Slow Printing Startup When Using Windows Vista

My husband just bought a new HP computer with the Windows Vista OS on it. He has an HP LaserJet 1012 printer. The printer did not work until we downloaded the most recent driver for the printer. Now, it prints, but there is about a 20-30 delay after giving the print command before the printer starts printing. Then, it prints Page One; stops a couple of seconds (or more); then prints the next page; then pauses; and so on. When I contacted HP about this, they could not resolve the issue. Further, they said that since they no longer provide support for this printer, I would have to pay $59.99 to get support. The printer works find (and starts printing immediately) with our XP computers, so I know this has something to do with Vista. Any suggestions for resolution will be appreciated.

Try installing as Laserjet 1300 PlC 5
Open Control Panel
Click Printers
Right click your 1012
select properties
select the ports tab
*note the port used by your 1012
Click add a printer
Select add a local printer
select use an existing port
drop down and select the port used by your 1012
click next
scroll left column to HP
scroll right column to HP laserJet PCL5
Click next and continue installation
Works well for me.
Got this on the Amazon.com reviews of HP LJ 1012
Why does HP not tell us that apparently the internal of the 1300 and the 1012 are similar form a driver perspective but there is a "real" vista driver for the 1300?
Forced obsolescence????

Slow(er) startup when using captive runtime on windows

I just converted two AIR apps from native exe installers (requiring AIR installed) to Captive Runtime relases (just a folder structure).
One difference i see is that my applications now load a little slower (because of the packaged instead of installed runtime?).
When using flex 4 sdk the white and centered flex4-loadbar now appears for a few seconds before the splash screen of the app. appears. The same happens when using flex 3 sdk (in compatibility mode) but instead the "initializing" text appears.
Is this slowdown a known effect of the captive runtime packaging?

I responded to your other thread in the bugs forum but wanted to also respond here.
I'm not aware of any slower performance implications when using the captive runtime but I'm going to investigate further. In the meantime, would you mind opening a new bug over at bugbase.adobe.com regarding the startup performance hit? It would be great if you could also provide us with a sample application that illustrates the slower startup time. If you'd like to keep it private, please email me directly at [email protected]
Thanks,

First Generation Ipod Nano gives error message when using Windows Vista

I have a dual boot PC running XP Home and Vista Home Premium. My three kids have Ipod Nanos. Each kid has their own user profile on the PC. The later generation Nanos (2) work with Vista perfectly.
The first generation Nano causes an error message when you connect the Ipod to the PC while running Vista. If you run the XP and associate the Nano with XP everything syncs perfectly with no error messages.
Conclusion: Early Nanos work with XP, but do not function properly with Vista.
Request of Apple INC. - Fix this to work with Vista, or send me a new Ipod free of charge.

All of the following programs should work with Vista.
Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.

How can I sync photos to my iPad 2 when using windows vista ?

If you mean you want to add photos to your iPad, they must be the right format, so the iPad can read the file. Search for a converer online.

When using Windows 2007 in Vista and HP Deskjet 6620 the bottom line gets cut off

When using Windows 2007 in Vista 32bit and HP Deskjet 6620 printer, the bottom line gets cut off. I have searched and searched but find no fix. Please help. What I do find is HP blaming Microsoft and Microsoft blaming HP. Where is the fix??? Think of all of us frustrated users. Is there a fix out there????? I attempted to download a new driver, assign it then attempted the patch all to no avail. I was even told try to bold the document...still no fix. Where is the patch? This is an HP issue. Please assist.
I hope this gets addressed ASAP. In my search many have had this issue with HP. Here is one comment...and it does not look good..."I am extremely upset with this issue and spent far too long trying to work with HP support. The HP support person was hopeless. I gave up and went off on my own. I hope HP releases drivers that correct this problem rightly in the future."
If this is not fixed or addressed I am sure it will affect the future buying of HP products from me and others. Let's see HP come out of this issue smelling like a rose. I await the fix.

