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.

Is it legal to ship a software developed in LabView outside of the USA? specifically the United Kingdom.

I been ask to ship a compl\ile version of a VI that I been using in my lab to a Company Division located on the United Kingdom, with the new legal rules regarding software distribution I am not sure if I can send a copy without additional paperwork.

Company I worked for last had over 10,000 people working over 3 continents.
Guess who the expert was? The only thing the lawyers knew was how not to get busted for filling in the tax forms incorrectly.
And just to demonstrate how wrong it can go, a company recently got busted in Japan for shipping the equivalent of an accurate micrometer to North Korea. They have offices on every continent and 10's of thousands of employees.
A week earlier they were unfortunate enought to have an agent supply equipment to Libya
"The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) found a precision instrument at a nuclear facility in Libya"
By the way, just because they recipient is not paying for it has absolutely no bearing on the matter.
"The program in question is not beind sold in either country. You are probibly okay."
And finally there are / were restrictions on exporting to the UK, hence my quote about Microsoft, it's only recently Brits were allowed to upgrade from 40 bit security in Windows. The American security services never really got over Philby, Burges and Maclean.....despite their own skeletons.

Hi
my name is Al-Ameen, Am from Nigeria,actually my brother from the united kingdom sent me an iphone5, So when i insert my Sim card i discovered the iPhone is locked.
So the reason why am sending this mail is to ask for the procedure of how to unlock an iPhone from another country the amount paid and all the other information about unlocking an iPhone.
Hope to hear back from you guys.
Many Thanks
Al-Ameen.

You need to contact the carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. You may need to talk to your brother about this.

Advice For Someone Using A Professional Printer For The First Time

Hello everyone
1. I'm doing some posters and flyers for my club using Pages. We've got them looking how we want on my home inkjet printer but now we need someone to print out large quantities. I've never used a professional print service before. There are simply loads of posts on this topic but I wonder if there is anyone out there that does this a lot and can tell me how they do it. I was hoping to initiate the definitive Professional Printing FAQ thread.
2. Reading the numerous posts, there are lots of terms that I don't understand like 'bleeds' and 'pantone'. Understandably, print is a whole new world of technical terms. Can anyone recommend a good introduction to all this on the web?
Thanks

I don't know of a good basic FAQ for printing, but I can try to address some of your issues.
What is a "large quantity", IanB? Tens, hundreds, thousands? In my experience this is probably the most critical issue, since it pretty much determines the printing method used (and thus the cost). Anything under about a thousand copies will these days likely be printed "digitally", which essentially means run off on a colour laser printer. In my experience, as long as you are not fanatical about colour accuracy, this method is very forgiving of the way the source file is set up, and most houses will take standard PDFs. It is much more expensive on a per-unit basis than offset printing, but there is also little/no "set up" cost, which means that for short runs it is often far more affordable in terms of total cost.
Once you get to big runs, where you need offset printing (presses that use metal plates for different colour inks), things change a fair bit, as you have to deal with colour separations and possibly spot (Pantone) colours as well. The setup costs for this kind of printing can be very substantial (making metal plates is expensive), but once set up, the cost per unit is far less than digital printing. If this is your first time out, I'd suggest either avoiding going this route, or finding a very understanding print shop that is willing to hold your hand through the production process.
As for bleeds, that refers to when objects on your document go all the way to the edge of a page. The problem with using bleeds is that they require the printer to print the page on a larger physical piece of paper, with the bleeding objects slightly over the desired edge, and then trim that paper down to size, cut so that the bleeding section is cut through (to avoid a white unprinted edge). But because the cutting is not always absolutely accurate, you need to leave space between the edge of the page and any material that absolutely has to be on it (e.g., text), so that the trimming will only cut away some of the bleed, but not the critical material.
Bleeds make setting up (and printing) your document much more complicated, and you will be much better off if you can avoid bleeds for your first experience doing professional printing. If not, I'd again suggest that you shop around for a print house that says they'll be willing to walk you through the process of how to format your document to do this.
I'm sure others here that are more experienced in the printing process can point you to more comprehensive resources, or give you more detailed advice.

How can I use a wireless printer and the internet at the same time?

Hi there, I just installed a wireless printer but to use it I have to click on the Airport icon and select the printer in the 'devices' list. This deselects my connection to my wireless modem. Is there any way I can print and look at the internet at the same time? This does not seem right to me, I print a lot of info from the net and don't want to spend time selecting and waiting for connection back and forth all the time.

I have a Linksys WAG54G2 wireless G router. This router has a Wireless Protected Setup button which I understood would initiate a search for wireless devices and aid setup but it seems to do nothing. I made the mistake of tryig to use the linksys installation disk to access a setup wizard and that just reset my entire network back to factory settings and it took me 4 hours to reconfig my system. Won't be touching that again. It all seems odd, the printer is compatible with the router as far as I can see but I don't know how to get the router to recognise the printer.

The payment card you entered is not valid in the United Kingdom

Why can't I change my itunes from US to UK? everytime I enter a valid UK card I get the above error message. It *****.

Hi ...
The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

Why can I not purchase the Mac pro in the United Kingdom?

Mac pro.

In most parts of the world, you can remove the side door with the Mac Pro 65 lb tower still running, and check whether fans are all running.
CAUTION: In the EU, the European commission has determined that you are too stupid not to put your finger in the fans, and the Mac Pro's plastic fans with pitiful 12 Volt motors are so dangerous it cannot be sold in the EU until a new model is released (possibly later this year). So this advice is not to be used in Europe.
Also, be certain that any bananas you buy are not too strongly curved -- those are illegal in Europe. Unfortunately, you will be forced to fend for yourself when using refillable Olive Oil bottles in restaurants -- they were unable to develop a consensus to ban them outright for the good of the public. So please, be extremely careful!
