Upgrading printer firmware when already have wireless connection - change connection?

Instructions for almost any device, including HP Pro 8600 printer, is don't do firmware upgrades over wireless connections.  If the printers already set up as wireless, how do you change (easily) to USB or ethernet, do the upgrade, then change back to wireless?
Or no matter what, is it going to be one giant hassle to upgrade firmware, if you set the printer up as wireless? 
Firmware aside, I'm starting to regret I ever set it up wirelessly.  More trouble than it's worth.
Thanks.

It's pretty simple.  Just follow the instructions on how to connect your printer via USB and it will install.  Perform your upgrade.  Once done, disconnect the USB cable and connect wirelessly to your router.  I've done it, takes about 10 minutes.

    Questions:
    Is the app store looking to my hard drive for traces of aperture to determine whether it has been purchased or is it looking at some kind of purchase history within the app store?
    Is there anyway to wipe my hard drive clean of aperture files or wipe clean my app store purchase history so that i can start over?
    If none of this is possible, does anyone have a possible solution?
    If i were to redownload aperture (currently for free since it won't let me pay) when a subsequent update comes out (say it goes from version 3.2.2 to 3.2.3) can i then elect to buy aperture, pay the fee and will it appear as a purchased app and allow me to get upgrades going forward?  Would any data be compromised with this?
    1. Do you have a backup connected to your Mac that contains the app? If so, yes the MAS can detect that and believes that the app is installed.
    2. If the app no longer appears in the purchase history on the Purchased pane in the MAS, then it would seem that Apple has taken care of that.
    4. Updates, such as you describe are free. Upgrades are not. An upgrade is a new paid version of the app, such as v 3.0 to v 4.0.

    ok,
    At this little tutorial here:
    http://www.developer.com/tech/article.php/610011
    It says
    "The Document interface is the content model for Swing text components. Every Swing text component has an instance of Document associated with it. The Document contains both the content for its component as well as any style information for the rendering of the content. All content is stored in the Document's Element array. Style information is stored in each Element as an AttributeSet. We'll get into AttributeSets in the next article, when we discuss styled text components. "
    Mainly concentrating on :
    All content is stored in the Document's Element array. Style information is stored in each Element as an AttributeSet.
    This would indicate that each time a new attribute is applied to something that it is stored as a separate String in an array, along with the attribute relating to it, would it ?
    I've looked here:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JTextPane.html#getParagraphAttributes()
    And here :
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/text/Document.html
    But still cannot figure out a way to do this, I presume I must get at the Document 'array', and if I had this everything would be fine.
    Should I run through every single charactor in the 'editable' JTextPane, check its attribute and add it my my own special made class?, and pass this class to 'non-editable / viewable-only' JTextPane ?
    Any opinions would be very helpful.

  • When I upgrade to yosemite, when I have to send and receive mail is very slow

    When I upgrade to yosemite, when I have to send and receive mail is very slow. Mails take a long time to be send and receive, and the mail boxes disconnect frequently. I am using the yosemite mail server and don't have this issue with user with Maverick.
    Many Thanks

    So let me see if I understood it right... In Mavericks you didn't had this issue, this only happens in Yosemite and you are using Apple Mail, not another mail client. Have you tried in System Preferences > Internet Accounts unchecking and rechecking the email checkbox on your account?? If that doesn't works try deleting and adding your account.
    Sorry for the bad English

  • When I'm in Windows 7, I have wireless connection problems.

    So I have an interesting problem. When I'm in Windows, I'll be online and it'll be working fine, but then the connection will have a problem. It'll still have the bars showing a connection, but it'll say that there's no internet access. If I run troubleshooting, it fixes the problem and states that the issue was "Wirelss Network Connection does not have a valid IP configuration". After this, the problem doesn't come up again until I shut down the computer. After that, the problem happens again the next time I'm on.
    It only happens on the Windows side of the computer, and it only seems to happen with my home wireless connection. I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the drivers or something?
    Can someone help me out?
    Here's my mac model:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP583

    My Mac also does this when I'm running Windows 7 via Bootcamp. It did not do this when I was running the Windows 7 beta version. Clearly it is a Windows setting, or Windows has changed the meaning of its lid-close options.
    Mine is set to "Sleep" as the lid close action in power options. So either "Sleep" is now forcing a restart, or it was set to something other than sleep (Hibernate?) before.
    Also, most bizarrely to me, how long my computer is sleeping seems to affect whether it restarts. If I just close it and open it again, it works fine. If I close it and go to work, when I get back, it will go through the bootcamp restart.
    If anyone knows, I'd love to hear it.

  • HP C4780 won't print even though it's wireless connected to my laptop and home network.

