Trying to figure out how to clear out the spool area for my HP printer on my 2009 IMac?

HP advised that I should clear out the spool area for my printer. How do I do this?

Hi patricia m.
I'm sorry to hear that you are encountering difficulties in clearing the spool area for your printer. It is rather "windows-centric" language as Mike indicated. I believe that HP Support would have been referring to resetting your printing system and I have included a document on how to do that.
If you find after resetting your printing system that issue hasn't been corrected, please post some additional information and I would enjoy helping you resolve things. I would need to know what model/product number of HP Printer you have, the version of Mac you are running, how the printer is connected (wireless, USB) and the issue you have encountered.

I just bought a MAC and am trying to figure out the correct version

I just bought a MAC and am trying to figure out the correct version of LR4 to install on the Mac. Someone in support (LR) gave the link for the downloads, and I chose the LR4.4 (but, it said LR5---kind of confusing). I don't have a DVD drive, so I am not sure if this one will work. I have the LR icon that says Light Room 4.4 on the screen, but LR does not open when I click it.....????? How do I open this? Thanks!!!

I called my ISP to set it to Bridge mode and they said that they couldn't do that (Linksys help desk gave me instructions on the switch to Bridge mode). However, they then tried to upsell me their own wireless router for $79.99......
Can I make this change myself or do they need to do it from their end?
Thanks!

How to 'force in' the Depreciation Area for an Asset after it was created

Hi,
When I created an new asset under a new asset class, I forgot to set-up the depreciation area for that class. Now after I have saved/created the asset, I get this error : No depreciation areas have been defined for asset 1012500000-0. How do I 'force-in' the depreciation area now after it has been setup.

Trying to knock out the white areas, is there an "easy" way?

I created a graphic for a softball team that looks pretty traditional to how baseball/softball graphics generally look with the bold black lines and such. I have a lot of white areas which are suppose to be knocked out so the shirts color can show through. Currently, most of those white areas areas are white objects overtop of colored objects. I know how to knock them out of the colored objects using the pathfinder tool but this time, I just have soooo much! Its just twisting my mind trying to figure how to knock out of what layer and object and so on. I know to convert all the text and strokes to fills which helps a lot, but is there any quicker or easier way to have all those white objects knockout the colored ones? My brain is hurting with this one!

Generally speaking knockout (or KO) means no printing, or white. I think what you want is for the elements that are colored "White" or 0,0,0,0 or 255, 255, 255 (RGB) to change to [None]. You can select one object with the fill color White, then go to Select> Same Fill Color> and change them all to None. Another way to do this is to select all the White fills and change them to Overprint: Window> Attributes> Overprint Fill. You will need to go to View> Overprint Preview. Note some PDF viewers or rips might not accurately display or print overprinting White, so changing them to None is usually the better way. If you can post a screen shot of your work, we might be able to give you more suggestions.