I will reply to myself....there is a fix. Thanks to someone else who had the same issue, went round and round with HP and then had this issue escalated up to get a more experienced tech who then had the print driver 990C installed to replace the driver he had selected. Me I had the 6620 which is the correct driver but had the issues so I tried the 990C driver and guess what.....it worked!!!!!!! So, HP is this your driver issue or is it Microsoft? I say driver issue. You might want to get a patch out their for the fix.

"Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan

"Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan with a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus All-In-One network printer.
Printing is fine.
When using the HP Scan application, get the error "Scanner communication cannot be established".
When scanning from the printer itself it fails with the same message. In addition the printer panel displays the error:
"The scan could not be completed due to one or more of the following issues:
Connection to the computer is lost
The scanner is in use
OCR application is not installed"
My PC is a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit, with ethernet cable to the router and ethernet cable to the printer
Originally ran Windows 8.0; recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.
Older separate Netgear router and modem was replaced with a newer Netgear Router/Modem, but both experienced the same problem.
There was no problem with the original Windows 8.0 configuration and only after upgrading to 8.1 did the problem emerge.
On my home netowrk I have an HP ProBook 6550b running Windows 7 sp1 that uses wireless to get to the Router, and it has no problem with scanning.
I have followed the recommendations of a number of articles relating to this issue (including: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02915410&product=4323659#N94), but there has been no change in behaviour.
The printer has a static IP address;
Power settings have been adjusted to Never for Turn off Hard Disk; Sleep and Hybrid Sleep.
Scanning has been tested with all firewalls and antivirus turned off and in Selective Startup.
The printer has been plugged directly into the power socket.
With all these settings the Windows 8.1 cannot scan while the Windows 7 laptop with wireless to the router has no problems.
Appreciate any insights into this problem.
I can only surmise that the problem is a compatibility problem between the 8600 Printer and Windows 8.1.
Any ideas?
regards,
Motorbike

You can determine if there is compatiblity between the printer and PC by checking the Windows 8.1 hardware compatibility list. I have done that and it is shown to be fully compatible. If the driver you installed before was only the basic driver,it would explain the lack of scan and copy functionality.
Download and install the Windows 8.1 full feature driver and software on the HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit PC .

I am using windows vista on a pc. how do i use photoshop elements to increase resolution to 1920 on longest side without getting distortion

using windows vista how to use photoshop elements to increase resolution to 1920 on the longest side without distortion?

When I have the photo onscreen, the only options presented to me under File are Delete, Rename, Make copy, Copy and Properties. It does not give Save as an option. Not sure how to save for web. When I go to Properties, it will not let me change the values at all. I have tried free downloads for image resizing, but so far I have only found where they would allow me to enter lower pixel values, but not increase them. For example, one image is now 960 pi/in X 640 pi/in. I need to double the 960 to be 1920, and so I assume I need to also double the 640 to 1280. But I have not found how to do that. I am very inexperienced in any type of photoshopping, so I'm not terribly surprised to be running into problems, or even understanding what the problems are that I'm having. Any other advice?

Cannot do wifi sync after update IOS 6 using windows vista pc with itunes 10.7

I cannot do the wifi sync,I am using IPAD 3 with IOS 6.I heard people said to do synchronous wireless.It would work I using Windows Vista,then I using Itunes 10.7.Somebody can help me to solve these problem or give me feedback to solve these problem.

Like many others, most of the the workarounds I tried worked but for awhile only and/or not reliably. After more googling and trial and error, I finally ended up with a somewhat reliable solution using the below 2 changes. (I am running up-to-date Win7 with an Ipad2 and an Iphone5 both on ios 6 + and up-to-date Itunes software on the PC).
1) Disable IPv6 on the wireless adapter (see CKNairb's earlier post)
2) Create a bat file which stops and starts the "Apple Mobile Device" service, then starts Itunes
The bat file can be placed in any dir and a desktop shortcut created to point to it in order to easily start Itunes (right-clicking properties of the shortcut and clicking "Change Icon" will even allow the selection of the Itunes icon to make it look just right :-) )
The bat file should contain these lines:
net stop "Apple Mobile Device"
net start "Apple Mobile Device"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe"
Edit accordingly as to whether your Itunes.exe resides in \Program (x86) or \Program.
By starting Itunes using this shortcut/bat file, you will ensure that the Mobile Device service is up and running when Itunes attempts to locate the devices wirelessly - this seems to be the key issue here.
Although it is not 100% reliable, I would say that both devices are detected and synced 90% of the time. (Itunes will always find one of the 2 devices).
Anyways, based on all I have gone through to get this work, I am willing to settle for "almost reliable" solution - hopefully this may work for others as well.
Happy syncing!

