Upgrading from Sol 10 to Sol 10?

Some things on my system got screwed up due to lack of disk space (ie - can't get X to start anymore). Can I just reinstall it and choose the "Upgrade" option, then use smpatch to get it up to date again?
TIA :)

It should work :-) You might get problems if some of the packages on CD/jumpstart are older than the ones on your system, but i think it should work.
It might be safer to do a upgrade to a new HW release, but the next one isn't out yet ..

  • Upgrade from Sol 10 to 10 1/06

    I have never checked this: when doing an upgrade (from Sol 10 to 10 1/06, in this case), is much extra disk space required beyond that needed for any new packages that are chosen for installation? I've got 2 4GB drives in my U60, with 161MB free on / (slice 0, 50% used) and 1.8GB free on /usr (different disk, 50% used). I can't afford to mess with the hardware just now, and also can't afford to have the OS screwed up by having the upgrade process go awry.
    Also, is Web Start the only installation option now? I tried booting from the second CD but that did not work...these are not Sun-supplied CD's, but were burned by someone else; the Web Start install/upgrade seems to work fine, though, at least up to the point where I've selected to upgrade and customized the set of packages for install/upgrade (at which point I cancel, due to my question above).
    Many thanks!

  • Upgrade from Solaris 8 (5.8) to 5.10 fails

    Hi everyone...
    Here is a curly one for the Sun gurus.
    I attempted to perform the upgrade from Sol 8 (Dec/02) to Sol 10 (from the CD/DVD Jan/06) and got all the way past the "Test Upgrade Profile". The initialize started after I clicked onto the gui "Install Now" button. However, it fails after an hour or so - each an every time.
    We have the 4.2.1 DiskSuite defined on a 3310 disk array and well as the 2 system disks - which are striped and mirrored. I can not do a Live Upgrade as I don't have a spare disk, so Sun Support in India suggested I do the upgrade in place...but is crashs attempting to copy files from the CD to the Server, as well as , so other strange error messages?
    The first attempt was to leave vfstab untouched, the 2nd was to comment out the disk array (D30, D31, & D32) devices. But both fail. The install logs will be uploaded.
    vfstab:

    But the upgrade just fails. I would like to keep the disk array and its data intact for the upgrade as it has Oracle 11i Apps databases and its a bit of work redefining the metastat and loading Oracle, and the other bits it needs, as well as Netbackup etc.
    So, are there are any bright sparks out there that can help?

  • Upgrading from Solaris 7 to Solaris 8 on an Ultra 60

    I am currently investigating upgrading an Ultra 60 machine from Solaris 7 to Solaris 8. I would like to save the data on the machine, if possible. Is there any way to do this? The only thing that I can find is downloads to get the entire Solaris 8 on three CDs, and it doesn't sound like it would save the data on the disk. (Though I don't know - this is the first time that I am upgrading from 7 to 8.) Any links of answers would be greatly appriciated.
    Thanks!

    You're talking about 2 different things.
    1. Downloading and "burning" CD images
    2. Upgrading from Sol 7 to Sol 8.
    Once you have successfully downloaded, burned and tested your CD's then you can use them to Upgrade your system. You do not need to download or burn the Installation CD. You only need CD 1 of 2 and 2 of 2. You should probably test these CD's with an Initial Install on a system you don't care about.
    Once the CD's have been tested then you can use them to Upgrade. You should see the option of Initial Install or Upgrade after you have answered all the sysid questions. Please note that you should not even think about an Upgrade unless you have done a level 0 ufsdump of your entire boot disk to a local tape drive. You may need it in case you have to resize your partitions if Solaris 8 doesn't fit into your existing filesystems.

