Surf with 3G, but need wifi to print????? Noooo....

I am way to far off the road to get any Internet connection other than 3G. 
I like to print content from the Internet often.  My brand new Epson printer that is air print enabled, apparently is only capable of that air print feature when it is connected to a router.
Therefore, I must keep switching back and forth in settings between wifi on/off when I was to print or surf.  If there another way!!!!!!!!!!!??????????   There's gotta be another way.  I've tried a couple apps, but I've not been real impressed so far..one of which is "photon" .   Either way, if someone could please shed some light on this topic.....that would be great!

AirPrint works by using a local network. A 3G connection isn't part of, nor does it create, a local network. That's why you can't print over a 3G connection. Perhaps you can find an app that will allow you to send a document to an email address and print it automatically? Check PrintCentral. I think it offers something like this.

  • Batch Query with Batch but need address lines split by column

    Hi folks,
    I have the following query I created with the batch number of the sales order:
    SELECT T0.[DocDate] as "Date", T1.[DocNum] as "Sales Order Number",  T0.[CardCode] as "Customer Code", T0.[CardName] as "Customer Name",T1.[Address2], T0.[ItemCode],  T0.[ItemName], T0.[BatchNum], T0.[Quantity], T1.pickrmrk FROM IBT1 T0, ORDR T1 WHERE T0.[BaseNum] = T1.[DocNum] and T1.docstatus = 'O' and T0.WHSCODE = '01' order by T0.BaseNum
    Now I need to split the address by column so need street, block, city, county, country and zipcode fields from CRD1, but would either need the ship to address of the sales order it is selected or even just the default ship to address of the sales order.  In above query T1.[Adress2] is not quite right for our needs, as this file will have to be exported to 3rd party.  So I have gotten this far:
    SELECT T0.[DocDate] as "Date", T1.[DocNum] as "Sales Order Number",  T0.[CardCode] as "Customer Code", T0.[CardName] as "Customer Name",T1.[Address2], T2.[Street], T2.[Street], T2.[Block], T2.[City], T2.[County], T2.[Country], T2.[Zipcode], T0.[ItemCode],  T0.[ItemName], T0.[BatchNum], T0.[Quantity], T1.pickrmrk FROM IBT1 T0, ORDR T1, CRD1 T2 WHERE T0.[BaseNum] = T1.[DocNum] and T1.docstatus = 'O' and T0.WHSCODE = '01' and T0.[CardCode] = T2.[CardCode] and T2.[AdresType] = 'S' order by T0.BaseNum
    but will split into multiples if a business partner have more than one shipping address.
    Can someone please advise on this one?
    Many thanks in advance,

    Thanks Agustin, tried it with RDR12 as the following query:
    SELECT T0.[DocDate] as "Date", T1.[DocNum] as "Sales Order Number",  T0.[CardCode] as "Customer Code", T0.[CardName] as "Customer Name",T1.[Address2], T2.[StreetS], T2.[BlockS], T2.[CityS], T2.[ZipCodeS], T2.[CountyS], T2.[CountryS], T2.[ZipCodeS], T0.[ItemCode],  T0.[ItemName], T0.[BatchNum], T0.[Quantity], T1.pickrmrk FROM IBT1 T0, ORDR T1, RDR12 T2 WHERE T0.[BaseNum] = T1.[DocNum] and T1.docstatus = 'O' and T0.WHSCODE = '01' order by T0.BaseNum
    but has multiple lines for different addresses (and not just shipping addresses of that businss partner sales order).
    Anymore ideas or can you spot error in the query?
    Thanks again,

  • Generate image with CFIMAGE - but need to use img tag to serve the content

    I create a new image with cfimage, that already works without
    any problems.
    But instead of using the action="writetobrowser" I need to be
    able to use the script inside a img tag:
    Example: <img
    src="myscript.cfm?somedata=iwanttheimagetocreate>
    I found one webpage that deals with that problem (
    http://www.webdevelopernews.com/2007/09/14/serving-up-cfimages-via-image-tags/)
    but the image served to the browser, when using the code below, is
    of a very low quality and another point is that you can't serve
    .gif's to the browser.
    <cfcontent type="image/jpg"
    variable="#ImageGetBlob(backgroundimage)#">
    Any suggestions/solutions?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    In that entry Raymond mentions:
    "The WriteToBrowser action actually generates HTML that points
    to a ‘magic’ URL to serve the image.". ie <img
    src="/CFFileServlet/_cf_image/_cfimg-12345036853711072.PNG" alt=""
    />
    Perhaps you could create a function that captures the
    generated html by using <cfsavecontent>.
    <cfsavecontent variable="imageTagHTML">
    <cfimage action="writeToBrower" ..>
    </cfsavecontent>
    Then uses a regular expression to extract and return the url
    portion only. ie
    "/CFFileServlet/_cf_image/_cfimg-12345036853711072.PNG"
    <cfset ExtractedURLHere = SomeFunction(arguments...)>
    <cfoutput><img
    src="#ExtractedURLHere#"></cfoutput>
    Though you could also use the entire html string directly
    <cfoutput>#imageTagHTML#</cfoutput>

