TCP/IP Printer installs - How do I get the proper driver settings?

I saw an older thread relating to this but I thought I would start a new one to revisit this thought.  I want to deploy my printers as TCP/IP and not rely on a shared print server.  This is in case the print server goes down, the users
will still be able to print.  How can I get my driver settings to propagate to the users?  We use HP printers with settings like Printer Status Notifications, what tray to use, pages per sheet, duplexing, etc.  We also use Zebra label printers
with custom stock sizes and tear-off values.

Don't change IP addresses. Implement a DNS alias ("PRNSRV" or whatever)
and point that to the hostname of the current production print server.
And exporting/importing can be automated throuhg PrintBRM.

  • How do I get the proper UTF-8 NVARCHAR2 DB Value into a Java String?

    Hello, I have a mixed char 8.1.7 database with UTF-8 as my NLS
    charset. I used SQL Worksheet to enter test polish unicode
    characters 50309,50310... into an NVARCHAR2 column using
    insert...char(nnn using NCHAR_CS) and get the following result
    from DUMP(columnname,1016):
    Typ=1 Len=12 CharacterSet=UTF8:
    c4,85,c4,86,c4,87,c4,88,c4,89,c4,8a.
    Everything looks good.
    Now, how do I get them out into a Java String and verify that I
    have received the correct hex codes?
    I have tried:
    1. CHAR lChr = OracleResultSet.getCHAR(ColumnName, csUTF8); or
    and lChr.characterStreamValue();
    2. InputStream lIStr = arsResultSet.getBinaryStream(ColumnName);
    3. String lStr = (String)arsResultSet.getObject(ColumnName);
    and then:
    lStr.getBytes("UTF-8"); or lStr.toCharArray();
    I always get questions marks and negative byte values or the
    values: 261,262,263,264,265,266.
    I am using the latest 9.0.1. JDBC Thin drivers and the Oracle
    extensions: OracleResultSet, OracleStatement etc...
    Please let me know what class/method I need, to get the Oracle
    NVARCHAR2 unicode string from the result set into a Java string
    and what method to use to look at the underlying hex codes.
    TIA for any pointers.

    If I use in bdInt=sc.nextInt();a substring cannot be used.
    Does anyone know how I solve this question without substring? Perhapse something I've mentioned above

  • Help! How do you get the cd drive bay out of the Pismo?

    I just bought a new LG CD-RW/DVD drive (hope it was a good choice), but I can't find any info on how to get the old one out and put the new one in.
    There is lots of data on the four easy screws to remove for replacing the drive once it is out of the laptop, but no data on how to get to it while it is still under the keyboard and inside the Pismo?
    Little Fish in a Big Mac Pond
    Pismo G3 PowerBook 400Mhz Safari; iMac G3 DV 400   Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier   Pismo OS X Safari; iMac OS 8.6

    Little Fish,
    A properly working lever will have resistance as it pushes the whole drive mechanism out of the bay. It looks like the lever opens about 45º on my Wallstreet before it starts to eject, then reaches a full 90º with the drive protruding about 1/2 inch...you can then grab the drive and pull it on out.
    If the drive feels like it is not going to move after applying moderate pressure, disconnect all power and cables (only so you do not damage them), turn the 'book so the drive bay hangs over the edge of a table. You can now get your fingernails under the back edge of the drive on the bottom and help pull it out while using the lever.

  • I updated firefox to 4.0 and then to 5.0 and it doesn't look like it is supposed to, I still have the navigation tool bar at the top of my page and the drop down boxes too (file, edit, view etc). Why is this an how can I get the proper new versions?

    When I updated firefox to 4.0 the only things that really changed were a couple of buttons and the position of the tabs, the blue navigation bar and the drop down menus for file etc didn't change at all.
    My computer also freezes when visiting certain websites with firefox, not Every time I visit but frequently. The websites are usually commonly visited websites (Gmail, stuff.co.nz) and don't do it when I am using internet explorer or another computer. This started when I downloaded the upgrade.
    I use a net-book with Windows XP.

    To get the new style UI you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
    If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

  • How do I get the ODBC driver for 8.05 Solaris?