  • Upgrade from 4.6C to ERP6.0 EHP4 NW7.01 fails on EHP_INCLUSION

    Hello dear friends at SDN forums,
    We are performing an upgrade from a 4.6C Non Unicode source release to a SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 based on NW 7 EHP1 Non Unicode.
    Every phase has gone more or less fine until the current phase EHP_INCLUSION in SAP EHPI tool.
    We are trying to specify the stack file manually, cosu00B4  SAP EHPI does not find it automatically via RFC against Solution Manager. I donu00B4t discard a possible missconfiguration in the RFC destination "BACK" configuration (the one that points from our target system to the Solution Manager), but thatu00B4s another story.
    Anyway, that shoulnu00B4t be relevant for the trouble Iu00B4m expressing.
    As we are on source release 4.6C  I must make use of the .txt stack file and not the .xml file, as per SAP notes.
    The symptom: everytime I retry that EHP_INCLUSION phase, it complaints about "Sever errors detected. Error Code = -1. Reason: The stack configuration does not contain a product stack".
    Iu00B4ll also paste here the contents of the EHP_INCLUSION.log trace file:

    That file was generated from Solman Mopz, was saved with a short path name just in case it could be problematic.
    The Solman is on version NW 7 EHP1. Our 4.6C SPAM version is 50 (the latest available).
    Iu00B4ve been fighting this issue for several days unsuccessfully, and it seems like thereu00B4s no documentation on it.
    Iu00B4ve re-read SAP notes , master, EHP and upgrade guides several times, and also similar problems (but not exactly the same as mine) here at SDN forums.
    Besides, now Iu00B4m having a problem to create customer messages to OSS which will last a few days (due an issue with our old installation number in SAP Service Marketplace). Thatu00B4s why Iu00B4m trying to obtain support from this forum, before we can obtain a response from SAP OSS.
    Has anybody experienced something similar?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Javier

    Hi FDK,
    As far as I´m concerned, I promise I will write how we solved it when we get it.
    The news are: at last we could create a customer message to SAP Support, and SAP has told us to:
    1) Ensure that our Solution Manager is in a sufficiently high SP Stack level. In our case, as we have a Sol. Manager based on NW 7 EHP 1 with SP Stack level 20, they are asking us to apply SP Stack level 22 as first meassure.
    2) In case we cannot afford to do the mentioned meassure immediately, then they suggest us another possibly working option: to downgrade our SPAM 4.6C from level 50 to 48. There is a SAP Note that explains how a reimport of a Support Package for SPAM can be done (and it seems like it´s even possible to downgrade the SPAM level, I didn´t know that):
    SAP Note 684564: Re-importing a SPAM/SAINT update
    So, now we are working on these suggestions. As the Solution Manager is really not "ours", but belongs to our SAP VAR (partner), we need to wait until they can schedule this technical task.
    So, right now the immediate task I´m trying to perform is downgrading our  SPAM 4.6C from level 50 to 48.
    But, I have a problem and have just let know it to SAP in the customer message: I have no way to get such level 48 of SPAM 46C. SAP always only hosts the last (or the 2 most recent as much) version of SPAM in the Software Download Center of SAP Service Marketplace. Thus, right now if you navigate in SAP Service Marketplace you´ll only find the 50 level version of SPAM 4.6C. I´m again waiting for SAP ´s response concerning this.
    Best regards,
    Javier

  • Upgrading from TCS 2.0 to TCS v. 2.5 - Know What You're Getting!!!

