Select not working with Timestamp

Hi all
I am badly stuck with a problem related to Date-Time.I have easily inserted a record in oracle DB with date time,so I used Timestamp.Problem comes if I retrieve the record with Timestamp again.I don't know where I am wrong.FYI I used preparedStatement.setTimestamp().
On other hand,just for testing, if I add the record with date only then I am able to get the record back using preparedStatement.setDate().But I want the solution with time.
Is there anyone to raise hand?
For more,the data type is Date in Oracle.I checked the long value of time before inserting & retrieving record is same
Thanks in advance

In your example, what type of object is myDate?
BTW: I almost always use TO_DATE with my PreparedStatements, but your right you don't and shouldn't have to. Looks like this:
SELECT * FROM MYTABLE WHERE COLDATE = TO_DATE(?,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
Then I would use a
setString(1,'2003-11-01 23:59:59')
This method is certainly not portable but it has always worked for me. However, it is probably more appropriate to use setTimeStamp.

Auto select not working with tethered shooting

Hi,
I'm shooting images in a studio tethered, and up until yesterday it was working like a dream. I take a picture and it shows up on my mac... but now it's stopped working. The images capture ok, but the viewer doesnt show the most current picture.
I've checked that 'auto select' is ticked/checked on the HUD... and havent changed anything on my set up... so I'm hoping someone has an idea what it might be.
I'm working with the latest version of Aperture 3 on Lion with a Canon 5D
Any help greatly welcomed
Jack

When I thether It will work fine till the end of the day and I then I have to reboot. Once I reboot the images are captured and advance properly. So I suggest rebooting the machine. If it doesnt work normally at the start Id do the trouble shooting steps in

Select not working with Case unless adding field to group by clause

Hi, I have a simple query that I am trying to run. The first version runs, but I am trying to get the second version to run, because I do not want to have to include PAYRCORD in the Group By. Since I do not want it grouped by PAYRCORD.
Is there a way to write the second version to work?
---- First Version ---
SELECT     TOP (100) PERCENT YEAR1, EMPLOYID, PAYRCORD,
CASE WHEN (dbo.tw80507.PAYRCORD LIKE '%OT%' AND NOT (dbo.tw80507.PAYRCORD LIKE 'OTHER'))
                      THEN SUM(DISTINCT dbo.tw80507.TwOriginalTaxableWages) ELSE NULL END AS OT,
CASE WHEN dbo.tw80507.PAYRCORD NOT LIKE '%OT%'
                      THEN SUM(DISTINCT dbo.tw80507.TwOriginalTaxableWages) ELSE NULL END AS REG
FROM         dbo.TW80507
GROUP BY YEAR1, EMPLOYID, PYRLRTYP, PAYRCORD
HAVING      (YEAR1 > 2013) AND (PYRLRTYP = 3)
ORDER BY YEAR1
--- Second Version ---
SELECT     TOP (100) PERCENT YEAR1, EMPLOYID,
CASE WHEN (dbo.tw80507.PAYRCORD LIKE '%OT%' AND NOT (dbo.tw80507.PAYRCORD LIKE 'OTHER'))
                      THEN SUM(DISTINCT dbo.tw80507.TwOriginalTaxableWages) ELSE NULL END AS OT,
CASE WHEN dbo.tw80507.PAYRCORD NOT LIKE '%OT%'
                      THEN SUM(DISTINCT dbo.tw80507.TwOriginalTaxableWages) ELSE NULL END AS REG
FROM         dbo.TW80507
GROUP BY YEAR1, EMPLOYID, PYRLRTYP
HAVING      (YEAR1 > 2013) AND (PYRLRTYP = 3)
ORDER BY YEAR1