  • Not too tech savy with tablets but need help

    My Nook HD+ uses Adobe Air, tablet says version is 3.3.  One of my games says it needs updated version of Adobe Air.  Go to Google play to d/l and it does and tries to install but I get an error message on tablet saying it "Already Exists."   Tried uninstalling the game app and reinstalling, shutting off tablet, etc., cleared the cache for my Adobe Air in my app settings, not sure about "clearing data" if I should try that, what that will do, and was told not to "disable" the app. by B&N tech support as that would completely wipe it off my system.  I'm trying to avoid doing a factory reset of my tablet.  B&N tech also said it did update, because it says it already exists?? if so then why is it still showing older version, not 13, after shutting down tablet and turning on again.  Google Play tech support says Adobe Air should work, that it's compatible. Somebody? Anybody please help!! Miss my game (Mahjong Time) which worked great before this update request. 
    Thanks in advance,

    Launch iTunes on your computer, plug the phone in & on the "Summary Pane", select "Restore". This will restore the phone to factory settings with all of your son's stuff gone. You can now use it as an iPod touch. To do this REQUIRES the deactivated sim card be still installed in the phone.

  • Printer installed but not responding to print jobs

    I'm not quite sure how to intelligently ask this question so let me describe what happened.
    I have a friend who asked for help in troubleshooting a problem with his printer.  His printer is a brand new HP Officejet 6600 sitting near his computer and is on his wifi network.  He can not print to it wirelessly from his iMac running Lion, but his wife can print wirelessly to it from another room on her iMac.  He can print using USB, though, but he prefers wireless because of the wiring situation in this room.  Plus, he bought for wireless printing.
    When I got there I checked his System Preferences:Print & Fax and confirmed that his printer was installed and had the green idle light showing ready for a print job.  I tried to print and everything looked normal and showed that the job was sent to the printer and was 100% completed but the printer never responded.  I tried it from his wife's computer and confirmed that she was able to print a page with no problem.  I brought my MBP and joined his wifi network and added his printer and was also able to print.
    So, I tried some basic troubleshooting steps trying to print after each one, and nothing worked.  I deleted and re-installed his printer, repaired permissions, restarted in Safe Boot, tried printing in a second user account, Reset printing system..., deleted all com.apple.print... preferences,  installed Onyx and ran the System Cleaning routines,  powered down/up the router/computer/printer, reset the wifi on the printer and rejoined his network, and probably a few other things I can't remember right now.
    After doing all of this and throwing up my hands I tried to print again from my MBP to prove that I still could, and this time was not able to print.  It kept trying to send the job but the printer never responded.  His wife's iMac was still able to print, however.  This got me frustrated and I decided to ask this forum for help.
    Oh, and here's some more information.  His wife has a printer next to her computer, an HP Officejet something (I forget, not 6600, though).  His iMac is able to print over wifi to this printer with no problem.  What the...?
    What other things can I try? Does this point to something in the printer such as a bad wifi card, or something?  Any suggestions or ideas will be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    LilyLC, hold on to your chair you will not believe what happened today.  Bear with me while I give you all the details but you will want to read the entire story.
    First, to answer your question in the first paragraph of that last post, his wife's printer is connected to his wifi and is using the driver installed by Apple and has been updated on the same date as his computer that I gave earlier.  She can print to her printer and so can he.  After the troubleshooting steps I have taken and took today I agree with your assessment about an intermittent issue with the printer, too, but let me tell you what I did today.
    Before going to his house I decided to set up a second wifi LAN at his house using my router to check if his Airport Extreme (I incorrectly thought initially it was an Airport Express) router was the problem.  The thinking being that I have checked his printer and computer and nothing I have tried is making a difference, so the only thing left is his router.  So, I set up my router and joined his computer, printer, and my MBP, to the wifi and tried to print from both computers.  The printer still was NOT working!  That was a big disappointment since I just knew that was going to work.  I guess that eliminates the router.  I reconfigured his computer back to his wifi and proceeded to the next step.
