Windows 7 and vista. printer issue

I have 2 laptops one has vista and the new one has windows. i installed the drivers form HP's site but can not print. Shows printer offline. Need help.. using a wireless router for both.

What printer? Print a Network Config test from its front panel to see if it is connected to your router. Also, tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).

Windows 7 and Bonjour--Printer issue--Need Help ASAP, Please!

Okay, add my name to the growing list of people with Windows 7 issues. (Actually, add my wife's name. I have a Mac, and I'm glad I do.)
Anyway--she has a new HP laptop with Windows 7 preloaded. We use Airport Express as a wireless router for our 5 year old HP PSC 1350 all in one printer, requiring the use of Bonjour 1.0.6 on her new laptop to print wirelessly. Except it is only printing about 2/3's of a page and quitting. This also fouls up the printing que, meaning nothing else will print on her unit. (I have not tried printing from the Mac while her HP is AFU.)
How do I rectify this, other than taking her HP back and getting the Mac she'd be happier with?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, as she's in school and needs to print a lot of papers.
Doc

There has been no satisfactory answer to this. So, no, my question isn't really answered.
Instead, we bought a new wireless printer, and I removed Bonjour and AirPort from her Windoze 7 unit.
I'm not so thrilled, but she's happy. And if she's happy, it's okay.
I guess.

Hi there!
Please see this thread for the download links for the Fingerprint Software 5.8 ....
This issue was already raised in the ThinkVantage subforum here at Lenovo Forums and it is resolved.
Regarding the Turbo Memory, please keep in mind that the hardware only works with Vista. Windows XP does not support turbo memory thus the piece of hardware is rendered useless. With regards to Turbo Memory usage in Vista, the latest drivers do fully support the card in Vista and since there are no technological changes, there is no need for additional or new drivers.
Hope this helps!

6.18 does not work on Windows XP and Vista

6.18 doesn' t work at all on Windows XP
On Windows Vista my webcam doesn't work!!!
And now Skype tells me I can't use it unless I upgrade to the latest version?
What kind of crap is this?

I confirmed when I rolled back to version 6.13 on Windows Vista the webcam started working again.
And forget it - nothing after version 6 can even run on Windows XP.
I spent like 3-4 hours trying to debug this issue. Even got an online webcam tester to demonstrate and prove my webcam works.
How could you Skype people say "Please make sure you are using the latest version (currently 6.1 of Skype for Windows before reporting an issue."??? You haven't even made sure that your latest version even WORKS on the OSs you claim it works on... and to add insult to injury your website doesn't even have older versions just in case there's a problem. We have to rely on good samaritans in the community to archive previous versions that work...
If you are going to advertise that your software works on previous OSs you should test them before forcing us to upgrade.
ruwin I would appreciate a response.
Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (both on Windows XP and Vista).
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.
Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

Smartforms / Font and Lanscape printing issue

Hello,
        I have developed a smartforms which is in landscape format. When I look at the output which is a pdf the smartform appears to ignore all of the smartstyles that are associated with it so all of the details are printed exactly the same size. Therefore, details as such line items are not appearing in the smaller size fonts I have specified.
      What is more confusing is that I have another similar smartform which is in portrait format and the output which is a pdf appears to work correctly. All the details on the output are in the correct sizes. Both of these smartforms use the same smartstyle and are being output from the same laser printer.
     Is there some known issue where the fonts are ignored when being output in landscape by a laser printer?
Thanking you in advance!

I'm assuming you are using the SAME fonts/sizes (not different ones as the other poster mentioned) and that's the reason for the confusion. This is usually due to device type configuration and there are a couple of things you can check (or get the Basis Admin to help you out):
- Set your default printer in Windows appropriately and then print the spool or spool preview to LOCL. Does this work? If so, you've definitely got an SAP device type config issue.
- Go to SPAD and look at the device type assigned to your output device. Then look at the page format assigned to your device type. Is your landscape page format assigned (it should be, otherwise you would get an error when printing)? If so, compare the two page formats assigned to the device type - are they the same? Do you have any initialization sequences assigned to one and not the other? Or are the sequences different?
- If all else fails, double-check that the devices and user IDs used for the PDF conversion are the same

Writing file with windows 7 and vista os..

hi,
since i am using Windows XP operating system with Labview, i made a executable file and i trying to install with Windows 7 or Vista OS installed PC.
when my device is detect it will gives the hardware information , that have to save in to the hard disk, where i am usually putting near to my Application
program exe file. using XP will not be any problem its creates and writes the information file.
for the Vista and windows 7 OS has a adminstrative writes it wont allow to create and write a new file where near to application exe file.
is there any method has to set these file for administrative rights on Windows 7 and vista OS?
i am using Labview 8.6 version
Regards,
Balaji DP

You would need to log into the computer with an account that has administrative rights. Or, you could configure the application to run under the administrator account. Both of these are Windows operations.
Or, you could fix your code so it doesn't do that.