Put the CASE inside the SUM.
I also cleaned up your query by removing an excess of prefixes, making the code difficult to read, and I replaced HAVING with WHERE. (You use HAVING WHEN you need to filter on an aggregate value, for instance HAVING COUNT(*) > 2.) Finally, I removed the
DISTINCT from the SUM, because that looked, well, funny.
SELECT  YEAR1, EMPLOYID,
   SUM(CASE WHEN PAYRCORD LIKE '%OT%' AND NOT (PAYRCORD LIKE 'OTHER')
THEN TwOriginalTaxableWages)
ELSE 0
   END) AS OT,
SUM(CASE WHEN PAYRCORD NOT LIKE '%OT%'
                 THEN TwOriginalTaxableWages
   ELSE 0
END AS) REG
FROM    dbo.TW80507
WHERE   YEAR1 > 2013
   AND PYRLRTYP = 3
GROUP BY YEAR1, EMPLOYID
ORDER BY YEAR1

Smart scan not working with Insert Select statements

We have observed that smart scan is not working with insert select statements but works when select statements are execute alone.
Can you please help us to explain this behavior?

There is a specific exadata forum - you would do better to post the question there: Exadata
I can't give you a definitive answer, but it's possible that this is simply a known limitation similar to the way that "Create table as select" won't run the select statement the same way as the basic select if it involves a distributed query.

My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi

Following a question solved on March 24 by LaPastenague, but gone bad again.
Apple AirPort Time Capsule
I felt the need for a physical backup of my data, as I would not completely trust the different clouds. I use, and have used Dropbox for 4-5 years and are very satisfied with that, but I am still not sure if or when a political lunatic will shut off the internet.
I purchased the Apple AP Time Capsule 2T, because all my other stuff are Apple, and that it's wireless. My old backup is Maxtor 300 GB.
Since we stay 2-3 weeks on two locations, one in Norway and one in Sweden (two different countries) we must use Mobile Broadband 4G, cables or fibre connections are useless for us, and we don't have it up to the houses. I have one mini router for each country, we bring with us iPhones, iPads, iMac, Apple TV, APExpress. When we pass the boarder I change the mini router, and the system continues working perfect on the WiFi, except the APExpress that needs to be reconfigured, but then it works.
The APTC was difficult to make working as it would not accept to be in an existing network, but with good help from the Apple Community, LaPastenague, with forcing the TC connect to the APE with Ethernet cable in bridge mode, ref "My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi" from March 24, the problem was solved and all gadgets worked together in a perfect harmony, until we changed location.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
I have a slight feeling that the two WiFi bands are making the trouble as during the configuration of the TC sometime the last figure 6 and 7 pops up, and that has something two do with the two different 2,4 and 5 GHZ bands
So, I am curious if you have any idea ?
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?

I can deal with the last question first and easily.
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?
Open the airport utility .. go to the disk tab and select erase.
When you select erase you will get mulitiple options.
Quick removes the file table but does not delete the files,, it takes 2min or less.
A Zero out data is the secure way,, by writing 0 ie low level drive format.
It can take several hours..
7 pass will take a week.. not recommended..
35 pass erase is ridiculous.. it would take a month.. put an ax through the TC. It is quick and better.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
The fact that it did work and has now failed might point to faulty unit.
The only way to tell is reset it properly to factory and start over.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Generally having multiple wireless AP should not cause problems.. but it is better to set channels manually.. so it doesn't go beserk rotating channels.
Remember to keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Sadly though the Apple routers have no logging now and no SNMP and almost nothing to help diagnose a problem, so if it continues .. take it back to apple.. they have given you no other method of fixing it.

You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Layout adjustment not working with tables

Hi all
Why will layout adjustment not work with tables?
I am trying to re-format from A4 landscape to A4 portrait.
The text box containing the table will resize but not the table.
Any clues why this might be, I don't want to manually resize every table in the document.
Many thanks,
Rob

Thanks Jongware,
Having resized the table and got the little red ovals, I tried various things like changing the font size etc but the best workaround I found was to select the table and change the cell inset value to 0, this got rid of all red ovals and I didn't need to change the font size.
Cheers,
Rob

