Simple question...I hope

Earlier I posted a question, and this is sort of a follow-up or more fundamental question...
Can you simply print from a PC/Win2000 to a printer that is connected via usb to a Mac (the PC and MAC are wirelessly networked)?
Or, does the printer need to be connected via USB to an airport express?
And if the printer needs to be hook up to an AE, does the AE in turn need to be connected to a Mac; or can it be "alone" and just simply plugged into an electrical outlet (ie, could the AE be in a seperate room from either the PC or MAC and just plugged into the wall with the printer connected via USB)?
Thanks alot, JM

this is what i have learned works (thanks to everyone including iFelix and Joelandfaith):
you can print wirelessly from a pc/win2000 to an printer that is either:
(a) plugged into an AE via usb (follow the stes on iFelix site or use bonjour for windows). that AE in turn can be wired to a mac or router via ethernet or it can be "on its own" (which in this config won't permit you to connect to the internet via the AE gots to go thru the router)
or (b) plugged into a mac w/o any AE involvement. you then set-up the PC to print to the printer (attached to the mac; follow steup at joelandfaith.com). the advantage for me is that this allows me to use the AE for itunes or to create an internet connection since the AE isn't physically tethered to a machine and hence restricted in its placement.
thanks everyone.

  • TS3356 Simple question I hope! I want to buy a camcorder by JVC but it uses a format called AVCHD. I believe this has to be converted before it can be used on iMovie. Can anyone tell me, in simple language, if this is so and how easy it is?

    I want to buy a new camcorder and am considering one by JVC. This one, plus a few others such as Sony use AVCHD. I gather this would be need converting before any editing can be done in imovie?? I cant find a simple answer to this question. It seems strange to me that Mac dont appear to support AVCHD when so many video camera companies use it. Can anyone advise please, in simple language as I am far from a computer geek!!!
    Is conversion a complicated or time consuming process and would it be simpler to fo for an MP4 type

    Most AVCHD camcorders can be used in iMovie without any conversion needed if they are imported directly from the camcorder.
    When you hear someone mention that you must convert AVCHD to use in iMovie, it is usually because they removed the files from the camcorder and only removed part of the files and folders. You need all of them to import to iMovie.
    However, you should check to see if the camcorder you are choosing will work in iMovie. Here is a list of compatible camcorders.

  • A simple question (i hope)

    Hello, sorry if this is an easy one, i just havent come across it before, could any one let me knw what the following means
    if i have a method
    public void myMethod(int i){...}what would this mean...
    myMethod(someInt == 0 ? 255 : 0);thanks for any pointers!

    >
    what would this mean...
    myMethod(someInt == 0 ? 255 : 0);
    The statement within the () is an alternate form of an if condition. It is roughly equivalent to..
    int temp;
    if (someInt==0) {
      temp = 255;
    } else {
      temp = 0;
    myMethod(temp);

  • This is is simple question I hope regarding Apple stores for iDVD...

    Hi all, I have looked over the Apple site and have not come up with a totally concrete answer. What I would like to know is does Apple have a store for iDVD similar to what they have for iPhoto (calendars, books, et). I would like to make some DVD movies but have them look professional. A nice looking case for them and the DVD printed.
    If anyone knows a for sure yes or no please post back.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Nope, no such 'store'.
    You are free to use your own creative juices!
    But this may be useful:

  • Simple question on the main method

    Hello,
    I have a very simple question and hope that somebody 'out there' can help me on this topic:
    I just want to pass some Strings to the main method, which means that I want to do sth. like this:
    java ProgramXY parameter1, parameter2
    I thought it was possible to access these parameters in my main method like the following:
    public static void main(String argv[]) {
    System.out.println(argv[0]);
    System.out.println(argv[1]);
    But it does not work. So what do I do wrong ? Thank you for your help,
    Findus

    That should actually work - though you don't use the comma - just spaces. I don't think a comma would screw things up though - it would just become part of parameter 1.
    Of course, you still want to check argv.length to make sure you don't try reading an array member that doesn't exist.
    What are you seeing if you're not seeing your parameters?
    If you're not putting enough parameters, it MIGHT be possible that you're getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception before the first System.out.println's are flushed to the screen - unsure though.

  • Starting out with a Cintiq in Adobe Flash - A series of frustratingly unfindable simple questions!

