Wha do I need to consider when trying to fix my Designjet 5000?

G'day everyone,
I picked up a Designjet 5000 yesterday, which 'doesn't work'. I have no experience with printers, but it was only $50 so I thought I would give it a go. On turning it on, it gives the 'Error memory test' error, which I have determined means that the 128MB DIMM memory module is dead. That's not a problem, as I've sourced replacements all over the internet.
This machine hasn't been in use for several months now, and is covered in dust. I gave the carriage belt a light squeeze and it snapped in half (just to give you an idea as to what condition it's in).
My main question is regarding the ink system. This printer doesn't have any inks, printheads or service station cartridges installed. How do I go about getting each of these parts? The inks seem fairly simple, there are inks on eBay and various other places around the internet, but the printheads and service station cartridges I'm not so sure.
Any advce would be great, as I'm definitely a printing novice! I'm sure I'll have problems down the road with residual ink having dried in the tubes etc, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it!
Cheers!

Sounds like a good deal :-).

I had to uninstall itunes so that I could load this version as the update to version 11 kept failing. The PC says 11.1.1.11 is correctly loaded, but I now cannot open itunes.

  • Soundtrack Pro Shuts down when trying to fix analized Action

    Soundtrack Pro Shuts down when trying to fix analized Action

    Thanks, I'll have to give that a try if there isn't an easier answer out there somewhere. If I pull the card will I have to reload the software and drivers?
    If my project is saved and I have a copy of the project saved will I be able to reload Adobe without losing anything? What I mean is will I be able to just import my whole project once reloaded?
    I just don't understand what could have happened, since I was doing this with no problem a couple of days ago.
    Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated.

  • I have messed up iCloud mail setting when trying to fix a yahoo issue. I need the settings to send mail from iCloud

    Can someone please send me step by step what to set my icloud outgoing mail setting to. It continues to say that the server is no longer connected. I tried adding an outgoing mail server as smtp.mail.me.com and it won't connect. I messed it up when I played around with settings due to Yahoo not working this morning. Yahoo is now working and icloud is not. Thanks for your help.

    These are the manual settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864, but if you are signed into iCloud on your Mac it should automatically contigure your iCloud email account with the correct settings.  If it isn't working, go to Settings>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then check Mail again.  That will remove, then recreate your iCloud email account.

  • Need user message  when trying to run report when report session is already open.

    HI !!
    I have GUI application bulid in C++ and we call reports from
    there.
    My user ran a report and minimized the sceen display of the
    report. He then clicked Task/Reports and selected a differnet
    report from the selection list. After he clicked OK nothing
    happened. He believes a message box should appear at this point
    to notify the user that a report session is already opened and
    must be closed before generation of another report can be
    started. This has happened to him several times where he
    minimized a report that he ran and then worked on something else
    for a while and forgot that he had a report open. He then went
    back and tried to run another report and nothing would happen.
    Can we fix this isuue, I mean is there any way to run a differnt
    report if report session is already open.
    Please advise.
    Kind Regards
    SP

  • What do i need to consider when installing labview on a virtual windows machine?

    IT wants to get rid of all computers and wants us to run labview development for our new test lab from a virtual machine. Is this a good idea? What are the potential issues that I need to warn IT about?

    Will you be able to communicate with all of the instruments through the netork?
    Do they have a good reason for doing what they say they want to do?
    They are going to put themselves out of a job.  Once you have all your stuff virtualized on a network, the next step is them losing their jobs as they outsource network administration to India.
    I think these virtual machines are just going to cause you more problems down the road even if you can get them working to some degree.  I really think you need to fight these attempts by them.  If they want to make this change, then it should be their resonsibility to prove to you that all will work properly before they try to implement their scheme rather than them forcing a change and making you try to prove to them that it won't work.
    Here is one scenario I would pose that that works against their idea.
    Do you have long running tests?  Something where you set up equipment and the PC, and have it execute for a period of time continually collecting data?  If something goes wrong during this test, is the test a waste, the test piece trashed?  If you have a PC/real connection to your instrument, then even if the network goes down, the test should still be able to run successfully and the data collected.  But now if you virtualize the PC and the network goes down, it basically takes down the heard of your program and your test is corrupted.  Now they'll say they have back plans, redundant routers, blah blah blah.  And it is usually rare that internal LAN's go down.  But where is this server?  Is it local to you or some other remote location?  It is much more likely for the network to go down if you are jumping between buildings, states, even countries.  And IT is notorious for needing to reboot a server, much needed security upgrades, blah blah blah, that will cause them to take down the virtual machine server.  They may even promise that they'll notify you before they do such a step so that you can finish your test and make sure everything is clean and shutdown.  But guess what, they never do.