How do I change authorization in adobe digital editions using windows vista

How do I change authorization in adobe digital editions using windows vista?
When I try ctrl alt delete, I get the blue windows log in sceen. How do I get past the log in screen to use the ctrl alt delete to change authorization for the adobe digital editions screen.

Adobe apps can be reset to their factory defaults by using Ctrl+Alt+Shift, not Del. The rest doesn't really make any sense since you did not provide any details and authorizations can't be changed that way, anyway. If you want to transfer books to other devices you need to contact the vendors to release the DRM/ provide a new download and if you want to change the registered ID, you need to contact support or create a completely new account, which in turn will require you to buy your DRM managed books again/ get a new download as well.

HP Deskjet 1000 Printer - J110a cannot print in color using WIndows 8

J110a cannot print in color using WIndows 8. The printer will only print in black and white even though it works fine on a PC with Windows 7. I installed the latest drivers from the HP web-site.

Hey @KC1964,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that since installing your HP Deskjet 1000 Printer on your Windows 8 computer you have not been able to print in colour. Because you are able to print fine from a Windows 7 computer we know that this issue is not being caused by your printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. I'm thinking that your machine is either experiencing a driver conflict or a setting issue within the Windows 8 computer. Please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Check Settings:
Open your Start screen by selecting the Windows button on the bottom left hand corner of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl button
Once the Start screen opens type Devices and Printers
Click on Devices and Printers
In the Devices and Printers folder right click on your HP Deskjet
Select Printing Preferences
In the Preferences window select the Advanced button on the bottom right
Look for the Greyscale or Print Black Only and make sure they are disabled
If all settings are correct, yet the issue persists, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Try Alternate Driver:
To confirm if this issue is specific to the Deskjet 1000 driver I am going to have you load an alternate driver on your machine.
Open your Start screen by selecting the Windows button on the bottom left hand corner of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl button
Once the Start screen opens type Devices and Printers
In the Devices and Printers folder right click on your Deskjet 1000 and left click on Printer Properties
Left click on the Advanced tab
Left click on New Driver
When the New Driver window opens just hit 'next' until you see a list of Manufacturers on the left and a list of Printers on the right.
Select HP as the Manufacturer on the left
Select Deskjet 9800 as the printer on the right. If Deskjet 9800 doesn't appear than select 'Windows Update' on the bottom left and once the update completes you will be able to select Deskjet 9800.
After selecting Deskjet 9800 hit next to complete the New Driver Wizard
Under the Printer Properties window select 'Apply' but don't hit OK
Select the General tab
Rename your printer back to HP Deskjet 1000
Hit OK
Lastly, right click on your Deskjet 1000 one more time and left click on Printing Preferences
Left click on the Paper/Quality tab
Left click on the 'Normal' dropdown for Print Quality on the bottom right and change this to Fast Normal
Click Apply and OK
Now that the new driver is added in, please test printing in colour again.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

Using windows vista and all the graphics i create the colours look blurry?

Hi everyone,
I have just started using windows vista and i have noticed
that when i create graphics using fireworks 8 that when i view them
either on dreamweaver 8 or just using the windows viewer that the
graphics and colours in the graphics look very blurry?? Does anyone
know why this should be? As i was creating graphics successfully
before with fireworks 8 when i was using windows xp and had none of
these problems at all.
Any advice would be most welcome.
Many thanks,
Gordon.

Fireworks is not compatible with Aero. So, whenever you start
Fireworks,
Vista will warn you that Areo will not work and to use
Fireworks you must
disable it. Once you close Fireworks, Vista will
automatically re-enable
Aero. Obviously not a huge issue, but it is kind of annoying
for the screen
to flicker and lose all your pretty eye candy every time
Fireworks starts.