    I'm completely new to the Flash IDE, but I have used my Cintiq 13HD with Photoshop in the past. Despite the tablet working well and drawing correctly, so far Flash feels very weird and almost unusable. I've spent hours looking online for answers to these simple questions, and I've found nothing. Please help answer any if you can!
    1. Eraser brush size: I have the wacom pen set to brush, and the eraser set to eraser (fairly standard). I can adjust the pen's brush size in the toolbar, but the eraser is stuck at the smallest size! I have set the eraser tool to the max brush size, and when the pen is set to the eraser tool directly it is larger. How do I set the other side of the wacom pen to a larger brush size? And aren't there any keyboard shortcuts to increase/decrease brush size in Flash? (like [ and ] in Photoshop)
    2. Brush zoom: The brush size changes when you zoom. People online say the brush size is constant, but this is just wrong. When you zoom to 200%, the brush should be twice as big as it is in 100% zoom. Is there any way to make Flash have this (normal) behavior?
    3. Timeline wrapping: Can you make the "step forward one frame" and "step backward one frame" keys (comma and period) wrap the entire timeline, so stepping forward on the last frame goes to frame 1, and stepping backward on frame 1 goes to the last frame? This is crucial for me to animate loops well, and I can't find anything about it online or in preferences. Shift+comma and shift+period are okay workarounds, but they are not ideal, because I have comma and period mapped to buttons on the Cintiq. I need them to wrap!
    4. Numerical Brush Thickness: Is there any way to specify a brush thickness with a number? Do I have to use the pen tool to get stroke thickness properties? At the very least, can I use a keyboard shortcut to specify size, instead of clicking on toolbars?
    Honestly, I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm almost ready to drop Flash entirely and do this in Illustrator, then animate in Flash when I have everything drawn properly. Why is everything so different, and why can't I find any of these simple questions online?

    The long and short of it is no you can't do most of the things you're looking to do as far as the brush is concerned. Flash has ALWAYS increased the brush size as you zoom in and decreased it when it's zoomed out. Why? No clue but it's always been so.  You CAN increase the brush size by number though using the Properties box. The eraser is weird in Flash. so much so that I use the Lasso tool and select what I don't want and delete it. Since you're used to Illustrator you might not realize that selecting areas of a brush stroke will NOT select the entire stroke like in Illustrator. you can select only parts. You can also sort of allow for what you're calling timeline wrapping by installing a Command and mapping it to a custom key command. Just make sure there's a key frame at the end of the cycle.
    Dropbox - Flash_Select_Next_and_Previous_Keyframes.zip
    Also this might do sort of what you want too:
    http://www.toonmonkey.com/frameJumper.fla
    Finally, Flash is no different than it has ever been and you have to take into consideration that while Illustrator was developed by Adobe, Flash was developed by Macromedia and was then acquired by Adobe years later so you' can't really expect it to work the same. Personally I HATE Illustrator's interface and hate the way it works so I'd hate it if Flash worked like Illustrator!
    Anyway, I hope this helps.

  • Simple Question - Data Import

    Hi,
    i have a simple question. Is it wise to change our actual import scenarios for input data from systems out of sap to XI?
    Today we have the scenario that data from outer systems will send per ftp to a special directory. After that a report will transform the data into a batchinput. The btci will send per rfbibl into the system. Now we have a huge number of such reports. Will it now be better to change to XI, which we use perhaps for MDM?
    Xi could take the file from ftp-srever maps the fields an will send per bapi to sap.
    Is it a quite simple scenario or is batchinput still the better way.

    Hi,
    If you have a scenario where you have different file formats , which needs to be converted and then send to different systems based on some conditions , then suggested is XI usage.
    However, also if you already have XI installed and running for the MDM system , then you can think of routing all messages through XI.  It may make sense to use one system for all routing and data conversion puposes.
    Hope this view helps.

  • JComboBox simple question

    I think is a very simple question, I ve got a JComBox with an array of Strings. Something like this:
    JPanel myPanel;
    JComBox box;
    String levels[]={"Level 1","Level 2","Level 3","Level 4","Level 5"};
    box = new JComboBox (levels);
    myPanel.add(box);
    Ok. My question is: How can I let just the level 1 enable at first, or how can I enable or disable just one level of the JCombox, like level 1 and 2 enable but level 3, 4 and 5 disable.
    Thanks a lot!! Hope someone helps me!!

    I don't think this is possible with a JComboBox. I believe it is with a JMenu and JMenuItems.
    You could only display valid options by adding/deleting them. Or you could handle it in the listener code. ie if they select an invalid option do nothing. This would require you keeping track of which options are valid elsewhere in the code.

