Solution Found to Printing (printer appears in Bonjour but nothing prints)

I have an Airport Extreme with an HP printer connected via USB. My wireless MACS all printed fine but my one wireless Windows XP machine had no luck using Bonjour for Windows...
==== SOLUTION: =====
I just changed the printer port on my Windows XP machine so it uses my Airport Extreme's actual IP address and it began printing. The link attached shows the steps...

Got my ipad mini. It works perfectly fine until I updated to ios 6.0.2. Now I can't connect to wifi. I've tried every solutions offered in every forums and internet sites but nothing happened. Still ipad cannot connect to wifi. HELP!!!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Phone appears under "devices," but nothing else shows up

Hi,
I restored my 3g iPhone after having difficulty upgrading to 2.1. Now, the phone works fine, but I can't do anything with it in iTunes 8.0 (such as sync it with my old backup). The phone appears under "devices," but nothing happens when I click it there.
What do I do?

Googling for the du vs df gives a lot of links. Here is some info from ext3 FAQ (I guess it applies to ext4 too):
The standard cause for this is some user process keeping a deleted file open. When this happens, the space is not visible via 'du', since the file is no longer visible in the directory tree. However, the space is still used by the file until it is deallocated, and that can only happen once the last process which has the file open either closes its file descriptor to the file, or the process exits. You can use the lsof program to try to find which process is keeping an open file. Usually it's some log file, or some large data base file which gets rotated out, but some older process are still keeping the log file open.
This is a longer article giving some more reasons, and says that du is more accurate than df.
EDIT: But the difference is seriously huge in your case!

puchased music in itunes. but no file can be found. Have checked for available downloads but nothing available. Went to purchase again thinking i would not be charged again, but it warns me that i will actually be buying again and may have duplicates in library after purchase. Normaly after i purchase from itunes, it is a free download any time after, and on my other devices.
Why can't itunes locate these files?

It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of the important files and data on your computer.
Use that backup to put everything back.

Waiting for Mountain Lion to download; download icon appears in dashboard, but nothing is happening. No launch, etc., appears on screen. My IMac already has o.s. 10.6.8 and plenty of space, etc. I have paid for tel. support ($19), waiting 2 hrs!

Mrt. Lion is not downloading after I paid for ap in Apple Store. (I already have 10.6.8 ) The download icon appears in dashboard,, but not action for he last 2+ hours. Also have paid $19 on line gto Apple Support for phone help. got a deadend voice message call saying to leave a message for call back! This, after listing a 2-minute wait on line (after I paid, of course!!) I have a cast number and wonder if/when Apple will actually come through! Any quicker help from you! Thanks!

After Snow Leopard 10.6.2 TM appears to backup, but nothing has changed

I went to find a backup copy of a file and noticed that all hourly backup times are available but nothing has changed or actually backed-up since OS upgrade. Console error log says this.
12/3/09 11:07:31 PM com.apple.backupd[52779] 2009-12-03 23:07:31.619 diskimages-helper[54176:2103] Error loading /Library/Plug-ins/DiskImages/NUMPlugin.bundle/Contents/MacOS/NUMPlugin: dlopen(/Library/Plug-ins/DiskImages/NUMPlugin.bundle/Contents/MacOS/NUMPlugin, 262): no suitable image found.

12/3/09 11:07:31 PM com.apple.backupd[52779] /Library/Plug-ins/DiskImages/NUMPlugin.bundle/Contents/MacOS/NUMPlugin: mach-o, but wrong architecture
I moved this /Library/Plug-ins/DiskImages folder to the trash and TM is working again. What is that package for and can it be safely deleted? Why did it get corrupted?

this is not part of OS X. this is a plugin installed by some 3rd party app you have. I don't know which. google indicate that it could be Norton AV. do you by chance have Norton?

Quicktime launches, appears in taskbar but nothing on desktop

Each time I launch QTPro, it appears in the taskbar but there is no application open on the desktop. When I right click the taskbar icon, there is no option (grayed out) for Restore or Maximize, just Close and Move. When I select Move, I get the 4 arrow cursor which jumps to the upper left of the desktop as if QT were there. When I left click as if to move the 'ghost' application, nothing happens and the cursor returns to normal arrow. I check the Task Manager and it shows QT running. The only way I can launch QT is to click on an actual movie file.

if you connect the drive to your AEBS, it cannot show in DU because there is no direct connection to your machine.
you should see an icon of your AEBS under the shared header in a finder window. you can mount the airdisk by clicking once on that icon, then on the folder representing your Seagate and it will mount on your desktop.
you can have the drive mount automatically @ startup by adding it to your *startup items*. go system preferences > accounts > login items and add the drive (it must be mounted to be selectable) using the little "+" sign.

