Windows 8.1 Port Monitors

I would like to state up front that I have almost zero experience in the area of printer drivers, port monitors, etc., other than that which I have acquired so far during this project.
I am working on developing a PortMonitor that generates PS files in a predetermined location so that our Workflow system can collect them that I currently have set up to use the ghostpdf.inf file (came with GhostScript), which appears to use the PScript5
DLLs.
I would prefer to not use the ghostpdf.inf, but my own as I also want to be add a custom UI dll to the Printer GUI in order to allow display/control of the options available for our workflow (these options will vary based on the selected workflow).
I need this to be able to install and work on most platforms from Windows 7 upwards for both 32 & 64 bit Windows.
Having created a port I would like to be able to point it at the standard Microsoft PS Class Driver. When I do this on Windows 8.1 I get an error saying "Double check the printer name and make sure that the printer is connected to the network."
As I want this to go to file on disk I don't have a printer to connect to the network.
There are several, related, questions.
1. Can I, and if so how, do I overcome the 'printer connected... ' issue or do I just adapt the ghostpdf.inf file for my own purposes?
2. Can I, in the INF file, specify a custom UI dll so that I can manage the options?
3. Do I need to provided a custom driver dll as well or can I just have a UI dll if I plan to store the settings in the registry and have the port monitor dll pick them up and run with them?
Thanks,
Peter Young

Create TCP port monitor to ping windows server or network device

Dears
I'm trying to create TCP port monitor which tests the ping of a remote network device or windows computer from the watcher node, but I don't know which port to use, is there a specific port number?
Thanks
Mohammad, IT NOC Team

I also would like to share the following article with you. It is a sample script that will use netstat –an to check the TCP ports currently in a listening state on the local system
and parse the output to determine that the defined TCP port is in a listening state.

Varying errors 1722 & 1726: Failed to add port monitor.

Hi guys,
I've got a problem installing the drivers for my litle HP deskjet 3050. I seem to be going around in circles.
I've had this problem before but solved it.....although I can't for the life of me remember how I did it. This time around I just can't seem to knock it on it's head.
The problem began after I reloaded an older system image backup after my HDD crashed (which I've replaced with a hybrid HDD). The printer wouldn't work from the moment I first tried after the reload.
I've followed every instruction on this forum I can find, from uninstalling, stopping/starting the spooler servie, cleaning out temporary files, switching off the firewall (including Norton Antivirus), reinstalling the software (which fails),etc.....nothing seems to get passed the point of the driver installation.
Have you guys got any ideas on what I must be overlooking?
Cheers,
Wayne.

Officejet 8600 Pro - software installation fails - "port monitor" issue

I am trying to resolve a completely different issue with my printer, so I thought it made sense to follow instructions from the very beginning. I have been printing successfully on this printer for a year at least. It is the best working printer I've ever had.
Back to the installation: Using Google Chrome as my browser, I downloaded the full package of software for the 8600. It came to about 118 MB. The installation process went smoothly - until the end. That is when I got the message that installation had failed. The error message said the software was unable to make connection with the "port monitor."
I am going to reboot and retry the installation. If it works, I'll come back and say so.
Thanks to all who assist us.

Hello-
Uninstall the printer completely. Once the printer is uninstalled , try the install again. Make sure to turn off any firewalls that you have on your PC before installing.
Also , when you install the printer, you should run the setup as administrator.
Click on start button (if Windows PC) and type %temp% in the search box.
This should open your temp folder. Once your in the folder , look for a file called 7z and a series of numbers.
Open the folder and scroll down to the bottom. Find the Setup.exe file and right click and run as Administrator.
I hope this helps.

HT3382 Connect from a MacBook Pro's mini display port to a Display Port monitor?

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to connect from a MacBook Pro's mini display port to a Display Port monitor with resolutions higher than 1920 x 1200? It seems Apple does not supply a mini-DP to DP adapter.
However, just as they do not make a mini-DP to HDMI adapter, but they do recommend a Belkin product for this purpose.
Is there any reason that a mini-DP to DP adapter or cable wouldn't work and support high resolutions?
Thanks for your feedback!

