Windows 8.1 & IR C3100 not functioning together

We have used our IR C3100 for years on our small business network through ethernet cable and wireless with Windows XP and 7.  September of 2013 I purchased a new laptop with Windows 8 (x64).  I set up the appropriate driver and it printed to the C3100 and worked fine.  Then I updated to Windows 8.1 (x64), but didn't use the office C3100 printer right away.  When I did, I ran into a problem.  My laptop sees the C3100, and the C3100 sees my laptop.  I can print something on my laptop, and it says the printer is "Ready" and it sends it off to print and acts like everthing printed just fine. . .just as if it printed.  However, nothing actually prints on the C3100, and the C3100 doesn't even make a sound or recognition that something was sent to it.  I purchased another new computer (desktop) for the office two weeks ago with Windows 8 (x64), and upgraded it right away to Windows 8.1 (x64).  I added the driver that your Canon website says I should add (PS3_v14.00_Setup_x64), and guess what?  The same problem occurs.  Both of my Window's 8.1 computers act as if everything is fine and is marrily printing away, but nothing comes out the printer.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver on my laptop, but to the same outcome.  My old Windows XP desktops still print just fine to the C3100, so my only assumption is that it has something to do with the driver not working properly with Windows 8.1.  The business with whom we had the contract to maintain our C3100 will no longer give us a contract because they say it's too old and they won't mess with it, so I can't get any help from them.  At some point we will eventually have to buy a new printer, but for now the C3100 is working just fine (when it does print) and our non-profit business is trying to save every penny we can.  So I'm kind of dependent on Canon to help me.  I did send Canon an email to "Support", but they responded by saying this is an issue they can't help me with, and I should talk to the business we have a contract with (which we don't).  So I'm stuck.  Can you help please?  Thank you.

Hi Danny,
OK, I did what you said.  The dealer tech guy told me my C3100 doesn't support a Post Script drive, which is all you have on your download website for the ir C3100 under Windows 8 or 8.1, and that what I need is the UFR II v14.00 drive, even though it doesn't say it specifically supports the C3100.  So I downloaded the UFR II v14.00 drive, and ran set up, but of course it can't find my C3100.  So I also did as the dealer tech said, which is to go to my Printers and Devices, click Add Printer, pick my C3100 under it's IP address, and under "Have Disk" browse to the downloaded UFR II v14.00 file and install it.  I did so, but it acts just like the post script drive - I can see it and print to it, but the printer itself doesn't respond.  If he can't help me, and you can't help me, who can???  Do you have a non-post script driver that works for Windows 8.1 for my ir C3100?  Please????

  • Windows 8.1 Metro Applications not functioning over VPN

    Has anyone been able to resolve this in a corporate environment?  We are not looking for loopback exemptions with fiddler, but rather a secure method to configure metro applications to use a proxy.  If we manually set the proxy configuration, it
    works fine but of course breaks connectivity off VPN.  I've configured a pac file as this >
    function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
     if ((isPlainHostName(host) ||
     dnsDomainIs(host, "corporatewebsite.com")) &&
     !localHostOrDomainIs(host, "corporatewebsite1.com") &&
     !localHostOrDomainIS(host, "corporatewebsite2.com") &&
     !localHostOrDoaminIs(host, "corporatewebsite3.com"))
     alert("This connection is going direct.")
     return "DIRECT";
     else{
     alert("This connection is going through proxy.")
     return "PROXY proxyaddress.com:9400";
    When I configure a pac file under automatic settings in Internet Explorer, websites load correctly both internal and external.  When loading metro applications, internet connectivity fails.  I've also noticed that
    netsh winhttp show shows that I'm still configured direct connection.
    If I open fiddler and enable exemptions for Win8 metro apps, they work fine, but of course this 1) blows security 2) makes it very difficult to manage, especially 3rd party apps.
    Any ideas?  Has anyone solved this?  Every post I've looked at has very little response back from Microsoft as to a proper configuration for this.   Thanks guys.
    Ryan

    Hi,
    This is a continual problem indeed. As far as I know, there is still no a effective solution with APP network during some VPN connected.
    While, Untill now, if you need to set proxy for Store APP separately, you can make setting through Group Policy.

  • ADE 2.0 does not function

    Digital editions 2.0 seems to install on my laptop running Windows XP but it does not function.  It does function on another computer running Windows 7. What can i do?

    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • How do I get Fireworks CS3 to work in Windows 7? After installation my internet would not function.

    I installed
    Fireworks CS3 in the new Windows 7.  It seemed to function well.  After a reboot I noticed my internet would not work.  I attempted to resolve the matter but was unsuccessful.  Has anybody had this problem?  If so what is the fix.

    Is Windows 64bit or 32bit?
    I've heard that 64bit Win7 will not play well with Fireworks CS3. Try to run Fireworks CS3 in some WinXP Compatibility Mode in Win7 -- I think this mode is available in Win7 Pro and Ultimate...
    Hope this helps...
    Cheers!