    I'm not the type to normally write in forums but I just went through 2 days of customer service and technical support hell and thought I would share the experience with the sole motivation being to spare fellow TCS users the aggravation and make you aware of a possible disconnect between sales and technical support - know what you`re getting!!
    Yesterday I purchased the upgrade from TCS 2.0 to TCS 2.5 from the Adobe online store as an electronic download. After receiving a confirmation email I logged into my Adobe account and noted that the download page contained 2 serial numbers, one for Photoshop CS5, one for Captivate 5 and then a zip folder for UPDATES only to Framemaker and Robohelp and also 2 language packs for text-to-speech for Captivate 5. Obviously I was missing links to Framemaker, Robohelp and Acrobat.
    The goal of my purchase was to procure an additional licence in order to install TCS v 2.5 on 2 additional computers so, I had a sick feeling that I may have misunderstood what was offered in the upgrade; I then had the following conversation with Adobe`s Chat Live Now (excerpted from transcript):
    Me: Hi. I just  purchased the upgrade from TCS 2.0 to TCS 2.5. My expectation was that  this contained all programs within the suite yet on my downloads the  only programs that are listed are Photoshop CS5 and Captivate 5. Does  this upgrade package not include the ability to install Framemaker,  Robohelp and Acrobat. I purchased on the assumption that the upgrade  would constitute an additional licence for these products as well. Was I  wrong?
    Perkins: ...TCS includes all programs, you need to select those programs while installing.
    Me: Okay, I'm just  downloading it now so I will confirm that it does, in fact, include all  of the programs. So just to clarify, my original understanding was  correct and the upgrade provides me with 2 additional licences for TCS?
    Perkins: Yes. You can install 1 copy of the software on 2 computers with same Operating System.
    Okay - fair enough, I then re-visited the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2.5 web page under Upgrade--Reasons to Upgrade where it states:
    ``Work with full new versions of Adobe professional tools for technical  communicators and help authors, including Adobe® FrameMaker® 9, Adobe  RoboHelp® 8, Adobe® Captivate® 5, Adobe Acrobat® 9 Pro Extended, and  Adobe Photoshop® CS5 software``.
    Now to me, FULL means full versions. I subsequently entered customer service hell and spent an hour and a half on the phone being transferred through 5 different people, none of whom were familiar with the contents of the Technical Communication Suite. It took forever jsut to get them to understand that I weas upgrading from TCS version 2.0 and NOT trying to upgrade from Photoshop CS4 and Captivate 4 directly. Eventually my question as to whether I was entitled to an additional licence for Framemaker, Robohelp and Acrobat Pro Extended was elevated to Tier 2 and I was told I would be contacted by Adobe. Today I received a voicemail and email stating that I should install Framemaker, Robohelp and Acrobat Pro Extended from my original TCS v 2.0 installer. I subsequently did so (successfully) and then installed Captivate 5 without issue.
    The next challenge arose with Photshop CS5 - the serial number, according to the installer, was invalid. Back to customer support who referred me to technical support - turns out the download link on my Adobe account download page was for a Chinese language-only version of Photoshop Extended which doesn`t even come with TCS 2.5! So, another 90 minutes on the phone throughout which I keep seeking clarification, does TCS 2.5 grant me an additional licence for Framemaker 9, Robohelp 8 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended...
    Technical Service states they can send me a physical disc with installers for Photoshop CS 5 and Captivate 5 and then CONFIRMED that I am NOT entitled to any additional licences for Framemaker, Robohelp or Acrobat, I am ONLY entitled to the 2 installs under the original TCS version 2 licence. This of course runs completely contrary to the literature on the website and my conversation with Live Chat Now. In disgust, I have submitted a refund request.
    Just for kicks I decided to again try to clarify with Live Chat Now what products that I, as a customer, receive a licence for by purchasing the upgrade to TCS v 2.5 and have pasted the transcript of that chat as follows;
    Me: Can you please  confirm for me whether upgrading from the Adobe Technical Communication  Suite version 2.0 to version 2.5 entitles me to 1 additional licence for ALL of the applications that constitute the Technical Communication  Suite (i.e. Robohelp, Acrobat, Framemaker, Captivate, Photoshop and  Presenter) OR does it merely entitle me to 1 licence to install  Photoshop CS5 and Captivate 5 in conjunction with my pre-existing TCS  2.0 installation?
    Morph: Give me a minute, I&#146;m reading it.
    Me: sure
    Morph: When you place the order for upgrade, you will get new products.
    Me: I understand that I will get Photoshop CS5 and Captivate 5 BUT do I also get Framemaker, Acrobat and Robohelp?
    Morph: Adpbe eLearning  Suite  2 includes: Adobe Captivate 5, Flash Professional CS5,  Dreamweaver CS5, Photoshop CS5 Extended, Acrobat 9 Pro, Adobe Presenter 7  (Available only on Windows platform), Soundbooth CS5.
    Morph: No.
    Morph: Only Acrobat is Included.
    Me: I am not talking about the e-Learning Suite, I am referring to the Technical Communication Suite
    Morph: Oh okay, got you, first tell me, using which product you will be upgrading this from?
    Me: TCS 2.0
    Morph: Okay.
    Morph: Yes, if you do this  upgrade you will get Adobe FrameMaker 9, RoboHelp 8, Adobe Captivate 5,  Photoshop CS5, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, and Adobe Presenter 7
    Me: so this will  entitle me to 1 additional licence for all of these applications, over  and above the licence I already own for the TCS version 2?
    Morph: Correct, however,  you may also be installing the software (Upgrade version) directly  without uninstalling the previous version of the software.
    Me: So just to  clarify, if I purchase the upgrade and decide that I want to install on a  completely different machine than the two computers that already have  TCS version 2.0 installed (as entitled by my licence) then I will be  able to, in effect, install the TCS 2.5 onto two completely different  computers (as per the Adobe licence) so that, at the end of the day, I  can actually have FOUR computers with TCS installed by virtue of the 2  licences that I should have - one from TCS version 2.0 and 1 licence  from TCS version 2.5É
    Morph: Purchasing the  &#147;upgrade&#148; version product is nothing but a &#147;full&#148; version, but if you do  not have the serial key for older version you can&#146;t Install the  upgrade, but for full version you do no need previous version serial  number.
    Morph: Correct.
    Morph: You can simply purchase your upgrade and verify that you have the qualifying older product during the installation process.
    Morph: If it's installed on  your computer, the Adobe installer will either find it or prompt you to  help it find the software for verification.
    Morph: If it's not installed, you will be prompted to enter the qualifying serial number for the older version.
    Me: Is the download file one individual installer or an installer for each application
    Morph: It is one Indiviidual Installer.
    Morph: When you download it will automatically Install every program in the Suite one-by-one.
    Me: Okay, the reason I  have been asking is that yesterday I made this purchase yet my download  page had links only to Photoshop (a Chinese language only version of  Photoshop Extended which does not come with the Suite) and Captivate.  There was no link whatsoever for the other applications. I went through  customer service and technical support and no one, and I mean no one,  could answer the questions I`ve asked you. According to customer support  and the serialization team, the upgrade to v. 2.5 DOES NOT include  Framemaker, Robohelp and Acrobat. As a consumer I have absolutely no  idea what is right and what is wrong. How am I supposed to make an  informed purchase...
    Morph: did you check on the link and confirmed that it does not Include the upgrade to version 2.5?
    Me: Sorry - not clear what you mean, my receipt from the Adobe store was for TCS v 2.5
    Morph: Like I said  upgrade for the Technical communicate suite Includes Adobe FrameMaker 9,  RoboHelp 8, Adobe Captivate 5, Photoshop CS5, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended,  and Adobe Presenter 7, and you should be getting all as a single  download link, seems like you are not able to make it with the link to  Install Individual products altogether, so you need to contact our  Customer Service at 800-833-6687. for the
    Morph: precise Info.
    Me: I went through  that route yesterday and today and they told me that the upgrade DOES  NOT include the other applications. As well, I noticed that the download  file size for the upgrade is 1 half the size of the full version -  obviously something is missing
    Me: The information you are telling me is the precise opposite of what they told me. How do I, as a consumer, get the proper answer
    Morph: upgrade do Includes the product I have mentioned above.
    Me: I know you`re  trying to assist but I`m flummoxed - my case was escalated to Tier 2 and  they told me it doesn`t include the other applications
    Morph: up to some  extent i can help being a sales team member, ant only customer people  generate the links and have access to customer account to check what  really went wrong.
    Me: Is it possible to  have a senior sales rep contact me - this matter of a `simple` upgrade  has consumed a ridiculous amount of time. As far as my issue - Adobe  tells me nothing was wrong and that the upgrade is only a licence for  Photoshop and Captivate
    Morph: Okay,Just a minute.
    Morph: You can contact our Sales Team on 1-800-585-0774.
    So, at the end of the day, sales tells me that upgrading to v 2.5 grants me an additional licence for ALL applications in the suite whereas Adobe`s own technical support has told me this is not true. Again I ask, how does a consumer make an informed choice...
    I`ve been buying Adobe software for both Mac and PC since Creative Suite 2 came out and this has absolutely been the most frustrating experience I have ever had. I get great use out of the Techncial Communication Suite and thought it would be nice to have an additional licence but at the end of the day I have decided it certainly was not worth the hassle - particularly when Adobe itself can`t figure out what I am entitled to!!
    I am a fan of Adobe`s software but honestly, is business that good that you can treat your customers this way????