Trashcan appearing on desktop - but nothing else is

For some reason everything on my desktop has disappeared, except for the trashcan - and even that isn't there when I glance at the desktop using Expose.
Here's what I've tried to do to solve the problem:
-Restart Finder;
-Fix permissions using Disk Utility.
-Restart the computer.
If I navigate to the desktop using Finder, then everything is there: it just doesn't appear on the actual desktop.
Any suggestions?

You are welcome, Jim - glad to help.
Preference files (plist) will occasionally (rare, but it happens) become corrupted. OS X rebuilds them as needed with default values.
Incidentally, welcome from the "dark side." Once you are here, you will never go back. I used both platforms for many years. When I spend my own money, it was always Apple. I am in double figures on Mac purchases.

An icon for an iBank file appears to open but nothing shows! Why??

I have been using iBank for a couple of years and suddenly the file will not open. The program opens and all appears to be as it should except the info file does not open. Where did it go? How is it hiding?

Try the support area of their website > http://www.iggsoftware.com/support.php
And click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen. From the drop down menu click Recent Items > Documents
It may launch from there.
And try using Spotlight. Click the Spotlight icon top right corner of your screen. Type in the name of the file.

TS3274 Apple logo appears on iPad, but nothing else happens.

Earlier today, I downloaded some updated apps - about 13. I deleted a newspaper app, then did a sync. Since then, all I get on my iPad is the Apple logo. It isn't recognized in iTunes, and there is apparently no recognition of the iPad when I connect the USB to my computer. I'm running Windows7 Enterprise, and have had no problems in the nearly 3 years I've owned the tablet.

Start with this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't help, and the device is still showing the Apple Logo only and is not being recognized in iTunes, read this about restoring via recovery mode.

8.1 Found Workgroup printer. I'm not on Workgroup! Need new Printer?

Hello,
I have an Epson color 580 printer from like 15 years ago. Worked great with XP. When I tried to print with Windows 8.1, it directed me to save the file as an .xps or something. I couldn't get the .xps to print. I did some reasearch and people said to disable
the windows .xps viewer or whatever it's called in controll panel and make my printer the primary printing device. I disabled and removed the default .xps viewer and the fax under the printers section which automatically moved my printer ('USB Printer') up
from 'secondary' to 'primary' but it still wouldn't print. Then I realized I didn't install the printer driver. I put the driver CD in but nothing at all happened. I went to Epson's site and downloaded the XP driver because it was the latest version. It gave
an error after installing but I restarted and tried to print anyway. When I tried to print, it said 'no printers were set up' and asked to 'install one?' so I hit yes, but it found the printer on someone else's computer in another room of this house and I
thought I wasn't on any sort of network/workgroup sharing and I don't want to be. I had 'find printer and devices on network..." set to OFF in settings. I have eveything that I can see in settings set to not be on the Workgroup/Network sharing. I tried
"The printer that I want isn't here" but that didn't work. With XP, when I used to format, it would show me the name(s) of the workgroups during the format, and I would never join what was default named WORKGROUP. When formatting Windows 8.1, it
didn't show anything about workgroups while I installed it.
The last thing I want is to possibly have my data shared on the network. I've had 8.1 installed for a few days now but I haven't taken anything from my external drive that I saved from my XP machine in case it can be read from other computers in this house
or via Wi-Fi. I really need that data but have been waiting because of this.
So, besides letting me know how I can make sure I'm 0% on the workgroup network if that's even possible, do I need to buy a newer printer to use with windows 8.1 or can I make the Epson color 580 work?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Bill,
There is quite a few questions in your post so I will try to cover them. First, I am happy to hear your choice to use Windows 8, but regarding your workgroup issue. All Windows OS will be part of a workgroup, often called (by default)
Workgroup or Home. If any other computer on your network is using the same workgroup name and is sharing e.g. printers it might result in you see it, but my guess is, you can’t connect to it without the right username and password. Another new feature you
need to be aware of in Windows 8 is the HomeGroup feature
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/homegroup which is Workgroup on steroids and will allow users in the same HomeGroup to share content across a home network, e.g. printers, pictures movies etc. That mentioned, none of this is
enabled by default. However if you accept the network to be a home network some sharing features will be enabled (based on the location awareness in the Windows Firewall), and I guess you have accepted this otherwise network discovery wouldn’t be active –
that said, it can be differ in Windows 8 versions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions)
Regarding your printer it might be a good solution to go get e new printer, however you might be able to make it work by using a generic Epson printer driver or by using Epson Universal Printing. Unfortunately Universal Printing is for
selected Epson printers only.
My Epson knowledge is limited, but a quick search gave me an idea, how about try to use the EPSON Creativity Suite 1.30 for Windows 7 (http://esupport.epson-europe.com/ProductHome.aspx?lng=en-IE&data=qBjAbS6NcI1PPmGd+PArU002FvIhL+ZEhLyrbsKseXRJHfYU003D&tc=6)
and see if that will do the trick – ensure you select the appropriate driver, 32-bit vs. 64-bit.