Hey tjk,
Thanks for the response.
Do you have any recommendations for a potential set up? The audio output and Apple DVI are on different sides of my MBP, which is alright, I guess I can get two long cables to handle each. I was hoping to just have my MBP closer to where I use it, with a cord nearby plugged in on one side to the HDTV and resting near where I keep my MBP for when I want to use the HDTV as an external monitor.
With a converter like this, you can run video out of the MBP's DVI port, and miniToslink (optical) audio out of the 3.5mm stereo mini jack to the converter, then it will combine the two and output audio and video through HDMI to the monitor.

Otherwise, depending on the TV's inputs, for video you could run DVI to DVI on the TV, or DVI to HDMI to the TV. For audio you could run 3.5mm stereo mini plug from the MBP to RCA adapter on the TV. Toslink/optical is also an option.

Daisy chain two display port monitors (Dell U2913WM) to new Mac mini Thunderbolt?

Everything I read said that I could hook up a display port monitor to a Thunderbolt port on the mac mini. I purchased two display port monitors (Dell U2913WM) that can be daisy chained, and hooked them up. All I get is mirroring. Does anyone know how to turn off mirroring with this setup? I did not get the "uncheck mirroring" option in preferences until I hooked up the second via the HDMI port instead of a daisy chain. The problem with that is, I cannot take advantage of the full resolution through the HDMI. It seems I have wasted my money on two monitors.
Looking for advice on:
1) How to daisy chain these two Dell monitors to the mac mini and turn off mirroring and use an extended desktop, or
2) How to take advantage of the full resolution through HDMI port?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

So re-reading this thread, I now realize you did exactly what I wanted to do but your issue was having a cloned vs. extended desktop. Oops!
I believe your "nothing plugged in" issue is the cable. I'm not sure that TB cables are backwards compatible with DP - I think it's only the ports. Do you see multiple monitors in "System Preferences > Displays" if you hook the monitors up like you described in your OP?
My Dell U2713H arrived today and it works like a charm with the supplied Mini-DP to DP cable. The built-in display on my 13" mid 2009 MBP still works if not in clamshell mode, although I will mostly use mine in my HengeDock. In the OSD of the monitor, you can access "Display Settings > Display Info" and it will show you the DP capability. Mine is only DP 1.1a and I believe to run 2 of these at full resolution you will need the bandwidth in DP 1.2 which includes MST (daisy-chaining). This could be your problem.
Can you access the same menu in your OSD and report back what your DP compatability is?
Thanks!

Can't see video in canvas window on my video Monitor!

I am having trouble seeing the video that is in my canvas and viewer Window on my video monitor. I Have firewire in to my DV Deck and S-video into my monitor. I can see when I play back at DV tape and everything digitizes ok so I know the firewire isn't bad. I have checked the Audio/Video settings and everything seems right with what the manual says to have. Am I missing something somwhere?

I am having trouble seeing the video that is in my canvas and viewer Window on my video monitor.<<</div>
Define "trouble." Can you not see it, or its it just difficult to see? Do you see it only when the playhead is paused? Have you checked to make sure View->External Video->All Frames is checked?

Mapping Yamaha DTXplorer in logic pro - Environment window clicks and Ports

The midi signals for Yamaha DTXplorer are off from GM. The snare (G0) and bass drum (A0) output notes do not trigger snare (D1) and bass drum (C1).
I am a novice to both MAC and Logic Pro.
I have the midi out of the drumset going USB right into my MAC.
I've gotten as far as...
1. Environment window>clicks and Ports
2. Verifying the channels that DTX triggers for snare and bass drum.
3. Changing the output notes to D1 & C1.
Nothing changes with the sound.
In fact, I can change the output notes for drums that are set up correctly and they don't change either.
None of the alterations I do in the Environment window seem to do anything to the midi signals!
Do I need to activate or save the changes? If so, how (precisely)?
Thanks in advance.

You can do that from within the app, under menu Logic Pro X;
Regards

How do I set Firefox to open new windows in my second monitor?

