Totally confused about setting up printer

I am using an iMac G5 running OS X 10.3.9. I have an Airport Extreme base station and an HP Officejet 7210 All-in-One (printer/scanner/fax/copier). I somehow managed to get the Airport Extreme network up and running successfully. The iMac G5 is connected to the base station directly via the LAN port (since the iMac is not wireless) and the base station is connected to a cable modem via the WAN port. The network is being shared by a Windows based computer with a Linksys wi-fi card, and is working fine.
My printer is ethernet network-enabled (or so the store told me), but since there is only one LAN port on the base station, I am guessing that my only options are to either connect the printer to the USB port on the base station, to connect it to a USB port directly on the iMac, or to buy some kind of hub thingy that would let me connect more than one device to the LAN port on my base station. Is that right?
First, I tried to connect the printer to the USB port on the base station, but when I did this I was unable to even run the printer set up utility for the iMac because it couldn't find the printer (even though it shows up on the Airport Admin Utility when I go to Configure / USB Printer).
So then I connected the printer directly to the iMac and ran the printer set up utility, and once the utility had been run and the drivers installed, changed it back so that the printer was again connected to the base station. But once I did this, my computer was again unable to find the printer.
So what do I do now? If I have more than one option for setting up this network and connecting the printer, please let me know the pros and cons of each.
Thanks.

I have a similar setup. G4 connected to the Lan port and cable modem connected to the WAN port of the AP Extreme base station. Dell lap top with a DLink PCMCIA card.
The ethernet port on my printer required a card in the printer - expensive. I found the USB route worked fine.
Setup: You are looking for USB > HP in the pull down menu. A bonjour driver should appear. You do lose the abiltity to activate the printer utilites however.
Oh yest try turning the printer on and off to register the USB cable with the base station.
Because you have installed drivers via a direct connection already you may end up with two drivers in the printer list after searching. Check the get info to confirm the Bonjour driver which you want to keep and use.
I found Bonjour for Windows was a great utility for the Wirelss PC client. Only run Bonjour for Windows after setting up your printer to run via the base station /USB connection.

  • BE[Elect], MBA[SCM], 4 yrs Exp as BD. Totally confused about which SAP module

    Hello,
    Niranjan here from Mumbai. i am currently working as Lead member, Business development in engineering company for past 4+ years. Prior i have completed my BE from Mumbai university & MBA in supply change management.
    Now i am planning to have a shift to SAP. But confused about any specific module.
    On doing some ground work, found SD module of my use, but not sure about it.
    Also found CRM of my use on discussion with some of those working on field.
    Totally confused. ...
    Plz pour in your suggestions.
    thanks in advance.
    Niranjan Watve

    Hi Niranjan,
    As for my opinion, SAP CRM Sales exactly suits to you.  However, you have done Supply Chain Management you can also opt for SAP SD as well.
    But give a preference to SAP CRM Sales Instead of SAP SD.

  • Making the move to 16:9, but totally confused about what settings to use!

    Hi, It seems to me that since all new TV's being sold are wide-screen, it is time for me to stop making videos in 4:3. But I am completely stumped by the procedure to work in 16:9. I have shot my footage in standard definition, 16:9. The final product will be a DVD created in DVD Studio Pro. I would like the picture to fill a widescreen TV, and.... when played on a 4:3 screen, I would like it to fill the width of the screen and be letterboxed on top and bottom.
    I think that I am correct to capture this footage into Final Cut Express, using Easy Setup, and choosing 'Anamorphic'. At least that gives me a 16:9 screen in FCE.
    But can someone tell me what settings to use in DVDSP when I when I import that video? I tried to import Anamorphic video into DVDSP, and went to Preferences, and chose 16:9 Letterbox. I got a wide screen, but my footage came in as a squished 4:3 image. I'm totally at a loss, and would very much appreciate any help you can give.
    Thanks very much, Bob