Modifer keys do not work with mouse in Illustrator

Below is a copy of a bug report I just submitted to Adobe. I don't suppose any users have run across this and found a solution or workaround?
I found someone else with this problem in an archived topic thread, but the only response that poor fellow got was an accusation of not following instructions (His problem wasn't user error, BTW).
Thanks
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Modifer keys do not work with mouse: For example, free transform or rotate behaviors that require "Click-Ctrl" .
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. select object
2. select free transform tool
3. left click (without releasing) a corner of the bounding box.
4. start dragging
5. press ctrl
Results:
object behaves as though the ctrl key was not pressed. i.e. the cursor does not change shape and the object scales rather than distorts.
Expected results: The cursor should change shape as the ctrl key is pressed and the object should distort rather than scale.
Additional information: This behavior is intermittent. Occasionally Illustrator recognizes the "Click-Ctrl" combination and behaves exactly as the help file predicts it will. The cursor changes shape and the object distorts rather than scales. I can offer no rhyme or reason for when Illustrator will behave as advertised and when it will ignore the modifier keys.
The example above involves the free transform tool, but the problem occurs just as often with other tool behaviors that require a modifier key + mouse combination.
Primarily using Wacom Intuos3 tablet. (with latest drivers), but have also tried combinations with microsoft mouse or both mice installed.
Also, immediately after an occurrence Illustrator bug, left AI open, went to a different app that uses mouse+modifier (Ctrl+Click). That different app recognizes Ctrl+Click with no problems whatsoever.

Thanks Guys,
Good to know it's working for you. I guess that's the nature of intermittent bugs. Of course, Adobe's bug report form has a field for version, which I, of course, filled in. Sorry I didn't add it to this post. I'm using the latest version CS3 v13.0.2.
Stephen,
Sorry I was not more clear when I said, "For example, ...". I was talking about the modifier keys not working with several different tools. The Free Transform tool advertises functionality that is supposed to work with a "Click (down, but don't release)then hold down Ctrl" combination. The Rotate tool advertises a behavior that is supposed to work with an "Alt-Click" combination. These are just 2 examples of the modifier keys not working. I focused primarily on one example in the bug report(ctrl after and in addition to click in the free transform tool, not alt-click in the rotate tool).
Here is what I expect(quoted from Adobe's CS3 help file)
(From the "Distort Objects with the Free transform tool" help topic)
"Select one or more objects.
Select the Free Transform tool .
Start dragging a corner handle on the bounding box (not a side handle), and then do one of the following:
Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) until the selection is at the desired level of distortion.
Hold down Shift+Alt+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) to distort in perspective."
(from the "Rotate an object by a specific angle" help topic:)
You can control the exact angle of rotation with the Rotate command.
Select one or more objects.
"Do one of the following:
To rotate around the center point, choose Object > Transform > Rotate, or double-click the Rotate tool.
To rotate around a different reference point, select the Rotate tool. Then Alt‑click (Windows) or Option‑click (Mac OS) where you want the reference point to be in the document window.
Enter the rotation angle in the Angle text box...."
These Tool based mouse-key combinations do occasionally work as they are supposed to, so I know what the expected results are supposed to look like, but whether they work or not appears to depend on the phase of the moon, the day of the week, and the color of the president's underwear.
Other non-tool based mouse-key combinations in Illustrator work consistently all the time - Ctrl-A for Select All as just one example that always works.
Thanks Again