    Hi. I suspect that may indeed be the case. If so, that's fine but nowhere is it clearly articulated what a user gains by purchasing the upgrade (and I am specifically referring to an upgrade from TCS version 2 to v 2.5) and certainly sales (as evidenced by my chat transcripts where I believe I asked quite specific questions) are advising customers that you will, in fact, gain an additional licence to ALL components of the TCS by upgrading.
    If it had been clearly articulated on the Adobe TCS 2.5 website that an upgrade from TCS version 2 only entitles users to install Photoshop CS5 and Captivate 5 in conjunction with the existing installation of the other components of TCS 2 - or - better yet, stated clearly that the upgrade from version 2 to 2.5 does not entitle the end-user to an additional licence for Acrobat Pro Extended, Framemaker, Robohelp and Presenter 7 then that would allow me, as a consumer, to make an informed decision whether to make the purchase. Since that is not the case, and Adobe's sales representatives are clearly advising customers otherwise, I felt compelled to post this so others don't waste their time as I did trying to sort it out. At one point I was advised that I should use my existing TCS version 2 installer to install Acrobat etc but received contradictory answers as to whether I was entitled to an additional licence for these products. At no time during my first hour and forty-five minute conversation, my second ninety minute conversation nor my third, and last, twenty minute conversation was anyone able to clearly articulate what you have stated - and - that still leaves the fact that the text on Adobe's website is misleading.
    BTW - why I received a download link from Adobe for a Chinese-language-only version of Photoshop CS5 Extended is still a mystery
    At the end of the day, I think the TCS (while not perfect) is a very useful tool and I will, in all probability, upgrade to the full version of TCS 3 which will, no doubt, constitute a full licence for all components of the suite. I am not attributing malicious intent to the Adobe employees, but I am saying that they themselves seem confused about what is included in the upgrade and provided contradictory statements. If Adobe employees can't provide a straight, cut-to-the-chase answer about what seems a straightforward question then that certainly creates unnecessary confusion for the customer.