    Yes, Anamorphic is the Easy Setup you'd want to use in FCE.
    When I say it's distorted, that means anamorphic is recorded to tape squished (much like how it imports into DVDSP for you) and that the format demands being unsqueezed during playback. Sorry, if I scared you.
    The encoding settings are also available in DVDSP's Preferences under the Encoding tab.
    Also - and this is the single most important element of this workflow - in addition to setting the default Display Mode to 16:9 Letterbox, be sure to confirm that this is not overridden (for whatever reason) after you've placed your clips onto a track. So check the Inspector and make sure Display mode is correct. (It's been known to happen once in a blue moon and, if not readjusted, will mean that your DVD will not display correctly on any proper setup)

  • Totally confused about "on" and "to"

    I program in several languages and have been reading up on Applescript for a full day in several references but I cannot figure why "to" is used in this example, what it means, or why not "on".  Since "to and "on" are both stopwords, I cannot search for this information.  Could someone provide a brief description of applicability and the distinction between the two.
    This example from the AppleScript Language Guide is the most confusing:
    script John
        property HowManyTimes : 0
        to sayHello to someone
            set HowManyTimes to HowManyTimes + 1
            return "Hello " & someone
        end sayHello
    end script

    From the Applescript Language Guide:
    Handler Syntax (Positional Parameters)
    A handler is a collection of statements that can be invoked by name. This section describes the syntax for handlers that use positional parameters.
    Syntax
    on | to handlerName ( [ userParamName [, userParamName ]...] ) [ statement ]...
    end [ handlerName ]
    Handler Syntax (Labeled Parameters)
    A handler is a collection of statements that can be invoked by name. This section describes the syntax for handlers that use labeled parameters.
    Labeled parameters are identified by their labels and can be listed in any order.
    Syntax
    ( on | to ) handlerName ¬
    [ [ of | in ] directParamName ] ¬
    [ ASLabel userParamName ]... ¬
    [ given userLabel:userParamName [, userLabel:userParamName ]...]
    [ statement ]... end [ handlerName ]
    Note the points I've highlighted in red.  You younguns probably don't know, but there's this pre-search tool called an "index" (pronounced ˈinˌdeks) In which one can find "page numbers" (those are kind of like links, though not as precise and requiring more physical action than a single mouse-click to follow). If you look up 'on handler parameter label' in the "index" and scroll backwards until that weird number they put at the bottom of every page matches the number given, you'll be amazed. 
    Hard to believe that the ancients could do something that sophisitcated, I know.  I mean seriously, these are people who painted symbols on sheets made out of pulped wood and wrapped them in animal hides for protection.  But there you have it.

  • Newbie confused about setting up E3200

    Bought E3200 today. Guy in store told me not to use install CD. He said just hook it up and my computer will direct me on what to do. I would like to know if he is right. Why would I not use the CD? I know almost nothing about routers and want the installation to go well. They fellow said that the install CD would just mess me up. I do know how the router should be wired up I just don't know anything about the rest of it. Need the true skinny!

    Well if you know how to make the physical connectivity between modem, router and computer then you can install the CD for the router E3200 with any problem. Basically the CD consist of Cisco Connect software which comes with the Linksys Wireless-N (E-Series) Routers and lets you manage your network easier. For the setup process, you need to perform the following:
    i. Verify that there is an active Internet connection between the computer and modem
    ii. Set up the router using Cisco Connect
    You can try installing the router with the help of the Cisco Connect software. Here is the link for installing the router: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&docid=e30f926604334d5386685...

  • What is DHCP? I'm still confused about setting up Airport Extreme

    I still unfortunately an confused by this:
    No problem. I certainly understand. Again the key is only the device directly connected to the modem should be configured to provide the PPPoE credentials ... and (again) if the G5 was configured to do so, it would now have to be the AEBSn. In turn, the G5 would need to be reconfigured for "Using DHCP."
    I don't know how to reconfigure my G5 and I'm afraid to do so. And, I don't know what DHCP is?
    What you were saying is that I have to configure my Airport Extreme to the same settings that are now on this G5 and change the G5 settings to DHCP.
    Sorry to be a bother. I just returned from a long trip and am getting ready to install the Airport Extreme. Would the software we simple enough for me to understand and just follow the instructions that Apple supplies?

    lucin wrote:

    Older DSL modem require that the device connected to them supply the PPPoE sign-on information. However, I've seen DSL modems that can store and supply PPPoE sign-on information so that the device connected to them doesn't need to.
    ... and (again) if the G5 was configured to do so, it would now have to be the AEBSn. In turn, the G5 would need to be reconfigured for "Using DHCP."
    I don't know how to reconfigure my G5
    Like you just stated: "Using DHCP".
    I don't know what DHCP is?
    DHCP is "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol". It's intended to provide an Internet client with all the information (IP address, etc.) that it needs.
    What you were saying is that I have to configure my Airport Extreme to the same settings that are now on this G5 and change the G5 settings to DHCP.
    Yes.
    Your post strikes me as a reply to another message that's not in this thread. If you intended to continue another discussion, you should have done a "reply" to a message in that discussion.