PreparedStatement not working with Oracle

Hi All,
I am using preparedStatement in my JDBC code to fetch/insert values from oracle9i database.
I am checking condition like if a given record does not exist then insert it else update it.
First time it works when there is no row in database, however for subsequent run it's not able to return me the result though that row exist in database and this resulting in DuplicateKeyException becuase it try to create the row in db again.
The code is working fine for MySQL DB2 and SQLServer but doesn't work in case oracle 9i
Here is mycode
//problem is here 1st time it works next time it is not retunring true though record is there in DB.
if(isItemExist("1","CORP"))
updateItem("1","CORP","DESC1");
else
insertItem("1","CORP","DESC1");
public boolean isItemExist(String itemid, String storeid)
String FIND_SQL = "SELECT item_desc from item where item_id = ? and store_id = ? ";
c = utils.getConnection();
ps = c.prepareStatement();
int i = 1;
ps.setString(i++, storeid);
ps.setString(i++, itemid);
rs = ps.executeQuery();
if(rs.next()){
     return true;
utils.close(c, ps, rs);
else{
     return false;
utils.close(c, ps, rs);
public void createItem(String itemid, String storeid, String item_desc)
String INSERT_SQL = "INSERT INTO item(item_id,store_id,item_desc)values(?, ?, ?)";
c = utils.getConnection();
ps = c.prepareStatement();
int i = 1;
ps.setString(i++, itemid);
ps.setString(i++, storeid);
ps.setString(i++, item_desc);
ps.executeUpdate();
utils.close(c, ps, null);
public void updateItem(String itemid, String storeid, String item_desc)
String INSERT_SQL = "UPDATE item SET item_desc = ?, store_id=? WHERE item_id = ?";
c = utils.getConnection();
ps = c.prepareStatement();
int i = 1;
ps.setString(i++, item_desc);
ps.setString(i++, storeid);
ps.setString(i++, itemid);
ps.executeUpdate();
utils.close(c, ps, null);
Kindly suggest what's wrong with code. because same code works with other databse like SQL Server, MySQL but it is not working with oracle9i.

if(isItemExist("1","CORP"))
updateItem("1","CORP","DESC1");
else
insertItem("1","CORP","DESC1");
String FIND_SQL = "SELECT item_desc from item where item_id = ? and store_id = ? ";
ps.setString(i++, storeid);
ps.setString(i++, itemid);
String INSERT_SQL = "INSERT INTO item(item_id,store_id,item_desc)values(?, ?, ?)";
ps.setString(i++, itemid);
ps.setString(i++, storeid);
ps.setString(i++, item_desc);
String INSERT_SQL = "UPDATE item SET item_desc = ?, store_id=? WHERE item_id = ?";
ps.setString(i++, item_desc);
ps.setString(i++, storeid);
ps.setString(i++, itemid);My first guess, looking at the above snippets, would be that the item_id field is a number and not a string and so you should be calling ps.setInt instead of ps.setString when setting that parameter.
This is only a guess, however, since you have not posted what the actual error is, which will probably give a hint to what the actual error is.

Isub not working with new imac

the help menu is telling me to make sure that the isub is plugged in, and then to make certain it is selected under sound preferences... the only problem is that the imac is not picking up that the usb is even plugged in- there is no isub option that comes up on the sound preferences.
the isub works fine on my older mac, but just is not being read on the new one. any guesses other than my old isub is obsolete with my new imac?
thanks
-pd

The iSub is sweet! It's the best sub I've ever had! There's no reason for it to NOT work with the new Macs. It's a bummer. I still have my iSub, maybe they'll start supporting it again someday.

My 4th gen iPod Touch does not work with Ford sync since updating OS

When I updated my iPod to the new os, it does not work with my ford sync system anymore. how do I fix this?

Have lots of issues with Fords MySync and here's some info that might help....
Using ford sync interface, goto the phone section, then settings, and look if your iPhones name is listed, if so select the phone name thru sync interface and remove/delete it from the sync list, then go thru the Bluetooth pairing process again.
If that doesn't work, do the same on the iPhone, select ford sync entry in Bluetooth and remove sync or forget this device on the iPhone and then go thru Bluetooth pairing again.
If that doesn't work Power off iphone ( not sleep) hold power button till you see red slider to power off. Then restart iphone, try pairing up again.
If that doesn't work go back to MySync and goto phone settings and use the up-down slider till you see sync master reset. Confirm then go thru BT pairing again.
If that doesn't work there is a fuse for the my sync system. Fuse box is usually behind kick panel of front passenger seat side for the Mustang #3, its behind a paper black cover. Remove fuse for 5-30 secs then replace.
Lastly, make sure your MySync Firmware is the latest vers. Mines 4.0.2 goto fords MySync support page to check
http://www.ford.com/syncmyride/
or call 1-800-392-3673 Opt 3
A google search might help for your model and year if not a newer mustang and you couldn't get to ford.
Good Luck

Flash Player 11.3.300.262 Not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.

