Using my US purchased printer in Europe ... ?

Hello all-
I have a HP Color Laserjet CP2025n that I bought a while back, and it works great. So much so that I elected to take it with me when I moved to Spain this past summer. Before moving, I checked on the HP website and noticed that the specs claim this model will work with both 110 and 220v power sources. (See specs here: http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/printer/LaserJet/1/storefronts/CB494A%2523ABA - Select the "Specs" tab and then scroll down the page and select "PDF Version of all Specs".)
However, I am here now trying to hook up the printer and getting nowhere. Won't even power up, and the back of the printer itself only says that it will handle 120-127v of power. Did I just get hoodwinked? Is there some kind of switch I need to flip to make this work?
Welcome any responses...

Bumping this thread up and hoping that one of the HP Experts will take a look.
After a bunch more investigation, I discovered that HP printers like my LJ CP2025n are not 110 - 240v compatible. Instead, there is a US model that runs on the 110 - 120v range, and a seperate Europen model that runs on the 200 -240v. So for someone like myself that has just moved from the States to Europe, it's frustrating that I have to buy either a voltage converter or a new printer.
As a technologist, I would be interested to know why HP can't just make their printers 110 - 240v compatible to buffer for this problem, or at least provide a physical switch to alter the voltage handling like a lot of desktop computers (Dell) have. I mean, if Apple can make their smallest iPod adapters 110 - 240v compatible, then what is the technological barrier to making a printer work the same way?

US purchased extreme in Europe?

Just bought Airport Extreme and while using the AirPort Utility to set it up noticed that countries listed are exclusively American ones. This got me a bit worried about the settings of these devices, is their something that will prevent use of US purchased Extreme in Europe? This did not even come to my mind when I bought it. Thanks in advance for all replies.

Base Stations designed for use in North America transmit channels 1-11. In Europe, they use channels 1-13. If you take one designed for use in North America, to Europe, you won't have a problem because all wireless computers designed for the European market will be able to "see" all channels it is capable of transmitting.

Using US purchased printer in the United Kingdom

Is it possible to use a US purchased HP printer in the United Kingdom, with the purchase of a UK suitable power lead?

Maybe... Is this a laser printer or an inkjet? What model? If it is a laser printer then the fuser and other internal parts are likely set to run at 120V and will not be compatible with the 220V in the UK. For inkjet printers you may have regionalization issues that cane be resolved with a call to support. The inkjet pwer supplies are typically universal, allowing input from 100V-240V. You would likely only need an adapter for the plug or a new cord.

Hi screen name,
Adobe PDF printer gets installed when you install Acrobat 10 Pro.
To use this printer you need to purchase Acrobat. Once the trial period is over you cannot use the printer to create pdf files.
An alternative way for you is to utilize Microsoft's own inbuilt pdf engine.
You can simply open the file and select 'Save as' and in the type list select 'pdf'

Cannot purchase prints and send them to APO address

I'm trying to purchase prints using the new Photos application. When I go to the Checkout and use an APO address it first warns me that it cannot Confirm the address, but I can click continue to bypass this. The problem is the next dialog says "Invalid address, the information in the following fields is invalid or missing:" but it doesn't indicate any particular fields.
After some experimentation I found that if I delete the state it then says "State is missing". If I change the state to something like "XX" I get the same message as when I have "AE" for the state. Finally, if I change the state from "AE" to something like "CA" then the address is accepted. It seems like there are two bugs:
1) APO states (i.e. AA, AE, AP) are considered to be invalid
2) When an invalid State is entered the dialog is missing the additional text "State is invalid"
I doubt there is any work-around for item (1) until an update is produced, so hopefully somebody at Apple will read this and get the application fixed. Until then I will have to use something like Shutterfly.

Were you able to ship to an APO with iPhoto? Tell Apple about this issue via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

I can't use the function of "print to video".

I've recently purchased FCPX and Blackmagic Design Decklink HD Extreme 3(version 7.5.2) but I already know this combination looks quite weird because I'm using only DSR. This is the first time I have installed FCP.
I installed FCPX and figured out there's no way to get the video from Decklink on FCPX so that I deleted FCPX, installed FCP 2009 instead and installed FCPX again on the same disk as Final Cut Pro 7... It's a shame to get rid of it.
At first, I could get a good result when printing to tape. There's no problem. But it's not long before I failed to get what i wanted. VCR detects input signal from FCP 7 through Decklink but the monitor of VCR shows only noise. For now, I can't use the function of "print to video".
Also, I connect the input of Decklink to the output of DSR and the output of Decklink to the input of DSR at the same time and monitor w/ the output of DSR. However, the output on the monitor shows something weird when I capture the video from DSR as if the signal is fed back.
Someone told me that I have to use other version of decklink but i'm not sure it would be better if I just change the version.
What's wrong?
What should I do for fixing these all mess?

I've never done a forum and am not exactly sure what to do from here.   I
know how to do a screen shot on my phone, but not on my computer.
I'm about ready to throw every adobe product I have out the window!   If
you purchase a product you should be able to get support from the company.