  • Upgrading from 10.2 to at least 10.3.9

    Hi, does anyone know how to upgrade from 10.2 on a G3 imac to at least 10.3.9 and where to go?
    We just bought a printer for it, and the requirements are OS 10.3.9 or 10.4.x or 10.5.x. Any help would be appreciated, thank you

    1. Check that your iMac meets the requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2176.
    If no, you are sol. Else,
    2. Verify the the firmware update has been done:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1395.
    If no, do it. Then,
    3. Find a full retail version - not something bundled with another Mac - of OS 10.3 (any version), and install it.
    4. Do a Software Update to bring the installed 10.3 to whatever version you want.
    The requirements for 10.4 are here:

  • How can I upgrade from Lion OS X to Mountain Lion OS X

    Hi my question is "How can I upgrade from Lion OS X to Mountain Lion OS X?"
    I don't want to lose any data from my current Lion OS X, at the same time I don't have enough external HDD to backup. I tried to do the same was as http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/ says but I didn't get Mountain Lion OS X as an option for update.
    Pleade advice,
    Mustafa

    Well, right.  In 99.99% of cases you shouldn't lose any data.
    But if something goes wrong, well, if you don't have a backup you're SOL.
    You truly don't have ANY drive that you're using for Time Machine?
    FYI: It's not a matter of IF, but WHEN, your hard drive will fail.  It will eventually happen, so you should have a backup, unless you don't have any data you care about.

  • Is there an upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to CS6.

    I would like to upgrade from CS4 to CS 6, but as a retired amature photographer I am not willing to pay 19.99 a month for the cloud or the price for a purchase.  The only upgrade price I can find is from CS5

    It is true. But there is no "price lock" guarantee past one year.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/creativelayer/introducing-the-photoshop-photography-program/
    From Adobe:
    To be clear, $9.99 is not an introductory price. It is the price for those of you who sign up by December 31, 2013.
    edit:
    Reading more of the fine print, I see that this offer only applies to owners of commercial license of stand-alone PS CS3 or higher. If you own Photoshop  as part of a Creative Suite or an academic version, you are SOL.
    Bad Adobe, bad. You almost had me  signing up to your Cloud....