*Flash Player 11.3.300.262 is not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.*
Millions of people got off work & turned on there computers recently to discover that Firefox is not playing any videos or flash content. Just like me, millions of people are randomly searching the internet in a futile & frustrating attempt at answers. Unfortunately, many of those people will simply stop using firefox & deem it a glitchy, unreliable browser.
This happened to me a couple days ago. I started up my computer & got a pop-up from Adobe saying that I need to update my flash player to 11.3.300.262. I've always thought of adobe as being a reliable software company, so I clicked on it with confidence that things will be working even smoother. To my horror, I relalized that right after the update, my main browser, firefox was destroyed. Then I went on the frustrating process of uninstalling, re-installing, running virus scan, researching the internet like a lost child. I said to myself, "that's why I hate updating stuff, because updates always seem to change stuff you don't want it to change & there always seems to be a problem with the updates." I usualy update software months after it releases, because microsoft & all the other software companies always seem not to test there stuff properly before releasing them. Then we have to look at a glitchy computer until the next update fixes it. Well, that is my rant. Now let me discuss the problem I found.
Problem:
What I did was, go into my firefox extentions menu & I disabled the 11.3.300.262 & I re-enabled the previous flash player. After that, everything worked perfect again. Then a today (a week later), I turned on my computer & my firefox wasn't playing any videos or flash content again. I went into my firefox extenions menu again, & I discovered that my old flash player had been deleted, & this new glitchy 11.3.300.262 had been enabled. Why did adobe feel the need to into my computer & automaticly delete & update my flash player. Now it doesn't work. THIS IS REALY FRUSTRATING!
The Issue I discovered:
"RealPlayer" is the most popular video program & it is installed on millions of computers. For some strange reason Firefox does not want its users to use Real Player. Specifically the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2. I also discovered that my Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2 was automatically disabled when the Adobe 11.3.300.262 was automatically updated also.
- Maybe this could be because of some copyright conspiracy to keep people from downloading videos from the web.
- Maybe firefox wants people to use there download add-on instead of RealPlayers downloader.
I don't know what ther reason is. But what I do know is Nobody is going to delete there RealPlayer from there computer just to use FireFox. We can simply use Chrome or Internet explorer. I took the advise from Adobe & disabled the FireFox RealPlayer Extention. I also went into my RealPlayer preferences options, But there was no option to disable download recording from FireFox. BECAUSE I ALREADY DISABLED THE ADD-ON in FireFoxes menu.
Solution:
Step 1: Adobe needs to update all the computers with the previous flash player. That way we can choose to enable the previous flash player in our FireFox. or wait until a new update fixes the problem with firefox.
Step 2: Adobe & FireFox need to get together & go back to the drawing board. They need to create a update that actually works on computers that have Real Player installed on them. I don't care which company does the update. All I care about is if it works. Thank You.
Oh yea, Im running FireFox 13.0.1, Windows 7, HP computer, Real Player is up to date.

Hey Chris,
I was able to duplicate this issue on my Windows 7 laptop as follows:
     1) Completely uninstall FlashPlayer (using your tool) as well as Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Maintenance Service (used Windows 7 - uninstall from Control Panel). Please note that I checked the box that said "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" to ensure that Firefox was completely gone from my laptop.
     2) I then went out to the Firefox website and downloaded the "Firefox Setup 13.0.1.exe" app to my laptop. I ran this app to install Firefox.
     3) I then went to the following website http://www.ishmael.org.uk/karaoke02.php as I know that this URL uses Flash Player (obviously you can go to any URL that uses Flash Player - I'm just letting you know which one I used). I then clicked on the icon on this page to install Flash Player.
Once the install was completed, the URL stops responding and appears to be locked up (although it will occassionally hiccup and display portions of the page and then lock up again). You will eventually get a pop-up notice from Firefox that has the header "Warning: Unresponsive script" and says the following:
     A script on this page may be busy or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to to see of the script will complete. Script: chrome://browser/content/browser.js:6551
Selecting "Stop script" will get Firefox working until you hit another page that uses Flash Player.
To ensure that the above URL is not the culprit, I used one from your website http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html and had the same results.
Hope this info helps!
Jeff
NOTE: As a reminder, I do not have RealPlayer installed on my laptop (and never have had it installed)

IMessage not working with one single contact

My iPhone has stopped sending iMessages to one singular contact. Before today we have been using iMessage to communicate regularly. This is the only contact that iMessage does to not work with on my phone and on his he can iMessage me but I don't receive these messages. Also in group chats we can no longer communicate due to this issue.