Hi, John,
Not that you asked, but as you proabably know, analytic functions are much better at doing this kind of thing.
You may be amazed (as I continually am) by how simple and efficient these queries can be.
For example:
WITH     got_grp          AS
     SELECT     proj_id, proj_start, proj_end
     ,     proj_end - SUM (proj_end - proj_start) OVER (ORDER BY proj_start)     AS grp
     FROM     v
SELECT       ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY grp)     AS proj_grp
,       MIN (proj_start)                         AS proj_start
,       MAX (proj_end)               AS proj_end
FROM       got_grp
GROUP BY grp
ORDER BY proj_start
;Produces the results you want:
PROJ_GRP PROJ_START PROJ_END
         1 01-Jan-2005 05-Jan-2005
         2 06-Jan-2005 07-Jan-2005
         3 16-Jan-2005 20-Jan-2005
         4 21-Jan-2005 22-Jan-2005
         5 26-Jan-2005 30-Jan-2005This is problem is an example of Neighbor-Defined Groups . You want to GROUP BY something that has 5 distinct values, to get the 5 rows above, but there's nothing in the table itself that tells you to which group each row belongs. The groups are not defined by any column in hte table, but by relationships between rows. In this case, a row is in the same group as its neighbor (the row immediatly before or after it when sorted by proj_start or proj_end) if proj_end of the earlier row is the same as proj_start of the later row. That is, there is nothing about 03-Jan-2005 that says the row with proj_id=2 is in the first group, or even that it is in the same group with its neighbor, the row with proj_id=3. Only the relation between those rows, the fact that the earlier row has end_date=03-Jan-2005 and the later row has start_date=03-Jan-2003, that says these neighbors belong to the same group.
You're figuring out when a new group starts, and then counting how many groups have already started to see to which group each row belongs. That's a prefectly natural procedural way of approaching the problem. But SQL is not a procedural language, and sometimes another approach is much more efficient. In this case, as in many others, a Constant Difference defines the groups. The difference between proj_end (or proj_start, it doesn't matter in this case) and the total duratiojn of the rows up to that date determines a group. The actual value of that difference means nothing to you or anybody else, so I used ROW_NUMBER in the query above to map those distinct values into consecutive integers 1, 2, 3, ... which are a much simpler way to identify the groups.
Note that the query above only requires one pass through the table, and only requires one sub-query. It does not need a WITH clause; you could easily make got_grp an in-line view.
If you used analytic functions (LEAD or LAG) to compute flag, and then to compute proj_grp (COUNT or SUM), you would need two sub-queries, one for each analytic function, but you would still only need one pass through the table. Also, those sub-queries could be in-line views; yiou would not need to use a WITH clause.

Trying to figure out early termination fees for one of my phones.

Hey , Im looking at changing wireless providers in September of this year ( 2012 ) and although I have three phones comming up in Aug. ( the month before ) My wifes phone comes up on June 1 2013 and I am woundering how much it would cost me to terminate hers with the others in September 2012? It might be worth it to us to do it then since I would lose my unlimited data by updating my phone in September of this year and my wife really wants to go back to a smart phone ( misses her old one ) and I was looking to start another one up for a tablet my children wants to buy me for my birthday. Im looking into Sprint because of their Unlimited plans, I need them instead of some stupid " family plan " I would never use ( my kids will never get data plans on my dime ) and I really have a hard time with a company that no longer cares about customer service or care.
Anyways if I could get a dollar amount I would be greatfull. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Just need to download an earlier version of firefox, either 3.5 or 3.6 for vista operating system. How do I do this?

The fafsa.gov site does not currently support Firefox newer than version 3.6.x. That is their choice.
You can install Firefox Portable version to use only on that site and use your installed Firefox 5 for everything else. Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your Firefox 5.0.1 settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin drive.

58, and 68 being listened to/open ?
if any additional information is needed, it is the latest version or arch linux and fully updated as of this post.

68 is for BOOTP/DHCP. Why it needs so many open is beyond me - dhcpcd just has the one global 68 open for any amount of interfaces.
The other two ports don't look like anything network setup related should have open.
I would file a ticket with systemd upstream.

Hi gentleman,
you need the text of userid and username,I think you need add the namespace which contains tow parts:one is the wsdl defination namespace and the other is
the namespace which you defination just as bas:http://xml.netbeans.org /schema/BaseSchema.
by the way you can use the OSB XQuery expression which don't need to write the xpath,you can drag it from variable structrue.

Trying to figure out how to print four postcards per two-sided page.

I've been a Mac user for a little over a year, and I love it, but with this latest (2014, OS X) version of Pages, I cannot find out how to set up my document so it will print four, two-sided postcards. The only postcard templates are two per page, and it feels like I've gone to the end of the application and back trying to figure out the answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
:Danul