Help me solve color and dark print issue with a new monitor recommendation!

I know, I hate "surveys" too. I'm thinking of attacking my color and dark printing issues w\LR and CS4, by investing in a new monitor. I currently have an 20' early edition Apple Cinema Display. The monitor is the last hardware (software) item in my current upgrade cycle. From those folks who are NOT having color or print problems, what displays are you using (or would recommend)? Ah, and price is an issue. Apologies in advance to those who think this is not appropriate use of the Forum.

Monitor calibration is the first port of call. Sometimes changing one item in a system is enough to show up a colour management issue. You suggest that the monitor is the last item in your upgrade cycle, what all have you changed? Computer, printer? There may also be a setting you have failed to set when you installed the new software, eg. have you remembered to set relative colorimetric with the black point compensation box ticked, disable colour management in your printer driver and put an appropriate colour profile for your monitor onto the new computer? You also need the correct profile for your printer/paper combination set up in Photoshop.
If you haven't calibrated your monitor, that on its own will give you poor prints, but all the other bits are needed also.

Which format for External HD using Mac OSX Windows Xp, and Vista?

Hi
I've had problems with using an extermal HD and am looking for some further information...
I have recently purchased a 500 g external iomega hard drive. I need it to be compatible with my mac using osx, and with pc's using both Windows XP and vista. I will routinely be needing to transfer files from all three platforms.
I had reformatted my hard drive to FAT32 on the pc using windows xp and it worked fine, then took it home and used in on my mac, and it is now no longer recognized on the pc.
The HD is under disk manager is showing that it is formatted as FAT32 but I cannot use the drive. I cannot download programs to use on the PC's to make the drive compatible but could on the mac.
What are my best options to share files reliably?
Thanks

Add NTFS write support to Mac OS instead.
MacFUSE +3G is a good start.

Color issues with Business Cards and Vista Print (Ps & Ai)

So I use Vista Print for my business cards, quick, easy and affordable.
I had some graphics that could not be reproduced in Ai very easily so I downloaded the Vista Print .PSD template and worked off of that.
When the cards came in color was correct but the font was not good. Not very clear and there was digital noise around the edges, so not crisp.
So I downloaded the Ai template from VP, reproduced the card in Ai and just dropped the logo in on the canvas and redid all the text in Ai.
When I got these cards in, the font looked much better and crisp, but all my colors were off. My navy blues were not navy-purplish looking. Side by side, it was a big difference.
I didn't change any color profiles I even made sure the CMYK values from the original photoshop file matched exactly to the Ai file.
So question is, why would the Ai file print differently if the CMYK color values were the exact same? It makes no sense to me. Was it perhaps how I saved the Ai files? There are so many options when saving it's a bit overwhelming.

Believe it or not, the Vista Print cards could be color copies. Try and post a screen shot of each card so we can see the differences. Not sure how you proofed the card redo out of Illustrator and/or what you used to print the redo card. The problem with Vista Print is quality control. You say the card color is accurate in the VP cards. However, did you proof the card before sending it to VP? If you did, how?

Windows 7 and blinking cursor issue...

(Just an FYI...I originally posted this in the MBP forum because I didn't realize there was a bootcamp forum)
I recently had my computer repaired through AppleCare. They replaced the logic board, top cover, a connector and battery. When I first got the computer back, I turned it on, booted to the Mac partition, everything was good. I then booted to Windows with the Bootcamp partition and everything was good. Even the stuff I had open before the damage were still up. I shut it down, boxed everything up and didn't touch it until I got home.
When I got home, I booted up Windows 7 and now all I get is it boots to a black screen with the cursor. I ran the repair utility, tried safe mode and it says no errors are found, however, it still won't load. I haven't figured out why it booted up the first time I got the computer back but now it won't do anything. I never got a chance to back everything up because my computer was damaged from liquid damage, but I can still see all the files on my Bootcamp partition through finder from the Mac side.
I don't know exactly why it's doing this or what to search to find an answer to the problem. When I first got my MBP, I installed Windows 7 through and upgrade disc from my job, so I don't know what my next steps should be.
Other steps:
Tried WinClone to copy the drive and it gave me an error message on the log.
Tried to run system repair several times and it came back with no errors. Same for memory diagnostic tool. Everytime I run the repairs, it finds no errors but still boots up to the black screen with cursor. Ugh, this is so frustrating.
Right now I have most of my files backed up on my external drive, but I still want to find a way to clone the drive and then it looks like my only choice is to do a clean install. How do I do that? Someone else set up the partition for me when I got my computer, so I don't know how to remove the version of Windows 7 to do a clean install or if I have to start messing with the partition. I only have an upgrade disk.
Any more thoughts? I thought about calling AppleCare but I doubt they'd help since it's Windows 7, but it was not doing this before the repair. I guess I'm lucky I still have access to the files.