[PrintService] Printer found but nothing is printed / Invalid Flavor

Hi,
I'm trying to print a plain old UTF-8 String on a printer... Well this appears to me to be something simple, but i can't make it work.
The PrintJob is sent to the printer, i'm told that data transfer to the printer is done... But nothing is printed out from the printer!!
FYI, im working on a Mac... but with other software on my machine i manage to print anything with the printer found by my Java code.
Here is my code:
public void print() {
        LOG.info(incidentFormString.toString());
        DocFlavor docFlavor = DocFlavor.STRING.TEXT_PLAIN;
        PrintRequestAttributeSet printAttributes = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        printAttributes.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
        DocAttributeSet attributes = new HashDocAttributeSet();
        attributes.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
        // get the default printer
        PrintService printService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
        LOG.info("Printer found: " + printService.getName());
        DocPrintJob job = printService.createPrintJob();
        Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(incidentFormString.toString(),
                docFlavor,
                attributes);
        job.addPrintJobListener(new PrintJobListener() {
            public void printDataTransferCompleted(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printDataTransferCompleted");
            public void printJobCompleted(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobCompleted");
            public void printJobFailed(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobFailed");
            public void printJobCanceled(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobCanceled");
            public void printJobNoMoreEvents(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobNoMoreEvents");
            public void printJobRequiresAttention(PrintJobEvent printJobEvent) {
                LOG.info("printJobRequiresAttention");
        try {
            job.print(doc, printAttributes);
        } catch (PrintException e) {
            LOG.error(e.getMessage());
    }incidentFormString is the string i'm trying to print. I chechked its content, it is a proper String, so there re no problems regarding to this.
Here is what i get in my console on Mac
[AWT-EventQueue-0] INFO com.thalys.opalys.client.utils.IncidentFormPrinter - Printer found: 6-OPERA

Hey. Thanks for the quick answer
Sorry i forgot to mention those details.
My log were not verbose enough, but i simulated it on my Mac (i'm developing on my Mac and production is on a PC... the reason is that my company has not been able to give me a powerful enough PC to develop, so instead im using my Mac).
On my Mac it gives:
invalid flavor
at sun.print.Win32PrintJob.print(Win32PrintJob.java:290)
at Printing.main(Printing.java:40)
I also thought it was a problem of data that my printer can or cannot accept.
I used this code:
        DocFlavor docFlavor = DocFlavor.STRING.TEXT_PLAIN;
        LOG.info("DocFlavor Mime-Type: " + docFlavor.toString());
        PrintRequestAttributeSet printAttributes = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        printAttributes.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
        DocAttributeSet attributes = new HashDocAttributeSet();
        attributes.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
        // get the default printer
        PrintService printService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
        LOG.info("Printer found: " + printService.getName());
        DocFlavor[] flavors = printService.getSupportedDocFlavors();
        for (DocFlavor flavor : flavors) {
            LOG.info(flavor.toString());
        }And got this log:
As you can see, the doc flavor i choosed is available on the printer (i just did the test on my Mac, but my PC locates the same default printer as you can see on the previous posts)
