Hello rambo7552,
Knowing what computer and printer you have may help.
Have you tried completely uninstalling all the software and drivers for the printer and reinstalling everything or did you just uninstall the driver?

Printer wont pick up 6 x 4 photo paper

When we first tried to print from the computer on 6 x 4 paper, the printer did so, but since then, it will not pick up 6x4 paper,but it will print onto A4. When requested to print onto 6x4 paper from the computer it picks up A4 each time. We have tried disconnecting and it still wont pick up 6x4.

Hi,
Are you using Windows 7 on your laptop and what printer model do you have?
If you're using wndows 7, then you should be able to specify the paper source as in the screen shot below. The main tray is usually A4 and the photo tray would normally contain the 6 x 4 photo paper.
Just to clarify one other point: when you say that the printer refuses to pick up the paper, is the printer not printing anything or just printing to a different paper source?

Windows Vista 32 wont pick up Zen Mozaic, HELP!!!

Hi.
I recently got the Zen Mozaic 4gb. I download the software from the disc and installed it. The player itself has firmware version .04.06 installed but i cant even update that as the PC wont pick it up. Ive checked in the device manager and it isnt even showing there. I know the USB port is working.
I have windows vista home premium, 32 bit OS.
Anyone?

Hello Tazdogue,
Welcome to Creative forums,
Are you using a USB hub? If yes, try connecting it directly to your computer. If you are connecting your player at the front ports, try using the rear USB port. A lot of people are reporting having detection issues when using the front USB ports. Another thing you can also try is use another USB cable (if you have a spare cable). See if that hel
ps.

I can not print from my windows xp pc to my 5520 printer

i can not print from my windows xp pc to my 5520 printer. im on the network and pass all online tests but my computer wont recognize the printer. i can do the eprint or print from a phone or even send an email to the printer. all that is fine its just my computer wont seem to pick up the printer.
ive tried everything, cd, usb,online help, uninstall/reinstall. nothing seems to work...
only issue it might be is that my pc is also on a wifi network.

Hi Bigchief247,
I understand that you're having issues with printer printing from your computer. I would try the Hp Print and Scan Doctor it fixes many common printer problems.

Why wont my PDF's print

Should have registered under the name Frustration! I am using Windows 7, Adobe Reader X and am on a wireless network. Every other program prints (Office 2010) but the PDF's won't. There is no error message and the print window has nothing queued. The printer is cabled to a Mac Pro.
I have tried all the Adobe recommendations, updated drivers etc and still no results. Any advice appreciated

It says "the document has features not supported in this reader" and I haven't been able to open it in literally anything except for on my friend's laptop, nothing on my tablet will open it and there isn't many things I can download on the tablet instead

What error messages are you seeing (if any) when trying to open the PDF file with Adobe Reader Touch?
Have you been able to open that PDF file with other PDF software, e.g. Adobe Reader XI?

*BOOT CAMP* Windows XP not picking up wireless signal on Lion

I just got a new iMac two days ago and was able to install Windows XP from my old Dell Latitude boot disk. Yes, I thought it was odd... But it worked. I do understand that Lion only provides Windows 7 drivers in Boot Camp Assistant, but I was able to install Boot Camp 3.0 and 3.1 drivers for XP, right from the Apple Support Boot Camp driver link.
Well... My main issue lies here... When I switch to the XP side, it wont pick up a wireless signal. That's all I need so that I can start updating Windows from the internet, but it is not picking anything up.
I'm assuming that I am just missing the driver, but like I said, I installed the drivers provided by Apple. This is very frustrating and am not sure what to do.
Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
Brian

This appears to be a problem with some of the newest MacBooks. There are several posts on this issue. It is possible that, as you seem to have noticed, switching to an NTFS formatted partition will solve the problem. See e.g. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5947955&#5947955

It's about the settings in the printer properties. Set it to the color picture paper you are suing and all you problems will go away. I was also going to take it back till my 15 year old suggested using the properties.

WIndows 7 64-bit system printing to a Windows 2000 server configured as a print server

Is there any way to configure a new Windows 7 64-bit computer to use a Windows 2000 server configured as a print server ?
The printer that I would like to connect to is an HP 4240n LaserJet. I appears that there is only a 64-bit Universal Print Driver available. The server currently uses HP 32-bit PCL5e or PCL6 drivers for all other connected computers. Connection is through a Hewlett-Packard Network Port, using DLC/LLC transport for the embedded 4240n print server.
Installing the HP 64-bit UPD to the WIndows 7 64-bit system, and then attempting to redirect the local port to the Win2k network print server has not worked.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi:
See if this works...
Run msconfig.
In the System Configuration screen, Boot tab, Advanced Options, if there is a check mark in the box next to Maximum memory. Remove that checkmark and save your changes.
Reboot and hopefully Windows recognises all the Ram ( minus the reserved ) after restarting.
Please give that a try, and post back and let us know if that frees up some system memory for you.

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

Cisco vpn client..
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

I followed the FAQ troubleshooting and that didn't help

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Hi azza675,
ExportPDF converts PDF files to Word and Excel formats (and several others). What you describe, sounds like you're trying to convert a file *to* PDF. Did you ever start a trial of Acrobat, perhaps? (Whereas you can create PDFs with Acrobat, ExportPDF doesn't let you convert files to PDF.)
What happens when you log in directly to ExportPDF at https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf?
Best,
Sara