    Help! I just moved and am trying to set up my Photosmart C4780 to my AT&T 2Wire router (my last router was Netgear and I had no problems with installation/setup).  I installed the printer and it seems to be connected to my laptop (OS is Windows 7 32-bit)and network but it just won't print (excel, word, internet page, etc.). I've run the network configuration scan, wireless network report, print diagnostic, and hardware diagnostic. Everything checks out but the test page print will not print. When I try to print some from Word, it gives me a pop up error box saying "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." I don't know what else to try!
    Thanks in advance!

  • FAQ Broken: How do I upgrade the firmware on a WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router?

    I tried to view the above question in the FAQ, but it goes to the answer for a different question.
    I then tried "How do I upgrade the firmware on my router?" a little further down,
    but it acts like I'm not authenticated, and won't accept my Linksys Forums e-mail address
    and password. When I try the password recovery, it says my e-mail address is invalid.
    Can someone please point me to instructions for upgrading the firmware on my WRT54G?
    Specifically, someone told me that the router needs to be listening on the default 192.168.1.1
    IP address, but mine is listening on 10.1.1.2. Do I need to change this just to flash new
    firmware, because that will be a little painful.
    Thanks,

    Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - "Default Gateway of Your Router"...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    **To Check the Default Gateway of the router...Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
    **To all the above setting using the wired computer.

  • Safari doesn't connect to the internet when on a wireless connection

    Safari with 10.4.8 can't connect to the internet when on a wireless network. Ok with hard connection. What is strange is I Chat and AIM work OK wireless as well as E-mail. In internet connect the Airport shows full strength. Its just Safari that is not connected.

    Power off the router. Wait awhile. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
    It will take a while.

  • How to set up a new apple e-mail address when already have an existing Apple ID

    Hello
    Thank you for taking a look at my query - I have searched many posts but not found a specific answer to my question - so please help!
    My dilemma:
    I am in effect running everything smoothly - I am already on iCloud and have an @me.com mail address.
    The problem arises in that I need to change my name (due to a divorce) and hence my e-mail address -  I would like to use my maiden name for obvious reasons!
    So what have I tried?:
    I have set up a new Apple ID using a 'hotmail' address, as you need an existing address to set an ID, but would actually like a new 'apple' address. How do I do this? Since I have registered all my devices (iMac, iPad 3 and iPhone 3GS) with iCloud already using my married name ID it seems I am unable to get another appleID? Is this true? Is there a way around this?
    Concerns:
    I have many communications with lawyers and ex and various other things I would like to keep on my existing apple ID/mail account (and also itunes etc) I still need to be able to access this information. I am happy to keep this  apple ID active at the same time as having the new ID if this is possible on all the same devices? Currently however I do not know how to do this, i.e. run two mail accounts through iCloud OR ideally transfer my info to the new ID - however from reading around I believe this latter (logical) option may be impossible?
    So:
    ... I need a knight (or maiden) in  shining armour to help me understand my options, answer the Q's above and provide the steps I have to follow to do this as I am no IT guru! And as there are many similar Qs without a clear answer I'm sure you will gain lots of points!
    Thanking you kindly in advance!
    PS. Apple if you are reading this please can you do something about this situation as there seem to be many questions around this issue. Unfortunately divorce and name changes are a frequent part of life these days and it would be good if you can accommodate this!