  • Totally confused about mixing videos with different field orders.

    I have PPcs5 on the pc.
    I edit for many different shooters. As such I get everything: Progressive, upper field , lower field . Not to mention from a zillion different cameras & different resolutions.
    I output 95% so far to dvd ntsc, 5% BR.
    I get dv tapes on some & HD files also.Many times I get a mixure of both on each job. Also Iphone HD files too. Going crazy trying to fiquer out how to set up my sequence when I have upper field  or progressive by themselves & also when they are mixed with lower field dv foot...Do I force everything into a lower field seq if going to dvd?
    Do I have to deinterlace anything?
    If I drag a clip to the new "create seq" icon, it will match the clips properties but is that correct if its a progressive only project or an Upper field project going out to dvd ntsc?
    Do I need to RT click on the clips in the project window & "interpet Footage" & force it into a lower field there 1st? Is there a difference between setting up a seq to be played on a progressive DVD player hdmi to a prog TV as apposed to setting up a seq for a non hdmi or non progressive tv?
    Does outputting to dvd automatically force it to lower field ?
    If my seq isnt set up correctly I notice a big interlace problem when the cams pan from side to side, especially when there are multiple cams with different field orders. Have been unable to find any good discussions or articles on the topic.
    How do you guys do it without going crazzzzzzzy?Are there rules? What are the rules? A rule book would really help:-)  I Yern for the old DVCAM/DV days:-)

    DV is always lower and HD is upper or progressive.
    As you are having all fields in one timeline i would make it progressive.
    Premiere does a good job in deinterlacing.
    Only use Interprete footage when the footage is interprete wrong.
    Set up a progressive timeline and drop everything in it. If a clip does not behave correctly you can change fields in the Field Options.
    Export from Premiere and import into Encore. That is what i would do......

  • Totally confused about product names/functionality

    The product "ZENWorks Desktop Management 7" includes functionality
    called
    "Asset Management"
    The product "ZENWorks Asset Management" is also a product about
    "collection information of devices and software".
    Now Novell introduced the product "ZENWorks Configuration Management"
    which is equipped with "Asset management services" in the enterprise
    edition.
    Dear Product managers of Novell - please describe the
    differences/similarities of these products in an understandable way so
    that we can answer the questions of our customers.
    current szenario: our customer is using "ZENWorks Desktop Management
    7".
    He wants to introduce "asset management" (the functionality of the
    "ZENWorks for Desktops" does not fulfull all requirements - especially
    the
    handling of software licences). So we decided to introduce the
    "ZENWorks
    Asset Management" prduct but then came "ZENWorks Change Management"
    and it
    seems that there could be two possibilities for our customer (if I
    interpret the products functionality right):
    a. forget "ZENWorks Configuration Management" and buy "ZENWorks Asset
    Management"
    b. Upgrade "ZENWorks Desktop Management" to the enterprise edition of
    "ZENWorks Configuration Mangagement" with promotion prize
    But in the case of b. there are some unanswered questions:
    - does "ZENWorks Configuration Management" have the same functionality
    as
    "ZENWorks Desktops Management" has? If not, why does there exist a
    migration path?
    - Are the "Asset management services" of "ZENWorks Configuration
    Management" the same product as "ZENWorks Asset Management" is just
    within
    another product?
    Which way to go? A or B?
    for any answer I thank you in advance

  • A bit confused about setting up two accounts in iTunes

    Dear Folks,
    I now have two iPads, which I (need to) have separate AppleID's for. I understand I can share apps between them if I authorize iTunes on my iMac with both ID's. I am not quite sure about the correct way to do that. I already have the iMac authorized for AppleID#1. If I go into iTunes and click on Store/Authorize this Computer... and enter my AppleID#2 information into Account name and Password boxes, does this authorize my iMac's iTunes for BOTH ID's or does it just change the authorization from ID#1 to ID#2?
    If the former is correct, I understand the way to proceed is to xync up both iPads to iTunes and then I can drag and drop apps from one iPad's library listings to the other, right?
    If this is not the correct way to get dual authorizations, what is?
    Thanks!
    pax / Ctein

    No, there are many discussions here that clearly state that is not the case.