Did anyone fix this problem?
This just happened to me yesterday! I have iOS 7.1, had no issues until yesterday!
I can iMessage my iMessage friends on my iPad with no problem, but the iPhone 5 randomlly decided yesterday that it would only iMessage selective people!
I've tried everthing I can find so far.

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Not working with Fedora 14

Our ERP is compactible up to Fedora 14. But I newly purchased Printer(
HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw) is not working with this OS.
Give me a urgent solution

Hi @HealthITLadyRed,
I read your post and see that the printer is making noise and is stuck initializing. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
I have provided some steps to try to see if we can resolve this issue.
Check and remove any packaging material inside the printer and toner.
Disconnect the USB/Network/FAX and power the printer on Standalone.
Do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
If the issue persists, perform a power drain by disconnecting the power cord from the back of the printer and keeping the power button pressed for 30 seconds and in case of a power switch keep the switch in ON position for 30 seconds before reconnecting the power chord.
Update the printer's firmware by a USB connection. Software and Drivers.
Select Option 2 and wait for the page to load and then select the link for firmware. This resolved the previous posters issue.
I can send a private message with another step to try.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What happened prior to this issue? (paper jam, changed toner) Any feedback would be appreciated.
Is this a new printer?
If you appreciate my efforts, please click the Thumbs up button below.
If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know. Thank You.
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

HP Laserjet 4 plus not working with Powerbook G4 & 10.5.8

I have been using a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 with a HP Laserjet 4 plus without any problems. Last week I updated my G4 to 10.5.8. To acheive this, I purchased a full retail 10.1 DVD from Ebay installed it then updated to 10.5.8 using Apples Update Software feature. I believe all the features of my computer work except printing. Previously I have been using an apple wireless network without any problems.
Now when using 10.5.8 I have tried this:
1) select system preferences
2) then select print & fax
3) then click on the plus sign to add a printer
4) the window that shows up that says default, fax. ip, windows, bluetooth, apple talk, more printers across the top of it.
5) In this window the are two Laserjet 4 plus machines listed. One is listed with Appletalk and one is listed with Bonjour Shared. I only own one machine. I have tried selecting both of them separately and each time the same problem continues to happen.
Each time either of the Laserjet 4 plus printers are selected the "Print Using" pull down menu begins searching for new drivers. The gray circular animation just goes round and round and eventually does not do anything. Obviously something has not installed correctly. Or there is a conflict somewhere that I have not been able to figure out.
I have downloaded and installed the HP Laserjet and Edgeline print-only.mpkg from HP's website. The problem still exists.
A family member in my household is using an Intel MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 with this same HP Laserjet 4 Plus on the same bonjour shared network without any problems. This being the case, I am confident the old HP 4 Plus printer will work with 10.5.8 using an apple wireless network.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

The HP 4 printer has a JetDirect card in the back of it. The JetDirect card has a 10BaseT ethernet which I connected with an ethernet cable to an airport express base station. The express unit communicates with the main airport unit in my home.
Many years ago I worked for a company that rebuilt macintosh computers and hardware for resale. I rebuilt this HP printer from spare parts and added the JetDirect card at that time and have not had any major problems with the unit until now. It had no problems or printing errors when I was running 10.4.11.
I neglected to mention that after the printer would not work with 10.5.8 I went back and tried to reinstall the optional printer driver package on the original 10.5.1 installation DVD. When this did not work either, I downloaded the HP print driver package available from their website. Could I have somehow screwed this up by installing the incorrect or uncompatible print drivers?
Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.
