Make sure it is on in the BIOS. Under "config", turn the radio on. Under "Security-I/O Port Access", make sure it is enabled.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless - Where are the printing shortcuts?????

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless Printer
    Windows 7
    Where are the printing shortcuts?????
    I just replaced a canon printer that died that had the concept of PROFILES, so that I could setup a PROFILE for each type of printing, i.e. 4X6 photos/documents/5X7 photos.  So it was easy for our family to print, they would pick each setting.
    Now with latest driver for 8600 there are NO way to save a set of settings for a printer.   I have seen some old discussions on this but I just can't believe HP doesn't have this type of functionality in their drivers.  I don't need the ePrint and all the other bogus stuff installed with the 8600 driver, but I DO NEED the ability to save different sets of printing options so I don't have to remember, borderless or not, landscape or not, etc and keep wasting photo paper/ink/regular paper with incorrect options.
    Here is another posting with similar points -> Customers are NOT getting full print functionality.  We don't care about the extra software, it is minimal.  Full functionality includes the ability to create profiles for different printing situations so that the user can easily choose that profile (and therefore all the myriad settings for that profile).  What HP has done is give us ONE profile, essentially, and every time you want to do something different, you have to change that ONE profile.  How is that helping?
    As I said, if I want to switch from a normal printing job (e-mail, web page, etc.) which uses my ONE setting, and then want to print a 4x6 photo, I have to remember to change at least 6 different settings.  With the shortcut, I would select my "borderless photo" shortcut, and it would automatically switch paper trays, size, color, quality, you name it.  Now you force me to change that each and every time.
    If someone can explain why this is considered full functionality I would be extremely grateful.

    Hello,
    I am sorry you are having trouble with your print experience.
    I am going to make some assumptions here, which could be wrong in your case, but might help others.  Since you mention printing from Windows7 and ePrint in the same thread, can I assume you are trying to print using the HP ePrint driver for windows (www.hp.com/go/eprintsoftware) ?  The ePrint driver also comes preinstalled on all HP laptops and pcs now, so maybe you made a recent pc purchase and therefore have the ePrint driver installed?
    The goal of the ePrint windows driver currently has a lot less to do with providing the hundreds of print features and settings that the full featured, product specific print drivers provide.  The goal is to enable customers to be able to print to any recent or new HP printer through a number of different connection paths from a single installed print driver / print queue.  Once the ePrint driver is installed, printing with that driver will dynamically find direct network printers, cloud enabled printers, public print locations, direct wireless printers, etc., and create the correct print format depending on the print path taken.  If the printer is ePrint cloud enabled and has a good internet connection, the printer and the pc do not have to be in the same location.  For example, you can print from home to your printer at work.  You can send photos of the kids to your mom's printer in another state, etc.  The ePrint solution is also good for the traveling worker who just wants to send the occasional print job to the nearest network or wireless direct printer without having to find and install another print driver for each new printer.  One driver, one queue and you can print to any recent or new HP printer.
    The ePrint driver has a few important print settings that customers may want to use (copies, duplex, grayscale, etc).  More may be added over time depending on demand.
    BTW, because the ePrint driver does not have a ton of print settings to handle, the rendering of print jobs is as simple and efficient as possible and should not bog down your pc.
    If you want all the bells and whistles in the print driver experience and just want to print to a single printer you can download and install the product specific print driver from hp.com  
    I hope that helps out a few people who may be wondering what the purpose of ePrint is!!
    Good luck.
    I am an HP employee, but these are my own thoughts and suggestions

  • Where's the best location to place Wireless router

    I have a two story house and want to know the best location to get the besp reception inside and outside the house

    The best place is generally somewhere near the center of the area where you want wireless service.  Ideally, the signal should pass through as few walls as possible, as it travels from the router to your wireless computers.  Try to locate it away from other electronics (i.e. don't put it behind your monitor, near a 2.4 GHz telephone, or near a microwave.).  If you have a primary desktop computer, there are some advantages to keeping it within eyesight, as this lets you quickly check the status of the router if there is a problem.   Finding a good location is sometimes just a matter of trial and error, so don't hesitate to try out a few spots.  If you find 2 locations that are equally satisfactory to you, then consider your neighbors, and locate it where it is least likely to bother them.

  • Where is the official documentation for Wireless OTA Enterprise App Distribution?

    Where is the official documentation for Wireless OTA Enterprise App Distribution? It used to be here:
    http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/FA_Wireless_Enterprise_ App_Distribution/Introduction/Introduction.html
    The above link is present in many posts in these forums (cf. More Like This below this question.
    The information I seek may also have been here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=answerlink&url=http://manuals.info.apple. com/en_US/Enterprise_Deployment_Guide.pd…
    The article in question had official details on
    the itms-services:// link,
    the app manifest file format and
    the general information.
    Currently I cannot find anything official on enterprise app distribution - only third party information. Has something changed, or is this a documentation glitch? Surely wireless OTA enterprise app distribution is still available via the enterprise developer program?
    Note: We currently use this for one of our enterprise clients. But before recommending other clients to join the enterprise developer program, we would like an official citation on whether this mechanism still exists.

    OK, the link in my question is no longer a 404. It's been replaced by a redirect to a new iOS Enterprise Deployment subsite which has been remade for iOS 8.
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/business/it/deployment.html
    My actual question about the technical reference is now located in the iOS Deployment Reference section of Apple Help:

    I have a new wireless printer. Where is the print button on my iPad?

