also for Java. Point is, it's user-based. So every user has to make these changes to make them become active.
My question is: Is there a way (probably by manipulating the net.properties) to make this change systemwide and not only limited to a single user?

The application is a browser based application. It's partially HTML/XML (right frame with content) and partially Javabased (left frame with navigation tree).
Now when I change the browsers' settings to use a pac-file as a proxy configuration file, the HTML/XML-based part is using the proxy setting that is set in the browsers' properties and connects by using the proxy. But the Java-side of the application seems to ignore these settings and tries to get a direct connection to the application. This ends in two different sessions where you have to login again in order to see the navigation-tree displayed. Since these two sessions are different from each other, they won't work together.
After correcting the proxy settings for the java runtime engine to also work with the configurationfile it works just fine.
As I said, we already found a solution for the problem itself. All we need to have now is a way to make the proxy-settings for java systemwide for we don't want to correct these settings for each and every user.

IOS 5/iPad 2 proxy settings not being remembered

I recently upgraded one of my iPad 2's to iOS 5, but I seem to be having an issue the Wi-Fi connection in work. The wireless network has a hidden SSID and it requires some Manual proxy settings being put into the wireless config.
When I input the relevant information it seems to hold fine for a few seconds but when I go into Safari it prompts for an https:// proxy username and password, if I input the correct details it just prompts again and no matter how many times I input the correct information it still prompts for it over and over again, to the point that you just have to switch the wireless off to stop the message from flashing up.
I have an iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.5 and the same setting work perfectly fine on this iPad 2 but will not work on iOS 5.
I have even tried a Linksys Wireless Access Point plugged into the network with no hidden SSID etc and I still get the same thing on the iOS 5 iPad 2 it continually prompts for the proxy details, but the iOS 4.3.5 iPad2 works fine.
Is this a known glitch or am I just being a total idiot : ( ?

There are no work-arounds, there are no fixes, and no... updating to iOS 5.0.1 will not help you. This is broken and Apple needs to fix it. No "consumerisation" will not win, and our Network admin will NOT remove proxy authentication from the network to make it work. That's what Apple want me to do, and it's not happening. Here's the deal:
1. There is a difference between a HTTP proxy and a HTTPS proxy, of course, and Apple ONLY let you supply a configuration (using "Manual") for a HTTP connection. Not HTTPS. That's the problem.
2. As such, any request to a secure site (which a LOT of apps use, including Apple's own in-built ones) will fail. As soon as the connection for HTTPS is required, you will get an authentication prompt. The iPhone/iPad CAN NOT use the credentials assigned to the HTTP Proxy for the HTTPS Proxy... they are different. On a Mac (running OSX), these are definately two separate items you need to configure in the network settings and store in the KeyChain. Aple either need to write the "Manual" Proxy setting as both a HTTP and HTTPS connection (using the same KeyChain entry), or allow a HTTPS Proxy to also be specified. I favour the first option for simplicity - though it is not "standard".
3. In iOS4, Apple also supplied a "Manual" setting with a "HTTP Proxy" setting. The big difference in that case is that requests to HTTPS sites, which would require a HTTPS Proxy connection (which was not supported), were simply IGNORED or attempted to get the data using ANONYMOUS access... which in almost all enterprises with proxy servers is flat-out denied. In iOS4 your app would have a spinning wheel forever or would crash when trying to hit a HTTPS site for updates etc. In iOS4 more apps simply didn't work, but failed in a nice and quiet way. This has changed to "allowed" in iOS5, as it now is HTTPS aware and attempts to respond to Proxy auth challenges... but Apple have not provided a way to store a username and password for that connection, so you get an authentication box.
After I installed iOS5, I had my iPad on my desk all day but didn't get a chance to use it. That night I had about forty (40) of those prompts to cancel before I could use the device. Very frustrating. Even if you enter the correct username and password the million times it asks for it, you STILL get prompts... all the time. There is no good answer. If you're lucky enough to fluke a configuration and set of apps that only require HTTP connections, then you'll have no issues. That, from my experience, would be exceedingly rare.
There are three (3) possible answers here;
a) Get the network administrator to turn off authenticated proxy for the entire site. Good luck with that one.
b) Implement a solution using DHCP/TMG/Websense (or whatever your network and security products may be), or use a product like NetBox Blue. If you don't have a solution like NetBox, you'll need to set DHCP reservations for each device by MAC Address, then configure that IP Range to be "unauthenticated" in terms of the proxy server/firewall, and then specify the range an a set of categories for that new typ of conenction (if using web filtering). That will let you do MAC address authentication and bypass the authenticated proxy. This is what we've had to do - and it *****.
c) Wait for Apple to fix the issue. Like I said earlier, they'll either need to repurpose the "HTTP Proxy" option as "HTTP(S) Proxy" and allow HTTPS challenge responses to proxies via the one KeyChain item... or supply a second "HTTPS Proxy" option we can specify under "Manual". It's a fault in their software. To be honest... I preferred it when HTTPS traffic was just blocked (as in iOS4).

Setting up my Line6 UX1 with Audtion 3.0 on Win7 - settings dialog takes ages to respond

I downloaded the trial of Adobe Audition 3.0 (I've been using 1.5 on WinXP for a few years now and it's always been fine to use!)
I am trying to set up my Line6 POD Studio UX1 with Audtion 3.0 on Windows 7 Pro (64 Bit - 32GB RAM Quad Core Intel i7 3770 Processor)
I am noticing that the Settings dialog takes ages to respond and update with the changes I make - when I eventually managed to get playback - the playback only came out on the left monitor.
I should mention that I am doing this on a previous Audition 1.5 session - Audition 3.0 saved the session as a new session so I think that should be fine.
What I'm looking for here is the correct settings I need to use in Audition 3.0 to use my UX1.
I don't want to pay for Audition 3.0 if it's not going to work for me!

