What is the best way to scan using an HP All-in-One? (HP Office Jet 6210)

I have a HP 6210 that I would like to use to scan into my Mac. When I needed to print to HP printers, I realized that I did not need additional drivers and could use CUPS (as I understand Linux printing stuff).
Is there any way to scan without installing HP software? I am concerned about ending up with bloated software that consumes my CPU even when I do not need it. I know I am being suspicious even before installing the software linked to below, but then with HP I have had bad bloated software experiences.
I hope some Mac experts know the answer

This doesn't answer your question exactly, but still. I just got a HP J6480 all-in-one, and installed the HP software. I have to say that I'm impressed with the software. Previously, I have been very unhappy with HP software (for Windows) to the point of not wanting to buy HP again, but this software just works, and it does not use CPU when not in use. So, my recommendation would be to just install the HP software (probably similar to that of the J6480).

    What is the best way to scan and sort old photos in iPhoto?  They do not have digital dates.

    Hey Chicago Sue,
    Once you scan them and have them on your desktop. You should use Automator and assign the common IPTC tags to the images, so that when you do import them into iPhoto, they get recorded.
    Here is an example of an action in Automator:

  • What's the best way to transfer (not forward) a call from one iPhone to another?

    What's the best way to transfer (not forward) a call from one iPhone to another? Is there an app available that does this? I'm asking about receiving a call, then transferring that caller to another iPhone on a separate number and then disconnecting while those two users are joined up in a conversation.

    Ask your carrier. This would be a feature provided by them.

    What is the best way to install client for all computer 
    thank u 

    You basically have 3 options, if you disregard a manual install.
    1. Client Push. Configure an account with local admin rights on the clients, and enable Site-Wide pushing of client.
    2. GPO. Import the GPO templates and enable the client to be installed that way
    3. Startup script.
    Of the 3, I usually go with a combination of client push and GPO.

  • What is the best way to sharpen using both Lightroom_4 and Photoshop CS6?

    I want to learn the best way to sharpen various subjects.  I have Martin Evening's latest Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 books, but no mention of which methods are better,  or better for which subjects/conditions.  It seems that Camera Raw and Lightroom are the same, so I'm tempted to just do it all in Lightroom with the Develop module Detail panel, and the adjustment brush for local sharpening. But can I be doing more with Photoshop CS6, or Lightroom and Photoshop together?

    Lightroom and Photoshop have different capabilities.  Photoshop power lies in layers so sharpening in Photoshop is best done using a sharpening layer which can be blended and masked into layers below.  Lightroom is more a image developer then and editor and does not have layer support.  Both Lightroom and Photoshop use Adobe RAW conversion engine to develop images.  Adobe RAW Conversion Engine has very good sharpening and noise reduction capabilities. Sharpening and Noise reduction is more or less a balancing act to much sharpening enhances noise to much noise reducing loose details and add softness.  Though both Photoshop and Lightroom use the same Adobe RAW conversion engine they use different user interfaces when they use Adobe RAW conversion engine.  Lightroom also lacks Layer support.

  • What is the best way to scan from HP MFP to SharePoint 2010?

    Does anyone know if an HP MFP can be made to scan into a SharePoint 2010 folder?  HP MFPs such as the HP CM3530 offer scan-to-email and scan-to-folder functions.  The scan-to-folder function does not seem to be able to access a SharePoint 2010
    folder.  I suspect it has something to do with the difference between typical file sharer and the webshares on SharePoint.  I could use the scan-to-email, sending the scanned document to a email enable SharePoint folder but this seems like a rather
    ham-handed approach.  Why should I send all my scans through the Exchange server when the MFP should be able to save the PDF directly to the SharePoint 2010 folder.

    Hi,
    It is not possible to scan to SharePoint library from HP MPFS.
    You may try to use some plug-in to get it to talk to SharePoint, for more information, you can refer to:http://www.darkblueduck.com/Products/ScanningEnabler2010.aspx

  • What are the best ways to recycle used Apple products?

    I currently have a iPhone 4 (32 GB, Black) and a Macbook Pro (Mid-2009, 2.53 GHz, 250 GB storage, 4 GB memory) that I don't use anymore. I'm looking into recycling them or selling them but I'm not sure about:
    a) What the products are worth - the iPhone looks brand new and the Macbook Pro is in fair condition but needs a battery replacement
    b) Which recycling programs to go with - Apple's PowerON program has shady reviews and I'm not sure whether to trust sites like 'gazelle'
    If anyone has any advice on recycling or selling their Apple products, let me know. Thanks!

    jess_ek,
    To get an idea of what the products are worth, take a look at recent winning bids on online auction sites for identical items to yours in similar condition.
    If you prefer to recycle rather than to sell, you could donate them to iFixit, which will make maximum use of their parts to help keep other iPhones and MacBook Pros running. If you’d prefer to sell them, you could offer them as individual lots on online auction sites, or advertise them for sale on online classified ad sites.