    1. Buy a AirPrint enabled printer; see list below
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    2. Run the CD provided and setup as network printer; this will setup your printer to the same network as your iPad

    3. Start printing from your iPad without wire

  • How to install my WVC210 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Camera so I can view it from any where in the world.

    Hi guys I just bught a
    WVC210 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Camera
    I need to install it so that I can view it from any where in the world. I have no Idea how to do this.
    I would like if some one can send me a video tutorial on how to do it.
    I have a website that I am runing so I guess I can use that if I need something like Hosting and Domain things.
    I want to know if it is posible that I can some how configure it so I can view the camera on one of my websites page.
    For exaple: www.example.com/mycamera???
    If not well I would love to here the options I have.
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Rogerio,
    I have never seen a router like you have and I wouldn't dare advise you about changing the settings. It appears that it is a router/modem that was provided by your ISP. If this is the case, I recommend that you call your ISP and ask them for Port Forwarding assistance. You need to forward port 80 to the LAN IP address of your camera. The LAN IP address of your camera is the IP address that you use to log into the web interface. You should not need to change any settings on the camera. After you have had the ISP help you forward the port to the camera, go to ipchicken.com and you will see your WAN IP address. Write that address down and then go to a remote location and type it into your web browser. You should get the login page of the camera. Note that your WAN IP is subject to change. You can ask your ISP to provide you with a static IP address which will be an additional charge each month but your IP address will not change. Another option is to use a service such as dyndns to create a unique URL that you can use to access the camera remotely even if your WAN IP address changes. We can discuss that after you get access to the camera if you have further questions.

  • Where does the magnet go for the reed switch? (i found the magnet after . .

    My hinges had broken on the display so I replaced the display.
    After putting back the unit together I found a magnet ?
    The unit was going to sleep with the screen open.
    I assume this is for the reed switch, where does the magnet go?
    in the computer?
    I found reference to the 12" ibook G4 1.2ghz with the reed switch under "end" key and the magnet in the screen. However I found the sensor "reed switch" in my screen in the right upper side.

    I found it.

    Writing in pages in Afrikaans. Spellcheck keep on correcting to dutch. Switched off spell check and also looked in System preferences - keyboard. this stops the "Auto-correct" but does not help me with Afrikaans or other language spell check.  Where do I get languages other than what Apple offer and where is the dictionary, Library, spelling files.

    You are basically limited to what Apple deigns to offer.
    Try LibreOffice [free] which has a huge selection of languages.

  • HT4867 Now that I've switched to  ICloud where are the mailboxes that were stored on my Mac?

    Now that I've switched to ICloud where are the mailboxes that were stored on my Mac?

    On your mac, mailboxes are listed under one of several categories.  Some are "on my mac" and others are in "icloud".  Those emails in mailboxes "on my mac" are strictly local, they do not connect with iCloud.  As Julian points out, all mailboxes on your mac are still there.  They will not be on your other devices.

    Where is the hyphen on the apple TV?  I am trying to set up my network and there is a hyphen in the password for the network

    A few options to try:
    They hyphen should be next to the + on the character map.
    If you are still having issues, provided your ATV software is up to date, you can now connect an Apple Wireless Keyboard through bluetooth connections.
    Change your network password so it does not use a hyphen
    Good luck!

    Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
    - To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
    The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
    - They are two kinds of internet connection.
    WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
    If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
    I am sure that they can help you with that.
    I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

  • I have a 4g classic iPod.Suddenly almost all my games won't play and I get a message to go to the site but there is nothing there for me. Where are the games for my iPod and what has changed to make my games no longer Play?

    Most of the games on my iPod classic 4g will not play anymore. I get a message that is of no help and when i synced the games they disappeared. What is going on and where have the games for iPods on iTunes gone ?

    Apple removed the clickwheel games from the iTunes Store back in September. 
    Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod to see if that helps resolve the issue of not being able to play the games?  To do this, first make sure the Hold Switch is in the OFF position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Where are the Qualcomm Gobi Drivers for Windows 7 ?

    I have a T400 that I just in-place upgraded to Windows 7. Various unpleasant things happened, but the one I'm working on first is that the CDMA card (Qualcomm Gobi) no longer works. The driver has the yellow exclaimation thing. So to Lenovo's driver download site. Good news, there's a Windows 7 driver listed. However, there's no actual file (!!). I get to this page : http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-69999.html with the title :This package provides the Wireless WAN driver to enable the following adapters.
    - Qualcomm HS-USB
    However, it then says below:
    No available downloads
    So Lenovo folks, where is the driver ?

    Download the pdf version of the manual.
    Much easier to find stuff than the online version.

  • Where are the print drivers found?

    I have a Brother HL 2040 laser printer. THe Brother website has a version 2.2 driver for this printer. I downloaded and installed. When I add the printer I keep getting version 1.4 driver.
    Can someone tell me where are the drivers found on my iMac?
    Also I am trying to get this to print via a Linksys wireless print server. Do I use the ip address for the print server or the printer when adding this.
    I tried using the print server IP but I get a "printer paused" issue. I think I need the new print driver.
    thanks in advance for any help.

    I have not gotten the driver to update to the newest version. I deleted the Brother Folders as mentioned in the replies, no joy. No matter what I do it ends up 1.4 not 2.0.
    Version 1.4 worked OK for a USB connection, so I went forward with trying to get the network connection going. By trying every combination available I got it to work.
    What HP jetdesk-socket has to do with my printer...escapes me. But that combination with version 1.4 driver works.
    I will leave well enough alone.
    I have 2 other computer to update to SL.....maybe.