Just adding to Viking's reply.
The trick is to get the second page (the back) to print behind the first set (the front) when you feed the paper back into the printer or use the duplexing function, if your printer has that.
Desktop printers do not feed paper very accurately so it is hard to align the two. It will pay to test if there is a consistent error in positioning and move the 2nd set to allow for it.
Best to aim for the centre of your paper stock, so adjust the artwork to have the two samples head to head exactly in the centre of the page with a 10mm or 3/8th inch gap between them. You can do this using the Graphics Inspector to position them and rotate the top postcard 180°.
Step by step:
1. Group and rotate the top postcard 180°
2. Position it with 10mm or 3/8th inch gap above the 2nd postcard
3. Group the two postcards and centre the set on the page
4. Do the same to the back set
5. Print the front set
6. Tumble turn or rotate the paper (test for what works) and put back into the printer to print the back set
7. Test by printing simple boxes the right size and shape to see how they align. Move template on the page to allow for any errors the printer makes.
For a set of 4 follow above on a landscape page, with another pair next to this one.
8. If there is only one design for the postcard (1 front and one back) they can be on the same page, head to head (see above) and when you feed the paper back in the printer, the back should print behind the front and the front behind the back to make up two double sided postcards.
Simply test, using dummies to indicate paper direction, rectangles with F & B in the centre, and take note which direction, and side up needs to go into the printer for what result. Then keep that information handy by the printer, with step by steps to repeat them.

Trying to figure out time signature of a piece of music to recreate in GB

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to figure out the time signature of a particular piece of music, as I do a lot of work with this particular piece of music and I am attempting to migrate over to GarageBand on a Mac from FL Studio 6 on a PC.
This piece is the theme music to the British science fiction series Doctor Who, created in 1963 by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. This is a classic and timeless piece of music and I'm prone to doing quite a few recreations and remixes based on this theme.
Wikipedia is hosting a condensed version of the theme at the following URL:

I'm sorry about the strange slight pitch bending up and down... must be some kind of copyright thing. The real piece remains at a constant pitch. I would post mine but I'm sure that it's some kind of copyright violation.
From what I've read online, the original theme was done in a 4/4 time signature at 140 bpm. A good friend of mine insists that it's easier to do in a 4/3 time signature. In FL Studio back on the PC, I did everything in 4/4, but both 4/4 and 4/3 worked fine for me as far as easily laying out the bassline in simple "dum-de-dums" and "diddly-dums" but no matter what time signature and no matter how far I zoom in, I cannot get the correct note lengths for the bassline in GarageBand. I've tried 4/4, which is the most logical of the time signatures, but the notes never fit the correct "dum-de-dum" pattern timing-wise and I can't do a "diddly-dum" because it won't let me divide one section (bar? beat?) into three notes as is required for the "diddly" of the "diddly-dum." (I must sound like a madman referring to the bassline notes as "dum-de-dums" and "diddly-dums," but hey, it works for me.)
Anyway, if someone else could perhaps come in and tell me what I'm doing wrong or another way of configuring GarageBand so that I can put this bassline in properly, I would be most grateful to you!
Thanks so much,

Danny,
The theme to Doctor Who is in 12/8. In music theory, there's no such thing as a 12th note, the notation and nomenclature is all based on things being divisible by four. So for the diddly-dum feel to happen, you have to give the beat to a quarter note plus another eighth note -- we call it a dotted quarter note, and now you have three eighth notes per beat so you can go diddly. So, since you can't call the time signature 12/dotted quarter, you call it 12/8 and go faster. Make sense? Anyway, for GB's purposes, all you need to know is that you'll get that feel by choosing 12/8.

Trying to figure out cause of dropped connections...

Hello, I have an Airport Extreme (a few years old) working with a MacBook Pro.
I'm trying to figure out the cause of occasionally dropped connections. One interesting thing I noticed today was this: the wireless indicator on my MacBook pro (in the status bar) was off. Then, when I restarted the machine, it connected to my base station automatically.
Does this mean that the base station has been fine all along and that maybe the card is flaky?
The other piece of evidence I have is a MacBook running side by side with the MacBook pro, and once I saw the MBP connection drop while the MacBook's stayed intact.
But the base station itself is a few years old and of course wi-fi is always subject to interference (especially in high rise apartment buildings). I recently changed the channel from 1 to 4 and seem to have had better success.
My MBP connection has been fine using other hot spots (e.g. Starbucks).
Is it worth trying to replace the base station and seeing what happens?