You won't be able to pay for Audition 3 since it was discontinued several years ago. However you may be able to upgrade to AA3 for free as a previous Audition user.

How can I have proxy settings stay for multiple users on an educational network?

Hi,
I want to be able to have mutlple users log onto machines and haave proxy settings already set in preferences. I have tried by copying the Mozilla folder in to the All users location and does not help.
Each user logs onto a computer with a mandatory or Roaming account depending on account security. Settings for firefox are picked up from their Documents and settings folder when they log on (It is created when they log on for the first time)
Is there a way to pull across proxy settings for a new user? Ussually it would be a case of just sticking it in All Users.
Thanks

A possibility is to create a file user.js and place that file in the default template location (defaults\pref) in the Firefox program folder.
If you don't want users to change the proxy (connection) settings then you can also lock the prefs or set a different default value.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these calls in mozilla.cfg to set or lock a pref:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How to use proxy settings for one website

Hello,
I have to access the only one website using Proxy settings and for others I don't need proxy to access. Is there a way to configure the internet settings to allow one website using Proxy... Please advise. Thanks!

I am also getting this "error". The printer (8500 A910) connected to the web well enough that it went out and supposedly downloaded a new update, but then it was supposed to print a page showing the email address, but did not.
So I go in and try to set up the eprint, and it tells me it cannot connect to the sever and I'll need to enter a proxy address and port number. But my ISP's cable modems do NOT have any static IP address nor do they provide any sort of proxy service. Everything works just fine with "automatic discovery" (DHCP) for every computer in the house. No problems there.
So, since that's the case, of course I cannot look up some proxy address and port number in my web browser because they're all set up for "automatically detect settings".
What's baffling is that the printer connected to something at HP to download the "update", and it went through a process that appeared to be what I'd expect it to do if it was updating its firmware. But it won't connect to whatever it's supposed to connect to to have an email address assigned.
Does HP supply a proxy server? If so, what's its IP address or URL, and what port should a person set the printer to try to use?
UPDATE:
It appears that the HP site must have just been "down" for about six or seven hours while I was trying to get the printer to connect because it now connected and I got an email address asigned without needing to have any "proxy" stuff set up at all. It's a shame that the printer does not simply report "HP Site down - try again later" instead of reporting that you need to use a proxy when that's impossible.
"Now, on to the next problem which is that my emails to the assigned address are all bouncing with a "550 5.7.1 Command rejected" error!

You could try the Dell site, but I doublt if they will have a driver for Solaris, Linux maybe but not Solaris. Otherwise try the DriverGuide web site. http://www.driverguide.com/
You could also try installing OpenSolaris if you don't specifically need Solaris 10. Better chance that OpenSolaris will support the NIC.

afterwards. The malware was listed as Trojan.Generic.KD or something similar. It had enabled Proxy and set it to 127.0.0.1:58054. I ran Malwarebytes, Spybot, then ExecuteIt to clean the malware off and currently the scans from all 3 apps
come back clean. I also had to manually disable proxy via IE settings.
I have one specific app which for whatever reason will use Proxy settings if they are there over anything else and doesn't offer and configuration to disable it.
Even though proxy is disabled (and cleared) in IE, this app still doesn't work and I still seemingly get redirected to ads in Chrome sometimes. The log file of the app showed it was trying to connect through 127.0.0.1:58054. The thing is,
IE Settings still show Proxy disabled!
The Issue
I checked many things are read a few articles to try to fix this including different Windows 8.1 settings, local Group Policy, startup items, checking Run keys
in HKLM and HKCU for "out of place" entries, and more. Finally, I opened the registry and did s keyword search for ":58054" and found one key with it. I cleared out all of the data and set the EnableProxy string from "1"
to "0", rebooted, and tried again but the app still failed with the same log message. I went back into the registry and found out that the strings I changed had all been changed back! Below is the key / strings I'm talking about which
are located in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings. It's odd because I usually deal with HKLM and HKCU and don't think I've ever worked in ".DEFAULT" on any system ever before.
I know that a full OS re-install is suggested - and I actually do it every 3-4 months religiously - but - I currently don't have the time for the full day it
takes to perform due to how many things it hosts.
Any ideas on how I can get this to stop coming back after each restart until I can perform the re-install? Below are the system specs. Thanks!
System Specs
- Intel i7-3770k / 16gb RAM
- x3 partitions 256gb SSD for OS & Apps / 24tb Disk Pool for Storage / 500gb Hybrid drive for App installs
- Windows 8.1 Update 1 x64 (Fully Patched)
Thanks again!

Hi,
.default is the profile for the Local System account and is an alias for
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18, Consequently, settings in HKEY_USERS\.Default are used by programs and services that run as Local System.
In addition to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings, please also check HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings and HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings, make sure all proxy server disabled, then press F5 to refresh registry, check the application, if the issue disappears, the the registry entry is the culprit. Then please reboot the PC, if the issue appears again, the virus is not cleared in your
system. In this case, please try other virus clean program if possible, meanwhile, check if there're unknown software installed in your system.