    I hadn't installed the drivers from the website you gave me earlier since I saw in Software Updates that he had updated to that same driver set already.  Now I got to thinking that maybe those files were corrupted somehow so I downloaded the drivers from the website you gave me and installed.  Deleted drivers from Print & Scan pane and installed the newly downloaded driver, tried to print, and that failed, too.
    Next I tried your suggestion of using the LPD protocol instead of the HP JetDirect and that setup failed for some reason.  I reconfigured using the HP JetDirect, and that worked for printing, as before, but the scan function was not available, as before.
    I was getting a little pressed for time today and had time to try one more thing, so I decided to forgo the new Location setup until tomorrow and instead chose to plug his printer directly into the Airport Extreme via USB and see what happened.  I deleted the IP driver and clicked the + to add the installed driver and was presented with an HP Officejet 6600 on the top line and lower down under "Nearby Printers" found an HP Officejet 6600 series [XXXXXX] and under that HP Officejet 6600 Fax.
    I chose the first driver and installed and tried to print and was successful.  However, the scan function was not available.  So I deleted that driver and chose the second one.  I noticed immediately that the scan function was available.  Thinking I might have something I tried to print and was unsuccessful.  Mmm...printing works with the first driver but not the second and scan works for the second but not the first.  What's with THAT? 
    This was really getting frustrating by this time and after much discussion with him I told him I thought the printer was the device at fault.  For some reason his printer just did not like his network.  I tried printing to his wife's computer and that worked great.  No problem there.  But for some reason his printer did not like his network and refused to work by setting up manually.
    I recommended that he bring the printer back and exchange it for another printer.  He agreed and immediately boxed it up and left for the store.  I returned home to more friendlier surroundings.
    Here's where it gets interesting, and it helps to know that my friend is in his mid-eighties.  About an hour later he calls and tells me he's sitting in the parking lot of Office Depot.  He tells me that when he was in the store discussing with Customer Service about an exchange it dawned on him out of the blue that he DIDN'T NEED TWO PRINTERS!!  He said that if he could print to his wife's computer today then he could print to it from now on.  I was speechless!!!  I told him I asked him at the beginning of all this why he had to have two printers, and at that time he said "trust me, we need two printers".  Ok.  He tells me he has no idea why he didn't realize that wifi worked differently than cable.  He thinks that maybe since his older two printers were each connected to his and his wife's computer these newer computers operated the same way too.  But he admits to me that he was the one who set the printers up on his wifi network, so why he didn't realize that only one printer was necessary with wifi he didn't know.  He was embarrassed.  He admitted to me that technology is very difficult for him to understand.  No kidding!!!
    I didn't need to remind him how much time had been spent on this problem because he was quick to apologize and was very sorry for taking up so much of my time, and he really appreciated the effort.  I told him I didn't mind.
    And I really didn't, because I learned so much from this experience by following your suggestions, LilyLC.  I never knew how to set up a printer using its IP address, and the protocols to use, and I never knew how to add new Locations in the Network pane and why it might be useful.  You also got me to considering other troubleshooting ideas I wouldn't have thought of otherwise.  So maybe my friend and I aren't that different after all.
    I really appreciate all the suggestions, links, and ideas you offered during this effort, LilyLC.  I wish I could have determined the cause of the problem but, not knowing the inner workings of these devices, I can only assume that it had to have been the printer.
    I bet I get a call from my friend a week from now saying that he just bought a second printer for his room because his knees can't take the walking from his room to his wife's room to get all of his printouts.  All I can say is THAT printer better work.
    Thanks again, LilyLC, for all your time and help.  It was really appreciated!

  • Printer needs restart to print with WiFi

    I moved my older G4, with OS 10.4.xx to our kitchen for my wife to use. I installed an Airport card in the computer as I have no hardwire connection in my kitchen. The G4 work fine with the internet, but it will not print to my network printer whenever I take the G4 out of sleep. If I restart the printer, printing works fine, but once the G4 goes to sleep and then awakes, it cannot find the printer on the network. The printer is a Dell Color laser 3110cn. This same compuet worked fine printing when it was hardwired to the network, no WiFi.
    Any ideas?