  • What's the 'best' way to copy a usable project to new one so it can be modified without affecting the original?

    I'm pretty much a LavVIEW newbie. 
    I'm using LabVIEW 2012 Full on Windows 7.  I copied a project using Save As-Duplicate in Project Explorer.  It created an excessively long, complex directory structure.  It resulted in 'too long' errors (presumably from the PATH being too long).
    The intent was to get a copy of the usable project to be able freely modify it without damaging the original. 
    I've poked around the forums and knowledge base, didn't see anything definitive.  I'm guessing the information is already posted but I just haven't been able to find it.  A point in the correct direction would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Much easier to remove then add, which is why I copied the tree and delete things not needed.  But I do agree that these actors/engines could be more reusable.  I do have them in lvlib form but many times there will be coupling between actors that are unavoidable.  If the UPS actor detects a power outage it needs to tell the sequencing actor to stop testing if a testing is going on.  For that reason I have a hard time splitting some actors into reusable modules, because they are only reusable if other components are there.

  • 1NAS/1pc/1macbook/iphone, what is the best way to setup itune so that all devices can share the same lib?

    OK, this issue has troubled me for a long time, i just wish to get some input here. i apprecaite any suggestion!
    here is my scenario:
    I have a pc running XP, currently where all my music resides in its local drive.
    The macbook/iphone can see the shared library, w/o any problem.
    But thing is, I don't want to turn on my PC all the time just for other devices to access the music library.
    So I got a NAS (iomega home media cloud) which said to be UPNP media server certified;
    I have tried to copy all my music to the NAS, my PC/mac see the drive in itunes under shared library, but when I click the NAS, nothing happened. The NAS shared library window just loaded for 2 seconds in blank and return back to the main library.
    The NAS works fine in all other circumstances.
    This is my frustration, can anyone tell me, how to make this work? is that just this particular NAS doesn't work? do I have to point my pc/mac itune library to the NAS instead? if that's the case, how would my phone read the shared library, coz apparaently, even my NAS said UPNP certified, the iphone never see that NAS drive under the music app.
    On a seperate note, I also have itune match, where all my musics are in the icloud; would pointing my library to NAS messed up w/ my original music in the cloud?
    I deeply appreciate any feedback and suggestion, i just wish 'it just works'
    Thanks in advance!

    please, anyone?

  • What is the best way to edit photos and save changes across devices (without using iphoto)

    So I took allot of vacation photos with my iphone and created a photo stream so they can be viewed across devices. Some are dark and I would like to lighten them up and have the changes saved across devices. What is the best way? I originally tried saving all photos to my pc, editing them them, then syncing to all devices via my pc but, this creates 2 folders on my phone, the actual folder with said vacation name and a folder titled "photo gallery" with the exact same photo's. Not sure why it does that.
    Any suggestions?

    All photos transferred from your computer are saved in the iPhone's Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below include a pointer only to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated as in taking double the storage space.
    This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos in all albums by selecting Photo Library. The same applies if you transfer multiple albums or folders of photos, or a single album or folder.
    Similar to an iTunes playlist on your iPhone. You can listen to a playlist only by selecting the playlist, or listen to all songs by selecting Music. A song placed in a playlist is not duplicated as in taking up double the storage space.
    You can place the edits in the photo stream on your computer, or in the photo stream on your iPhone or other iOS device, and delete the originals in the photo stream prior to the editing.  

  • What is the best way to connect PumpWorks to Labview? DDE or OPC

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi.
    If the instrumet can communicate with an OPC server I think both methods are fairly equal.
    There is a chance that you might have to reinstall LabVIEW without OPC server if you choose DDE, as it is known that it might conflict with the DDE server.

  • What is the best way to run AirPort Extreme and Airport Time Capsule together?

    I have cable DSL, and I was running an AirPort Extreme. DH was sold a time capsule, so I just daisy-chained off the airport. We had an issue with limited reach, so I tried to reconfigure. Now I have no wifi at all. Tried everything I can think of. What is the best way to handle these two products, or should one be left out? Any suggestions would be great.

    Decide which one you would like to serve as your router, and configure the other one as a bridge. If they are both the most recent models of each neither one is particularly advantageous over the other.
    Connect them to each other with an Ethernet cable if you want to create a "roaming network", or not, if you want to create a "wirelessly extended" network. A roaming network is the better of those two choices.
    "Hard reset" the one connected to the modem and use AirPort Utility to configure it. Verify everything works to your satisfaction, then "hard reset" the other and configure it.
    To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.