    OK, so I realised I was still within my 90days of being able to get support from Apple due to recent iPad3 purchase.
    So between what I have gleaned from this forum and what I have learnt from the support call here I hope is a comprehensive one stop shop  answer to the question... "How do I get another Apple e-mail address ?" It's not straight forward but bear with me as you will get a result (also if anyone with IT prowess can offer further advice or clarification please do reply to this so we keep all info in the same place)... right -  we shall begin:
    First a few points to bear in mind/wise words that I wish I was aware of before:
    You preferably do not want more than one Apple ID so that syncing etc is straight forward. SO create an e-mail address that you will be happy to have no matter what, whether you are married/divorced (and yes it unfortunately could happen...) etc...
    So...
    1. First go to www.myinfo.apple.com, change your country as required and click on manage your account. Log-in. Should go straight to your Name, ID and e-mail tab.
    2. OK you are now presented with one of two scenarios....
    a) If your AppleID and primary e-mail address  is a me.com (or mac.com) then you are unlikely to have an edit option next to this line - follow point 3. Another ID has to be generated, and unfortunately (as Winston Churchill above rightly pointed out, the problem that you will have on the whole is that any purchases you make from the iTunes Store under your previous account, will be inaccessible on many of your devices. - IF however all you wanted is a new e-mail address and you are happy to keep running your old ID at the same time - there is a way around this .... read on to point 3)
    b) If your AppleID and primary e-mail address is not a me.com (or mac.com) then - follow point 4. This is the better option to have, hop skip and jump with glee as you will in effect have the same ID account and syncing will not be an issue. But note that your new ID will not be editable going forward so head my words of wisdom above.
    NB. If you already have more than one ID and one of the 'Apple ID and primary e-mail' is editable i.e. 2b) then choose this option to change as it is simpiler to manage.
    3. OK lots of steps here and explanations:
    i) You need to create another Apple ID - there are two ways of doing this a) if you go to your iphone or ipad settings > iCloud > delete your account (Don't worry you are effectively only signing out and not deleting) (you'll be given an option what to do with your contacts) > The page will then give you an option to create a new Apple ID.... follow the steps, and you will get a new me.com  AppleID and primary e-mail address.
    b) If you do not have an iphone or ipad - use your computer: Go to sytem preferences > icloud > sign out of account (again you will be given an option to keep contacts on the computer etc. do what is appropriate for you). An iCloud window  should then pop up - and there is an option to 'Create an Apple ID'... follow the steps, in 2nd step (after date of birth input)  go for the free iCloud  option and do not use an existing e-mail address (e.g. hotmail or gmail)... as it then gets more complicated (I did go down this route as I didn't know any better - so I can explain if you wish to know - just ask) - continue with the steps and you will get a new me.com AppleID and primary e-mail address.
    ii) Now assuming you have an itunes account and other devices... and you will want to sync everything across devices... then ensure you log back into your OLD account and use this as your main  account on all devices. This will keep all things synced between devices with no problems.
    iii) To get your new e-mail account active go to all your devices and computer and just add the new me.com address as another account:
    a) on iphone and ipad: settings > mail, contacts, calendars > "add account"
    b) on computer assuming you use mail: Mail>preferences>account information> hit the '+' under the left hand account box and fill in the details... You will then effectively have two mail boxes running in mail - your previous and new one. What I have noticed is that you can drag and drop (which will copy) mailboxes you created in your old account into your new account - which is great as you can keep the stored messages to hand and effectively you can taper down use of the old account (or use as you wish) over time and eventually not notice the old account is in the background.
    Hey presto you have a new e-mail address AND your devices are syncing itunes, photostream etc...
    4) So - much better option....
    i) create a new Apple ID as per point 3i) above.
    ii) go back to www.myinfo.apple.com, change your country as required and click on manage your account. Log-in with old ID. Under Apple ID and primary e-mail adress - click edit and now insert your new me.com Apple ID. This will now be both your ID and primary e-mail address. This is where my knowledge (gleaned from this Forum) stops on this option - as unfortunately it did not apply to me. But I think it will get you where you want!
    Hope all this info helps rather than hinders!! It definitely would have helped me
    Enjoy.

  • HT1351 my itunes won't recognize my ipod in devices when I have it connected to my computer? How do I get it to sync? it is a ipod classic

    I have a ipod classic and my itunes will not recognize it under devices when I have it plugged into my computer. I have restored the ipod and itunes is up to date on my computer. I have not been able to get my music to sync onto this ipod. Thanks for the help

    If the iPod was not recognized by iTunes, how was the Restore performed?
    The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar.  This may be confusing to long-time iTunes users.  If you don't see the sidebar on the left side, go up to the menu bar.  Under Views, select Show Sidebar.
    With the sidebar visible, do you see the iPod under DEVICES?

  • I have wireless connection set up at work so when I get there it auto connects but today it says "Network Failure". I know it's not the network because the person that sits righ tnext to me is on it.

    It's not even giving me the prompt to sign into the network as it normally does.

    It may help to reset your network settings.  This action will erase network information only, such as Wi-Fi networks and passwords, and will not affect anything else on the phone, such as contacts and pictures.
    Settings > General > Reset Network Settings
    The phone will reset and you will need to enter your network password again to gain access.  Hope this works!

  • My iMac is printing duplexed documents on a wirelessly connected Epson printer extremely slowly (minutes), but prints fast from and IOS device using AirPrint.  Settings don't offer any help.  Can anyone advise, please?

    I have a one-year old (intel) iMac, now running on Mountain Lion.  I have a wireless network with an Epson Photo Stylus PX830FWD printer which has an auto-duplexer.  My problem is that when I print a two-sided document, the print takes minutes rather than seconds.  It prints at normal speed if I use the print facility on my iPad or iPhone (AirPrint), which suggests that the Mac settings are at fault.  I have been through all the settings on System Preferences that I can find, but nothing makes any difference.
    I didn't notice it prining at slow speed on Snow Leopard or Lion OSX!
    Any suggestions, please?

    I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
    She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
    Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
    The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
    Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
    Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
    If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
    One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

    On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
    I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.