    I found a new clue. I have a portable MacBook Pro and it also has the same printing problem when I connect it to my network wirelessly. I cannot ping the printer either, but my commuters that are hardwired to the printer, but through the same router have no issue with ping or printing. My network is all static IP addresses. I use 10.0.0.xx for all the addresses.
    A little more about my network my help figure the problem out:
    I have 4 macs 2 hardwired 2 WiFi
    The printer is connected to one of the ports on the my D-Link DI-625 WiFi router.
    Port1 : Another Router wired
    Port2 : Dell Printer
    Port3 : VoIP Telephone
    Port4 : Spare for MacBook Pro direct connect.
    WAN Port : DSL Router
    Second Router
    Port1 : Connection to WiFi Router above (Port 1)
    Port2 : eMac G4
    Port3 : MacPro
    I did have the printer connected to the Second Router, but moved it to the first to see if it fixed the WiFi printing problem, but it did not.
    Hope this additional information helps.

  • Can I update my OS if I have 10.4.11 (ibook G4 PPC). I need a new printer, but there aren't any that will work with my current OS

    I have an iBook G4 PPC. I need a new printer, but my OS isn't supported by any...Can I update to a newer version?

    Hello, there are printers available, especially ones that use Postscript, is it Laser or Inkjet you're looking for?
    Highest you can go is 10.5.8
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
    May be available from Apple again...

    Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...

  • I have an iphone 4S with broken wifi (!) and I need to sync my contacts before I set up my new iphone 6. I thought contacts synced automatically with itunes but seems not.  I've found my Apple address book but contacts are outdated. What to do? Help!

    I have an iphone 4S with broken wif i :-( and I need to sync my contacts before I set up my new iphone 6. I thought contacts synced automatically with itunes but seems not.  I've found my Apple address book but contacts are outdated. What to do? Help!

    If your Bluetooth is working, you may be able to tether your phone to another device, and backup that way.  Either via iCloud or one of many Apps that send yourself a VCF file containing your contacts.
    You may have to update to a later IOS via USB and iTunes, not sure if IOS 6 has Bluetooth Tethering.
    I would have thought you could also switch off cloud sync'ing for your contacts, this should ask a question if you want to keep the contacts on your phone.  An iTunes Backup and then Restore to your new iPhone should restore the local contacts.  Then sync these back to the iCloud.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have an old MAC using OS 10.5 (does not have Intel processor). I need a new printer, but i cannot find one that will work with such an old operating system. Is there a new printer that will work with this old system?

    Canon Pixma iP4950 works great with my PPC G5 iMac on Leopard. Maybe other of their models do as well.

  • I have just converted from PC to iMac. Yay. But pls be nice to me; I am back to newb! Running Lion. Have connected a Time Capsule as both a backup and WAP. I want to be able to join the network with my iPad, iPhone, iPod to print. How can I do this?

    Can I do this using the Time Capsule. I am not tech, so bear with me. Can I get the iPad to connect wirelessly to the TC, which connects wirelessly to the Canon MP495? Or, can I connect/network the iPad to the iMac to print?
    Either way, or if there is any other solution, I would appreciate if someone would walk me through it, or point me to a plain-speaking resource.
    Thankyou.
    Actually, one more: I would like to connect my HP laptop as well. I have heard this is not simple, but possible.

    You can create a wifi network with your TC, and you can join this network with your iPad. However, your printer does not support the AirPrint protocol, so you will not be able to print from your iPad, unless you load additional software.
    These are the steps:
    1.  (You may have completed this step already) Set up your TC to create a wireless network. You can do this from AirPort Utility on your Mac or from the AirPort Utility App on your iPad (free download from the App Store).
    2. From your iPad, go to settings / wifi and join the network.
    3. Download the Canon iPhone App from the App store on your iPad
    4. You can now print photos from your iPad to your Canon printer.
    If you want full functionality, (not just photos), there is software for your Mac that makes your printer available to your iPad through AirPrint (Printopia). The downside is, you have to purchase it, and you have to have your Mac running when you want to print from your iPad.
    Good luck!

  • I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

    i've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?
    is it possible to change imei number?
    i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

    If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
    The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
    With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
    Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    Erase your device
    Reactivate and use your device
    This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
    What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
    If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
    Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
    While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
    To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
    For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

    How is the C6200 connected to the iMac, is it via USB or Wi-Fi? If it's via Wi-Fi please make sure it's connected to the router using the printer's Network Wizard. Then click System Preferences - Print & Scan and assuming the iMac is on the same network as the printer, if it is the printer should be seen. If it's not then click the + sign and add the printer.
