Hi pa_tom,
In your printers folder on your computer, is the default printer set to your printer, or your printer- fax?

    I just installed and then uninstalled a Canon printer to my computer. Now, I cannot print. When I go to print, it takes me to a fax page. My 6600 is designated as the default printer.  Please help.

    Welcome to the HP Forums okbyme,
    I see by your post that the printer is set as the default printer, but when trying to print it defaults to the fax driver.
    I can help you with this issue.
    Clear out the print spool folder.
    How to Clear Current Print Queue In Windows Vista & Windows 7.
    From the application, go to file, print and select the printer in the print dialogue box to see if it will print.
    Try opening the application, go to file, print, right click on the printer driver and select set as default.
    Close the window and try again to see if the default printer changed back again.
    If you are not actively using your Fax driver then remove it from your Devices and Printers folder.
    The only other option would be to fully uninstall and reinstall the printer software. The printer driver might have become corrupted.

  • Why does Captivate have to convert all the PPTX slides when I only want two?

    Hello friendly people : ) ,
    I often import Power Point slides into my Captivate projets.  Even when I only want two slides from a large Power Point presentation, Captivate converts every slide, and this of course, take quite a bit of time.  Is there any way around this? 
    Thank you.
    Ryan

    Hi Ryan,
    How Captivate does import is, it fetches all the PPT/PPTX source content in the import process and then produces the Selection box where you can choose what all slide you want to bring in and then on proceeding it converts those slides to Cp compatible Slide structure and introduces them at the stated slide location.
    What, I understand (Looking at your other thread) you do not link and re-import all slides after making any small change. So, if these modifications are being made by same individual on same machine, he can simply right click and edit the presentation from PowerPoint and save it to bring all the changes (this can be done without switching to linked in library).
    Thanks,
    Anjaneai

  • Why do i need to give them my credit card when i just want to redeem a gift card

    I have itunes set up on our home computer. We got a iTunes gift card, so we tried to buy an album  I entered the verification code on the back of the card. the top righthand side of the screen successfully registered the $15. Then when I went to buy an album, it wouldn't let me unless I entered credit card information. Why does it demand my credit card when I am not paying by credit card? When you buy something at a store with cash or a gift card, they don't demand your credit card.

    Please see the information here -> Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Suppor…

  • Why does my iPod automatically adjust it's volume setting when I plug in different headphones?

    So, I frequently switch between a pair of earpods and a different type of headphone, and when I switch, my iPod volume control self-adjusts.  What is it doing?  Is it something to do with imedance?
    Thanks!
    Jason

    Hello,
    Apple has a profile for each headphone you just put. When you plug a pair of headphones, and you don't change the volume, the volume changes itself to the previous time you putted the same headphones. This happen because the profile saves itself in a cache inside the Apple filesystem. If there were no cache, everytime you connect a pair of headphones, you will **** your ears. So that's the problem here.
    Cheers.

  • Why does apple make it so difficult to contact them?  I just want a follow up on a case I opened and can't seem to get to the right place.  You can't follow up with the email because it's a no reply. Very frustrating.

    Anyone have a link? I have been going round in circles for at least an hour.  Not much fun with a home button that dosnt work.

    you get help with anything you need if you go to a Apple store, i've been using apple for many years and they have never let me down, also you can contact them by phone, here is the link to the page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • On my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

    on my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

    It depends on the size of the attachment and the speed of your internet connection.
    Next time you send an email with an attachment do these two things:
    In Apple Mail (I assume you are using Apple Mail), under the Window menu select Activity. Arrange the Activity window so you can see it.
    Then open the separate application located in the Utilities folder called "Activity Monitor" and arrange it so you can see it at the same time as the Activity window in Mail.
    In Activity Monitor program, select the tab labeled "Network." Watch the "Data sent/sec" portion. Then send your email, while watching the Mail Activity window and also the Activity Monitor program window Data sent/sec area.
    You should see the mail being sent with a progress bar in the Mail Activity window and also you should be able to see how many bytes/sec or KB/sec or MB/sec your internet connection is giving you in the Activity Monitor window.
    Example: my internet provider gives me about 20 Megabits per second download and 5 Megabits per second upload. To convert these to Megabytes per second (Activity Monitor shows things in bytes, not bits), simply divide by 10 (not the exact thing to do, but close enough). So I get 0.5 Megabytes per second upload speed. When I send a file that is 5 Megabytes in size, it takes about 10 seconds if I am getting the full upload bandwidth. If I am getting less than that (which sometimes happens), it will take proportionately more time. Either way, you can see what is happening with these two windows.
    If your internet provider is supposed to give you, say, 5 Megabits/sec upload (0.5 Megabytes/sec), but you see only say, 5 KB/sec (=0.005 Megabytes/sec), sent in Activity Monitor, then your emails are taking a long time because you are getting only abut 1/100 the speed you should be. You might want to check with your internet provider about that.

  • Why does it take so long to send emails?

    why does it take so long to send emails on my ipad?

    This is dependent on a lot of things, 3G or Wi-Fi? Any attachments in the email which may take a long time to upload, length of the email in general, corporate security checks could be in place and slowing it down as well?

    What is telling you that it takes a long time? Do you have a good cellular signal when trying to send a text. Text messages are controlled by the carrier. What troubleshooting have you done on the phone?

  • Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

    Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

    Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
    I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?

  • Why does my phone call go directly to voice mail when I call my daughter?  No others do this.

    Why does my phone call go directly to voice mail when I call my daughter.    I can call anyone else and talk to the person I call.
    I am using the IPhone 4
    Your response is that she has it forwarded to voicemail.   It is a Samsung -so she wants to know how she un forwards it,.  Or is my phone directly to her voicemail.  The 'Finger Tips" says to send a call directly to voicemail push On/Off twice.    I did not knowingly do that

    Clarifications... when you say "... only  some calls..."  and "... someone says they called..." - are these all from from one caller?
    After following all these fine suggestions and eliminating them systematically, consider that this kind of stuff is as old as the cellphone system. A few possibilities that occur to me just regarding the network system:
    you are in a habitually dead spot area. I have one in my own house!
    you travel through many of these dead zones (traditionally called 'low-coverage' areas) - remember how big a deal the coverage maps were to us?
    there is an issue with your network service provider's back-end system (my first thought - above)
    keep plugging away amigo! I'll bet you get this solved.