Using device fonts for printing

Hello,
I was wondering how to use device fonts in Java. These are the fonts that are in the printer and not in the operating system.
I'm writing some point of sale software that needs to use the Star TSP100 printer on Windows 7 64.
I need to use the device font "control" in order to instruct the printer to open the cash drawer.
I would also like to use the device font "3of9" for barcodes. I know there are alternatives to using this, but directly from the printer would be easier than trying to purchase and deploy a barcode font.
I know that star micronics has a JPOS implementation, but not for windows 7 64. And the JPOS with the StarMicronics bin is cumbersome and unstable for the end user even in Windows XP 32 bit.
If I specify the font "control" java replaces it with the default font. i.e. Font deviceFont = new Font ("control", Font.PLAIN, 8.5); is just the default font and not "control"

I did find a solution to my problem, but I cannot use device fonts. You may also find this useful to address your issue. I opened the a print service and sent ASCII to it instead of creating and printing a graphic object. You'll need the [Command Emulator STAR Line Mode Command Specifications|http://www.star-micronics.co.jp/eng/service/usermanual/comemu_starline_pm.pdf] to know what the commands are for the TSP100 and TSP700. I've included a cheat sheet to find the HEX value of the ASCII command. Note that if you need to send several characters you'll need to use the space with it.
e.g. The command to select font is ESC RS F you'll need to send: 1B201E2046

Restart your WiFi router and printer by removing power for 30 seconds.

Pls take note that my IPad 3 used to find my printer HP wireless D110. The only thing that I did was to update to IOS 7. Do you think this is the reason why my iPad cannot find my wireless printer?

2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

New customized report using PLD or QUERY PRINT LAYOUT to show customers onl

I am working with a Software Developing firm as an SAP Consultant.
Please tell me how to create a new customized report displaying various details as required by the client in the report using PLD or Query Print Layout.
Please help me asap.

Hi,
You can create queries using the Query Generator or the Query Wizard tools.
After you have created your own queries, you can link them to a required print layout.
for user reports.Look at:
Tools --> Queries --> Query Print Layout
Set there your query reports.
Printing User-Defined Queries
After you had linked a user-defined query to a user report template, you can now print it
according to its linked print layout.
There are two ways for printing your user-defined queries.
1. Using the Query Print Layout window:
Select from the upper menu Tools 􀃆 Queries 􀃆 Query Print Layout.
Click the Reports tab page.
Click to highlight the required query you would like to print.
Click on the printer icon or select from the upper menu File 􀃆 Print.
The user-defined query is printed according to its linked print layout.
2. Using the Queries Manager window:
Click the Queries Manager icon on the upper tool bar.
Click to highlight the required query you would like to print.
Click on the printer icon or select from the upper menu File 􀃆 Print.
The user-defined query is printed according to its linked print layout.
Note! You can also print preview user-defined queries. Do so by selecting the Print
Preview option as described in the methods above for printing your query.
Btw, you could search the manual training files relate to query PLD in http://www.service.sap.com/smb

Using htp.p for print dynamic data in apex region make my page slow?

Hi, everyone!!! My name is Rafael, and...
I search in the web and in this forum but i can´t find a answer for my doubt.
Using the procedure htp.p for print dynamic data in apex region through on demand process , this will leave my webpage slow to load when the user access?
Example:
For build a menu in my webpage, it´s read a function in the database that returns variable string, so by a demand process this string is obtain and print in a web page using htp.p.
I notice that this practice causes slow to load the data on the page.
This is it...
If someone help me, thanks...
bye and Happy new Year!!!
Edited by: user9518141 on 26/12/2009 17:19

Hi,
Try commenting out the function call and print some sample text in the htp.p like htp.p('Hello world..');
I think the function call is probably taking a lot of time .. not htp.p.
I have used htp.p to print out values dynamically in a lot of situations and have not ever come across any performance issues.It could be a problem with the function you are calling.
Thanks,
Rajesh.

Cannot start family sharing: Apple id is already used for shared purchases

I'm trying to set-up family sharing on multiple devices, but I'm informed that my mac.com address is "already used for shared purchases" and "accounts can only be part of one Family at a time" with a dialogue box of "OK". We are only one family, and all devices were recently under my iTunes/Apple account. How do I change that so that I can set up family sharing? I have an 11 year old itching for her own phone and want to be able to share, but also to manually approve purchases (which I think is the point of family sharing, especially with someone under 13.)

I FIGURED THIS ONE OUT!!! What happened was initially I had set up a Family Sharing account under my wife's old iCloud login (old email address) . I had set her up as the administrator of the account. We used MY credit card info to handle any purchases made.
Some time later we decided to share MY iCloud account rather than having separate accounts (thus, same email for iCloud login). While switching her out of her old iCloud login over to sharing my login, it never crossed my mind that I had used her old iCloud login to set up Family Sharing. Since her old iCloud login was set up as the administrator of the account, all I had to do was sign into iCloud with her old email address and password that she had used before. Once logged in, I went to Family Sharing and chose an option to stop Family Sharing. As soon as I did that, I re-logged in with the new shared iCloud account and was able to immediately set up Family Sharing. Phew!!!
Hope this helps

How do I use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A plus

I need help with learning to use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A Plus

Click on the Show Details button just above:
You can configure various options from the dropdown menu just below Orientation.
Printing two-sided requires a two-sided adaptor for the printer. Otherwise, you have to print out odd numbered pages first, turn them over and reinsert into the paper feeder, then print even numbered pages. If you do it right you get a nice two-sided document. If you do it wrong all the even numbered pages will be upside down.