  • Total confusion about iTunes.

    I am trying to transfer music from my PC to my iPad. I do not see the iTunes app on my iPad, only iTunes Store. Yet when I try to download iTunes to my iPad it seems to respond as if I already have it. When I connect my iPad to the laptop it says I need the latest version of iTunes. When I try to download iTunes it responds as if I already have it. Rinse and repeat.
    What is going on? And if I have iTunes on my iPad already, why can't I see it anywhere?

    No, I don't have that icon. Just the iTunes Store one. By the way, it's an iPad mini, if that makes a difference.
    I am trying to get iTunes on my iPad so I can transfer my existing iTunes music (which is on a Windows laptop) to it. If I just connect my iPad to the laptop (in the hope that iTunes already exists on the iPad even though I can't find it) I get an error message that says I need the latest version of iTunes (11.1 or something). If I then try to download iTunes in order to make sure I have the latest version nothing happens and it says on the screen that iTunes comes with the iPad already.
    So the problem is threefold, I guess. One, that I can't find iTunes on my iPad. Two, that I am being asked to download the latest version before I can sync. Three, that I can't download the latest version because the app seems to respond as though I already have it.But like I said in the question title... I'm basically confused. :-)

  • Frequent question, but total confusion about recei...

    Hello, I am using skype to go to contact my friend in Quebec Canada from Minnesota US.
    We both purchase subscription and i just wonder that if she or I call to each other, does receiver gets fee for the call? Because i get same number she called me even though she's using skype to go number, i get little concern that i might have long distance fee.
    i know it is frequent question, but we had a a lot of fee for international call before we try skype to go.
    So, to be simple, does the receiver get long distance fee from another if operator used skype to go??

    Hello,
    No. There is no such thing as a "long distance" call with Skype. All Skype calls are "local" worldwide.
    TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
    If my advice helped to fix your issue please mark it as a solution to help others.

  • I am so confused about iCloud.  My husband says he never set it up but all is information is on both his iPad and iPhone.  How can that be and do I have to have iTunes Match?

    I am so confused about iCloud.  My husband says he never set it up but all is information is on both his iPad and iPhone.  How can that be and do I have to have iTunes Match?

    "All his information" may or may not include things customarily stored in iCloud.  Perhaps all the information is on both devices because they were both recently synced using the same iTunes sync.
    Do you have to have iTunes Match?  No.  Many folks do not have iTunes Match.  The music purchased from iTunes is always available to the purchaser.  Other music is stored in iTunes on the person's computer.

    I reading confusing things about exporting a PDF for printing with both color and black and white images used in the same document.
    If I export to PDF and do a soft-proof and it looks okay, is that sufficient? If so, what's confusing about that, since this is my first print project, which Simulation Profile do I use? Is there a chart somewhere that compares U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 to let's say 80 lb Gloss book with Aqueous coating (C2S)?
    I don't know what any of this means. So, is there a good article on this site, elsewhere, or an online printer who can help a rookie like me ensure I end up with a decent product?

    InDesign puts grayscale and B&W (bitmap mode) art on the Black plate, where it belongs, so if you soft proof using the CMYK profile for your expected output conditions your preview will be accurate for the grayscale and B&W images as they will appear in print. presuming your monitor is calibrated and profiled so that you can trust what you see.
    Aqueous coating is applied AFTER the printing to protect, and possible enhance the glossiness of, the page (but not all coatings are glossy). This is not the same thing as printing on coated paper, which has a glossy surface and high ink holdout (and improves detail reproduction and usually will geive better color). You should be using whatever profile the printer has specified.

Maybe you are looking for