  • My google toolbar disappeared - I NEED IT! When trying to install it tells me its not compatible with this new version of Firefox. UNACCEPTABLE!

    I updated Firefox this morning. As I use the Google toolbar on a regular basis for many different reasons, I was very upset to find it had disappeared. I went to Google apps to reinstall it, but found out that it is not compatible with this version of Firefox! Please, don't update software, if it is NOT going to work properly.
    Is there anyway I can remove the update and go back to how it was before???

    You can get Firefox 3.6.16 here: <br />

  • Error message when trying to print to Designjet T2500

    I am running an imac 10.8 attempting to print to a designjet t2500 with the most up to date drivers installed.
    I am hoping that someone at HP can help me with this issue that I have been encountering.  When attempting to print through the Preview app (it works with Layout but I need to use preview), it will not let me change the paper size from letter to the custom size I wish to without an error message.  I wish to change to print size from "letter" to "36"x12"".  The error message I then receive is:
     "Changing the destination paper to 36x12 would cause a conflict that cannot be resolved. No change will be made."
    and then changes the paper size back to letter.  The t2500 is a large format printer so it should be able to print in this size and I have had no problem printing from my macbook running 10.10 in preview as well as other programs.  Are there any known fixes for this issue?

    Hi, I tried to find updated drivers online but I can't find any.  This printer is only about
    4 months old.  I tried reinstalling it and then I set it as default and then tried to print something on the printer B as you called it.  Then it came up with something asking if I wanted to fax it even though I selected printer and not fax.  I also have a desktop computer so would it work to hook this printer up to the desktop and then print it through the network?  I can't find anywhere on photoshop to select a printer on a network.  Do you know how I can do that through photoshop? When I click print, it only brings up the 2 printers I have installed on this laptop.
    Thanks!

  • Am I missing something when trying to fix a podcast feed issue?

    Hi!
    I've been working on this problem for about a month and I feel like I might be missing something obvious at this point.  So, I post it here in the hopes that one of you might be able to offer a suggestion on how I can fix my dilemma. 
    About a month ago I launched a second podcast on my website (wordpress/blubrry) and set up the 301 redirect as was recommended.  After several weeks the podcast feed wasn't updating on the iTunes directory even though I could see that the 301 redirect was working.  So, a few days ago I decided to go back and just keep things the way they originally were and took out the redirect and disabled my category podcast feed.  On my feed it is back to it's original settings, but iTunes is still not updating the feed after several days.
    Here is information on my podcast:
    House Flipping HQ
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/house-flipping-hq-podcast/id730653890?mt=2
    The feed which was originally confirmed in the email from iTunes when our podcast launched last year was this:
    Dear podcast owner,
    Your podcast, located at http://houseflippinghq.com/feed/podcast/, has been approved. You should expect to see it on the iTunes Store within the next few hours. When it's available, you will be able to access it with the URL below.
    If you go to that feed you should see that it is working correctly.
    I have tried almost every day for the past month to figure out why this isn't working but to no avail.  Is there anything I might be missing or overlooking in my process?  If you have any thoughts they would be most welcome.
    Cheers!
    - Mark

    To check the feed in use: go to the iTunes Store in iTunes itself (not the web page that comes up first from the link - click 'View in iTunes') to the page for your podcast and click the 'Subscribe' button.
    Then go to the 'Podcasts' section to view your podcast: control-click (Mac) or right-click (Windows) on the title of your podcast (left column in 'My Podcasts' view or the main entry in List view) and choose 'Copy podcast URL'.
    If you have the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag in place this will show the feed being redirected to but doesn't prove that the Store has yet updated which it will do the first time it checks the feed after the tag has been inserted.

  • Does the JDBC driver need to changin when moving Oracle 9i to Oracle 11g??