Leeopard huh?
You need Snow Leopard w. 10.6.x to get 3.0.
If it works and no issues fine though probably the first time I have read someone did.
BC 2.2 was more about XP and some support for Vista.

Windows 8 and Bonjour Printer

All my Windows 7 computers recognize the USB printer connected to my AirPort Extreme via Bonjour, but my new Windows 8 laptop cannot find it. Does anyone has the same issue? Does anyone has a solution? Thanks.

I second to this one.
Instructions fromthat site work without using Bonjour.
You pretty much create a new TCP/IP printer port, enter the AirPort's IP address in, pick a eneric network card, pick a driver for your printer and you're done.

I have just discovered that you don't even need Bonjour to print!
If your printer is plugged in via a USB connection to your Airport then just go to this site and follow these steps.
http://tech.ifelix.net/1004.html
Yes - I know it says it's for XP but I have just done on both a Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptop.
Read carefully and follow the instructions - don't just follow the pictures - and it will work like a dream.
I have never been able to get Bonjour working on Win 8 although it was working on Win 7 until last week when I installed all the lastest updates and then . . . ZILCH! Prints would spool but not print.
This method is quicker for printer too rather than using Bonjour.

Windows 7 and Wireless Printing

We have two xp machines that print fine to a wireless printer through wireless sonicpoints. But when we print through the W7 it only prints half a page and restarts. The printer is completely recognized on W7, I have turned off and on the Windows firewall and made exception. I'm wondering if there is some issue between W7 and the Sonicpoints. The sonicpoints have been recently upgraded on their firmware Any help would be appreciated.

OK, sorry about that.
Do you have a security system firewall that you can disable to test (Norton, McAfee, etc.)?
I assume you can type the printer's IP address into a web browser and "see" it?

Windows 7 and Director - compatibility issues?

I have the old Macromedia Director 7 and Lingo which worked great on XP and Vista - unfortunately it won't work at all on my Windows 7 Home Premium! I also have Adobe PageMaker 6.5 which also does not like Windows 7 (but as it worked well on the previous Windows versions I was loathe to purchase an upgrade).
I have tried to download the trial versions of the newer Director but nothing happens after you press the 'download' button - frustrating! I have removed the pop up bocker - I have even turned off my anti-virus software incase that was the issue - nothing works!
Is there ANYTHING happening in the future which will allow these products or their newer versions to run effectively on Windows 7?? This is 2012 for goodness sake - surely an update/upgrade would have been on the drawing board to keep pace with Microsoft?
If someone can assist me I would gratefully appreciate it!
Sahra K

I was just wondering, did you ever get any answers to this. I'm having the same problems with both Director 8.5 and DirectorMX 2004

Dual booting Windows 7 and Vista on dv9620 on dual hard drives

Hi this might look like a repeat question but i haven't seen it answered by anyone that has tried it.
I downloaded the release candidate of Windows 7 and i want to dual boot it on my notebook.
The drives I have available are Disc0 which holds C: (the drive running Vista) and E: the HP_Recovery partition.
Then I have Disc1 which holds D: the Data drive and nothing else.
I want to run Windows 7 on the D: drive So can anyone who has done this tell me how they did it? Most of the dual booting how to's I've seen are for for booting on seperate partitions a single hard drive and because i'm something of a novice to this I would like some advice with more reference to my situation.

Hello and welcome,
You can probably finagle the partitions to allow for dual boot: copy the contents of D: to C: and delete D:, for instance. Speculating, since I don't have an IdeaPad to test on. You usually/probably/maybe lose the OneKey Recovery feature if you touch the partitions.
Others here on the Linux board may have been able to preserve OKR, but I'll leave that to them to describe since I haven't done it.
Long way of leading up to the question: is it sufficient to run Linux in a virtual machine, or as a WUBI install within windows? That keeps things simple and makes backups much easier as well.
Whatever you do, burn your recovery media first. Now.