  • It will cost $49 for a simple question! Not kidding

    I called Apple support today with an issue with charging and of course they asked if I wanted to extend my warrenty for another year for $69...when I said not right now the guy then mentioned that after my initial year warrenty was up or the extra year was up, if I were to call in for a simple question they charge $49!!!!!! Don't believe me.....call and ask yourself... how insane is that???? Thank goodness for discussions like this!

    ibisguy,
    Shh!! I won't tell him. My lips are sealed. He has about 9 years experience working in Call Centers, and has been known to make a mistake or two himself.
    However, for the iPhone telephone support is tied to your account with the carrier. In the U.S. that would be AT&T and two years.
    The AppleCare Protection Plan extends the hardware coverage to two years. If your iPhone were to break during the second year, any repair except the battery would be $199 (4 GB) or $249 (8 GB) plus shipping, and in some states tax. The battery would be $79 plus $6.95 shipping in the second year. The AppleCare Protection Plan (APP) would cover the battery during that second year if it were to be defective, and shipping for repairs.

  • Snap function in CS4 After Effect (simple Question)

    Windows 7 Ultimate
    After Effect CS4
    Gentlemen .
    A very simple question, since i am more of a Premiere person, it seems like I am stuck with this problem and the problem is
    In Premiere its called "Snap" its a tool or function that automatically finds the connecting or starting or ending of a clip.
    For example if I have 3 channels of video and I have many cuts, by dragging the edge of a video , it tells or shows me when they are connected
    I tried to search , all I find is "Snap to Guides" which in not doing what I want .
    If you need more explanation, plz let me know , else hope you can help.
    Thanks.
    Btw. in Premiere the Snap looks like a "Magnet"

    To help you with that we need to know something about your composition settings and the settings you picked in the output module. Anything else would just be a guess. My guess is that you're using some HD footage from a non square pixel aspect ratio format and rendering to the same size. If you pick a square pixel HD format (1080 or 720 both have square pixel frame sizes in the default composition settings) and you put your HDV, DVCProHD, AVCHD, Mpeg non square footage in a square pixel comp it will fit and render out correctly.

Please help me, it stresses me, dont have much time left :( thx If you have use excel and know what's an excel wokbook and excel sheet, then you know the answer. If you Don't, then a workbook it's a sheet container. And sheets are each of the reports/queries that you have in a workbook.
    And from the Discoverer manual, in the Glossary:
    Workbook: "One or more sheets created and saved together. Each sheet is displayed in a sepa-rate tab in the workbook."
    sheet : "A tab in the workbook window. A sheet displays the results of one or more queries."

  • Just a simple question, before deciding to switch

    Uhhh, yeah, I've been considering an Apple for a while, and I've pretty much made up my mind, but I had a simple question. I've been with Windows ever since I began with computers, and as long as I can remember, there's been Paint. Does Mac OS X come with anything like Paint?

    Prior to the new release of MacBooks and Intel iMacs, the Mac was accompanied by Appleworks which has a fine paint program among many other productivity suite applications. You would find it very comfortable to use if you were used to the Windows Paint program because they are much alike.
    Unfortuantely Apple doesn't include it on the new MacBooks or on the iMacs today but that is not to say you can't get ahold of a copy and install it on your new MacBook. Installing programs on a Mac is *sooooo much easier* to do then on a Windows machine and *sooo much easier* to remove (you just drag them to the trash can).
    When you get your new Mac you can buy a copy of Appleworks from Apple ( take a look: http://www.apple.com/appleworks/ ).

  • A simple question on random number generation?

    Hi,
    This is a rather simple question and shows my newbieness quite blatantly!
    I'm trying to generate a random number in a part of a test I have.
    So, I have a little method which looks like this:
    public int getRandomNumber(int number){
            Random random = new Random(number);
            return random.nextInt(number);
        }And in my code I do int random = getRandomNumber(blah)...where blah is always the same number.
    My problem is it always returns the same number. What am I missing here. I was under the impression that nextint(int n) was supposed to generate the number randomly!! Obviously I'm doing something wrong or not using the correct thing. Someone please point out my stupidity and point me in the right direction? Ta

    I think the idea is that Random will generate the same pseudo-random sequence over and over if you don't supply a seed value. (The better to debug with, my dear.) When you're ready to put an app into production, the seed value should be the current system time in milliseconds to guarantee a new sequence with each run.
    Do indeed move Random outside the loop. Think of it like a number factory - instantiate it once and let it pump out the random values for you as needed.