    Hi,
    Where can I get the Oracle ODBC driver
    for 8.05 on Solaris? I'm trying to use the
    JDBC bridge, but can't find the drivers.
    Do you have a small example using the bridge?
    null

    I assume you want an ODBC driver to actually use on the Solaris
    box, not one that runs say on Windows and connects To Solaris...
    Intersolv (www.intersolv.com) has a data-direct set of drivers,
    and I believe they have one for Solaris.

  • How can I getting the system drives list?

    Hello again. I'd like to create a dropdown list with the computer's drives, so you can easily change from one to another without using a "selectDialog" File object. Is it possible?
    Thanks beforehand :)

    Its something I havn't tried.
    On a PC you might be able to use VB/VBS to get the file list, put them in an env so that you can read them from Javascript.
    Here is a bit of code found on the net.
    Set FileSystemObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set Drives = FileSystemObject.Drives
    For Each DiskDrive in Drives
    DriveLetter = DiskDrive.DriveLetter
    DriveType = DiskDrive.DriveType
    Select Case DriveType
    Case "0" DriveType = "Unknown type of drive"
    Case "1" DriveType = "Removable drive"
    Case "2" DriveType = "Fixed drive"
    Case "3" DriveType = "Network drive"
    Case "4" DriveType = "CD-ROM drive"
    Case "5" DriveType = "RAM Disk"
    End Select
    WScript.Echo "Drive " & DriveLetter & " is a " & DriveType
    Next
    Set Drives = nothing
    Set FileSystemObject = nothing

    All I get now is the apple icon when starting my computer why is that?
    Means the file system has become corrupted.  It could be because of a bad hd.  Hd's average life is five years.
    Getting a leopard disk is close enough. Has all g5 drivers.  you will miss bonus software that came with machine   ... could have been iLife & some Games, etc.   Not a biggie.
      Shutdown your machine.  Hold down the shift key.  Poweron.  Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
    is being checked.

    You need to get into single use mode.

    Basically, you hold down the command-s key then  powering on your machine. The command key has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar. On a PC keyboard, it will be the windows key, I think.  The boot up will take longer than normal.   The filesystem will be checked and repaired.

  • IMac stopped recognizing my Internet connection (ethernet) after announcing an IP address conflict (all of a sudden, after 6 years). How can I get the whole network settings part back to default and start over?

    I had no trouble getting on line until last week when a message came on that
    IP address 192.168.0.139
    was in use by
    04:0c:ce:54:c1:e5 
    DHCP Server 192.168.0.1
    Since that time, no matter if I plug it into one router or the other  (I use a router in my office to share the one ethernet cable that comes down the hall) it claims that the ethernet is working and it knows that it is connected to the Internet,but it cannot access the Internet. IT seems to be stuck in a cycle of navel-gazing, constantly focused on its own ethernet IP address.
    All I know how to do is operate the thing; we have no IT person here. A visitor set up our network for us a few years ago. Only the iMac has this problem; my PC laptops go online just fine. But all my work is on the iMac.

    First thing to try is renewing the DHCP lease.
    System Preferences > Network.
    Do you have a green dot next to Ethernet? If so, with ethernet selected in the left pane;
    Check the location is set to 'automatic'
    Check 'configure IPv4' is set to DHCP
    Click the 'Advanced' button
    Check that DHCP is selected in that window for IPv4
    Turn off IPv6 (gives a conflict on some routers)
    Click the button 'renew DHCP lease'
    That should persuade the router to give you a different IP.

  • I have 2 external hard drives, but can not view photos from 1 hard drive in LR5 now. I used this hard drive in LR5 before, but now it does not show up. How do I get the hard drive to show up in LR5?

    Any ideas on how to connect hard drive back into LR5?

    Hi:
    Let's see if I can help you, help me.    Operating system is OS X, version 10.8.5.
    The photos on hard drive (1) have never been removed from Lightroom (or have they?)They have not been removed from LR. 
    Could you explain why hard drive (1) stopped appearing in Lightroom, it must have been because you did something, otherwise the photos on hard drive (1) will still appear there.LR always worked great, until I had to upgrade my operating system to get LR5 to work.  Then it has been one problem after another. 
    So, once I ran into this problem and before we started to chat….I simply RE-imported all the photos from (1).  They came in fine, except none of their key words came along with them.  So my ability to find anything is "0".  It was bad enough to have to do the import all over, but the thought of having to re-tag 1000"s of images is overwhelming.
    Thanks for your patience.