    Hi All,
    I have two cases
    Case 1:
    Application is deployed on WebLogic 10 (JDK 5) and connects to Oracle 9i database using the thin driver. Now the database is now moving from ORacle 9i to Oracle 11g. I have the following question:
    1. Does the driver jar file and/or driver class need to be changed on the connection pool front?
    2. If yes then, do we need to change any of the jdbc coding to ensure compatibility?
    Case 2:
    Application is deployed on WebLogic 8.1 (JDK 1.4) and connects to Oracle 10g database using the thin driver. Now the database is now moving from ORacle 10g to Oracle 11g and application is moving to WebLogic 10. I have the following question:
    1. Does the driver jar file and/or driver class need to be changed on the connection pool front?
    2. If yes then, do we need to change any of the jdbc coding to ensure compatibility?
    Additioanlly, are there any other factors that I need to consider when upgrading these applications. Does any one have checklists?
    Any help will be really helpful.
    Thank you

    1. Does the driver jar file and/or driver class need to be changed on the connection pool front?Advised to do so (bugfixes, possible performance optimisations), not required unless you want to use functionality the 9i driver doesn't support.
    2. If yes then, do we need to change any of the jdbc coding to ensure compatibility?
    Not unless you want to use things not supported by the old driver.
    It is however a very good idea to at least update the name of the driver class, as the name used for the 9i driver has been deprecated (it's still allowed, but now leads to another method call which is a waste of CPU time).
    Case 2:
    Application is deployed on WebLogic 8.1 (JDK 1.4) and connects to Oracle 10g database using the thin driver. Now the database is now moving from ORacle 10g to Oracle 11g and application is moving to WebLogic 10. I have the following question:
    1. Does the driver jar file and/or driver class need to be changed on the connection pool front?See above.
    2. If yes then, do we need to change any of the jdbc coding to ensure compatibility?
    See above (except for the driver class name which you should have used the new name already had the application been written to make use of the new name which was introduced in 10g).
    Additioanlly, are there any other factors that I need to consider when upgrading these applications. Does any one have checklists?
    You should always do a full regression test of your entire platform when attempting a migration like this.
    Worst example of what can go wrong I ever encountered was an application where an upgrade of the database server it ran on led to a bugged batch job that for 5 years had (unnoticed to anyone) never completed because it always entered a timeout causing a rollback now suddenly no longer timing out and inserting 10k records of corrupt data every time it was run (where what it should insert were maybe a few dozen records of actual data at most).
    The database engine upgrade had not been announced to the dev team, the team responsible for it didn't do regression tests (as application testing is the responsibility of the dev team), the sys admins who should make full backups at upgrade moments (so we could roll back to the previous release if something went wrong) made no backup because it was no application upgrade, and now one of the core applications for several dozen offices was fundamentally broken.
    Technical lead for the application was literally on the other side of the world on a vacation, functional lead had left the company, the entire dev team consisted of me as a contractor brought in just 2 weeks prior and a new functional lead who'd arrived at about the same time, we were both still trying to get to know the system.
    Potential financial loss: millions a week if it wasn't fixed quick.
    That's the nightmare scenario from hell of course, where everything that could go wrong did go wrong all at the same time.

  • When trying to re-install itunes i get error HRRESULT:0x8007054F what does this mean?

    I am useless with technology and desperately need help!  When trying to re-install itunes i get error HRRESULT:0x8007054F what does this mean? I have followed step by step guide to de-install then re-install itunes as instructed when i couldnt connect my new ipad to my computer to synchronise it with my exisiting itunes account initially set up with my ipod. I successfully re-nstalled itunes but it wouldnt open and told me to de-install and re-install again.  This has repeated several times and now i get this error message. I dont know what to do next? 

    HRRESULT: 0x8007054F
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 8007054F, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • What to consider when migrating from 9.0.3.4 to 10.1.3.3?

    Hi!
    I need to migrate a few applications from JDev 9.0.3.4 to 10.1.3.3. Among those applications, I've got Uix, BC4J and Struts frameworks.
    I've been researching a lot about this migration, and as far as I can understand it sounds like a big hassle, as I'll have to consider rewriting big part of the code, specially when it comes to UIX framework.
    I'd like to ask if anyone has got into a similar task, or has enough knowledge to tell me what tasks I need to consider when executing this migration?
    Thank you in advance!

    You will be stuck redoing all of your uix pages into JSF, the tool that Oracle provides to do the conversion really does not work well at all. Its worth the work though, JSF is a big improvement over UIX, and there is a lot more documentation for the JSF stuff.
    Good luck on your task.

    Is your Apple Intel-based, poppelmacbook?  If not, you should consider treating yourself to a new Mac. Last December I gave up my old because it just could not update...anything because it was not Intel-based.  Updating everything on this OS to 10.9 has been confusing for me, but I just could not work with that old Mac because the updates were too smart? for my 10.6.  It is upstairs now...for visiting family:  games, garage band, etc.--things I never did use.  Apple refurbished and purchase the extended warranty.  Apple loyalist since late 1980's.