    Hello Kumar9,
    if I understoon correctly your last reply, you have doubts if PSAPPRD640 should exist at all, correct?
    Please do the following:
    1) Check any object assigned to this tablespace PSAPPRD640
    2) If any object occupied to PSAPPRD640 then reorganise to new tablespace
      If any object not occupied to PSAPPRD640 then check the table entry
       a)TAORA for tablespace PSAPPRD640(if exist delete)
       b)IAORA for tablespace PSAPPRD640(if exist delete)
    3) If above done then drop the tablespace through BRTools.
    Best regards,
    Tomas Black

  • Is it really possible to upgrade from a Treo 650 to a Treo 750?

    I am not a very happy customer at the moment, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I upgraded from my old Palm Tungsten to a Zire, then to a Cingular Treo 650, combining three devices into one. I have since discovered that the Treo 650 seems to have a faulty transmission mode, as I can rarely be clearly understood by whomever I call. Am on the second (or third, I have lost track) and continue to have the same problem. I get five bars of reception but can't be understood on the other end. A bit of a problem when one is trying to call 911. Am constantly told I am "breaking up". The repair shop says it "Can't duplicate the problem". OK, then I do not want to give up all the info I have stored in the fool thing, and the 750 seems to have a different system, so I thought I would try that. All the stuff I could find seemed to indicate it wouldn't be a problem to upgrade. When the 750 arrived, I tried to install the software from the CD on my Windows XP computer. No dice. Setup encounters an error and closes. Can't even look at the files, because setup tries to run any time I access the CD. From any drive.  Gave it to my girlfiend to check on her computer, and the CD seemed to run fine. Other CDs work just fine on my computer. Must be some kind of conflict, but what? Tried calling the AT&T number that suggested they could help with setup, and was first connected to the business center, they routed me to the laptop center, who routed me to the network center, who said they would have to bring in the Palm customer service and connected me to a Mac guy that dumped me back to a menu that took me to someone for whom English is a second language with whom I was trying to communicate over a very poor satellite connection. They made no sense anyway. telling me first that I couldn't have two desktops running (wrong, my girlfriend has my old Zire and the CD worked fine) and then insisting that the serial number on my device had to start with a P, when it clearly does not have any alpha characters in it. Gave up on that route of assistance. Managed to get the new ActiveSync installed from my girlfriends computer over the network. Great. Now let's get my 650 synced with Outlook (which I have not used at home) and see if we can move on. Nope. First I have to update Outlook 2000 from the old Win98 to my current XP. Find the old CD, and square that away. OK, now sync to Outlook. Nope. The sync program gives an error, saying it will only sync with Outlook 98, 2000, and XP(2002). Good grief. I have Outlook 2000, and the software apparently does not recognize it. If the Palm doesn't work, there is no reason for me to keep this phone, and I am very close to returning it and abandoning the Palm entirely when I upgrade to something that works, although I dread re-entering all that information.

    Thanks for the feedback. Today I installed an Enterprise version of Office 2007 I purchased a while back, but had not yet installed. Microsoft presented a few challenges, but they were quickly resolved. I then downloaded the appropriate conduit from Palm, and synced the 650 with the handheld overwriting the computer. Then used Active Destop to sync the 750. Satisfied I had moved as much info as possible, I called AT&T and had them move the phone number to the new Treo.
    Bonus! When the guy at AT&T called me on the new phone to verify it, he said it sounded better than my landline.
    Sorry for the streaming paragraph. When it is late I tend to write like I think.

  • I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers.  Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

    I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine.  Yesterday I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion.  Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?  

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

  • Can't print from IE 8 after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7

    My laptop (HP Elitebook 8530w) uses two HP printers: Color LaserJet CP3525x (at work) and Deskjet 6940 (at home). Both printers are accessed across a local network.
    I recently upgraded from Vista Enterprise to Windows 7 Enterprise.
    Everything still prints fine (from Word, Adobe Reader, Windows Photo Viewer, etc.), except for IE 8! When I try to print a web page from IE, it prints only the page header, and otherwise the sheet is empty. This symptom occurs on both printers. (And of course this worked fine before the upgrade.)
    Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

    If anyone else is having this problem, I found the solution on another forum (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/920588e5-ccc4-4e24-83d6-606...).
    Specifically, the following steps solved the problem:
    1. If it doesn't already exist, create a directory named "Low" in your directory "C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\".
    2. From a command prompt, issue this command:  ICACLS C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\Low /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low