  • Windows says "device is not functioning" and "Windows does not recognize"

    I lost my USB dock connector cable for my ipod. I just went out today and bought a brand new "Cygnett GrooveLink Strech Retractable USB Cable for iPod". I was pumped when I came home to finally be able to add music to my ipod again, but alas when I plug the iPod in, Windows pops up saying that the device is not functional and that Windows does not recognize it. I tried everything from rebooting the iPod to re-downloading iTunes and iPod updater. After searching this site for the past few hours, I figured I'd try and possibly find some real answers here. Please Help!!

    Hey everyone,
    I had the same problems all of you are having. I
    just got a 5th generation video ipod. For a few
    days, my computer a) wouldn't recognize it; b) froze
    up when I connected it; c) mistook it for a mass
    storage device ("drive E"). I bought a USB 2.0
    notebook card which didn't work either and actually
    seemed to make the problem worse because when I
    connected the iPod to it my computer froze up.
    I was very confused because my new iPod worked on my
    brother's computer--which is much older than mine but
    still recognized the iPod and connected to it.
    Then I noticed that my brother's computer is running
    an older version of the ipod software. I used his
    disk to install "Ipod Updater 2005-06-26" rather than
    the new version of the software on the Apple Web
    site. Then I plugged my iPod into a USB 1.1 port.
    To my surprise, my computer finally recognized the
    iPod and is now loading music onto it. I cannot
    believe this worked. I wonder if the latest version
    of the software is faulty in some way.
    Try it! I hope it will work for you too. You will
    need an older version of the iPod updater software,
    so borrow it from a friend with an older ipod.
    I am having this problem also...It will work fine on the 1.1 but when i plug it into the 2.0 it has trouble recognizing it...

    if you're using the same computer hardware to reinstall your cs3, you don't need to deactivate first.
    but if there's a significant hardware change you can ask adobe support for an activation count reset. contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

    I'm the only person that needs to save the Titles?
    I do it sometimes when I want to reuse a title in more than one project.
    When you export out the Titles, what happens then?
    Only then does it become a separate file, suitable for importing into other projects.  This is NOT necessary to export your finished video,  it's only necessary if you want to reuse the title in other projects.
    The Titles are photos and scrolling words, that are used together as a memoriam in different projects. So having the Titles as separate files on the HD is pretty much essential.
    That's more than just a title, which in PP usually contains only text.  For something this complex, it might be better to create a base project or template that contains all the elements you want to reuse, and then start new projects with that, renaming to a new project name immediately after opening the template.
    For example, I have an HD Wedding project that contains all my sequences, graphics and titles ready to go in organized bins.  I start by opening that project and do a Save As... using the couple's last name.  That way each new project starts with the elements I need and I don't have to recreate them all the time.

  • Ath5k making wireless not functional on Windows?

    I used to have Windows XP and my AR5007EG worked just fine.
    Then, I uninstalled it, stayed just with Arch for some time and now I am dual booting xp and arch.
    The thing is: wireless is not functional anymore on XP; it's recognized and the light is blinking but it doesn't find any network (and there's something like ~30 visible from here).
    I'm pretty sure this is not a driver problem, since I tried with ~10 driver versions ranging from 5.6 (2007) to 10.0 (2012) and all of them got the same result. And, well, the device used to work with this same version of Windows, with one of those drivers, and it's definitely not broken, since it works under Linux.
    I was wondering if it is possible that the ath5k driver on arch is leaving my device on some kind of state/mode, such that it doesn't work properly on Windows?
    I'm asking since AFAIK this device doesn't have an open specification and so I really don't trust this ath5k driver, since it was probably done by reverse engineering, I suppose.

    Highly doubt it.  If you really want to test, you can power down and either remove the battery if a laptop, or unplug if a desktop.  Wait 60 sec or so and boot into windows to see if functional.

  • I do not want the learner to be able to click through the project until they hear the audio recorded on each slide, however I also would like them to have click to advance to the next slide.  Is there a way to set up these 2 functions together?

    I do not want the learner to be able to click through the project until they hear the audio recorded on each slide, however I also would like them to have click to advance to the next slide.  Is there a way to set up these 2 functions together?

    I don't like that approach for adult learners, cannot refrain from mentioning that.
    Don't use a playbar but create custom navigation. You'll need a next button on each slide that appears after the audio (in timeline). Since slides will not all have the same duration you'll need an individual button per slide, a shape button on master slide or timed for the rest of the project will not be possible.

  • Firefox 5 updated - now it does not function - just a blank window. Pull down menus appear but do not function. Am I missing an obvious point to allow this browser to function?

    I do not understand how to correct this malfunction.
    Operating on MacBook Pro using Mac OSX 10.6.8. Firefox 5 updated - now it does not function - just a blank window. Pull down menus appear but do not function. Am I missing an obvious point to allow this browser to function?

    I suspect it has something to do with the java but not sure
    Just so you'll know, there is no Java on that page.  There is, however JavaScript.  You should know that those two things are different as night and day.
    To fix your problem, change this -
    function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
      var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
      </script>
    </head>
    to this -
    function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
      var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
    -->