When opening a new window (by right clicking a link and selecting Open in New Window), I would like the window to be opened in my second monitor. Firefox used to do this, but randomly stopped. Now when I open a new window it is opened in my primary monitor. It does not open maximized (just short of being completely maximized). I have tried the fix I used before- moving the un-maximized browser to the second window, closing and re-opening the window. I have also tried moving the un-maximized browser, maximizing, closing and re-opening. Does anyone know how I can restore Firefox to open my new window in the second monitor?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Randomly

Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version.

[SQL QUERY] Select TCP Port Monitors and their related Watcher Node

Hi everybody,
I'm working on a SSRS report and SQL Query, I have no problem to find all my TCP Port Monitor (SCOM 2012 R2) based on the DisplayName, but I can't figure out how to get their related watcher nodes (in my case only 1 computer is a watcher node).
I can't find which table, which field, contains this information..?
Here is the query i started to write (i select * since i still searching for the right column):
SELECT
FROM StateView s
INNER JOIN BaseManagedEntity me on me.BaseManagedEntityId=s.BaseManagedEntityId
INNER JOIN MonitorView mv on mv.Id=s.MonitorId
INNER JOIN ManagedTypeView mtv on mtv.Id=s.TargetManagedEntityType
--where mv.DisplayName like 'Ping Target Status Check%'
AND me.IsDeleted = '0'
where mv.DisplayName like '%tcpmon%'
and mv.LanguageCode = 'ENU'
--and s.HealthState in (@state)
ORDER BY s.Lastmodified DESC
It would be great if someone can help me !
Thanks,
Julien

Hi,
After creating a TCP port monitor, we can find a table for this monitor under operationsmanager database :
SELECT *
FROM [OperationsManager].[dbo].[MT_TCPPortCheck_******WatcherComputersGroup]
You will find the warcher computer group.

New window opens in main monitor when using dual screen

I am using dual screens and my "main screen" is on the left. Ever since Firefox updated to 32.0.1 on Monday I've been having this issue. Before the update, I would have my main Firefox window opened on the left and, when I click on a link to open a new window, it would open on the right screen. Now, it will only open on the left screen, where the other window is. If I drag the original window to the right monitor and open a link, the new window will open on the right monitor. But once I drag the original window back to the left, new links will open in the left again.
Before if I had this problem, I would simply drag the new window to the right monitor, then back to the left and close it. Then click the link again and it would open in the right. Kind of a work around I guess. But since the update, even this will not work. Any suggestions? Or is this a new function of the updated version? Is there a way for me to go back to the previous version? Any help is appreciated!

Hi hollytotheg,
I understand that links opening in new windows are opening in the active screen, not on the right, second monitor.
This may be helpful: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/] the search recommends this.
However I would also recommend suggesting an enhancement in input about dual monitor new window restriction.

Port monitoring question

Hello,
I'm new to the forum and to Network programming in particular.
My question concerns port monitoring. I have a server transmitting UDP packets to a specific port. I need to have a thread that monitors that port and sees that there is traffic going out. Yet, it does not have any connection to the server (different processes), but it knows the IP and port number (actually the IP is the same).
How do I make it happen? Do I need to use a DatagramSocket and read inputs? Could someone advise with a simple code sample?
Thanks

Hi,
Why you dont simply create a DatagramSocket object. And using the receive message you can monitor datagrampackets, and if there is message or not available, simply use the getLength() method from this object.
You can do it in two ways.
One would be creating two threads, one to do the job, and the other one to monitor if there is or not message available. As you should know, the receives method, will block if there is no message available. As u dont want your program to freeze, put this job, in one thread.
The other one, would also be using a timertask, which will monitor the waiting process. If then for x time, it doenst receive, you finish your program.
There are really many many possibilities, u just need the DatagramSocket object, the DataGrampacket and a thread!
If i misunderstood something, you can give me new directions

Best tiling window manager for two monitors

I am looking for a window manager, that will work thus, my main window on my main left monitor, and my stack (my unfocused windows) on my right monitor. Is there a WM that can do this or anyone know one that comes close.
Thanks

If it helps at all, this is a useful way to look at awesome vs. xmonad:
awesome is pretty much a complete WM/DE (it's close to being a full DE) with a task bar, system tray, run dialog, something like nine preconfigured window management algorithms, right-click menus, etc. Through lua scripting it can be fully extended. There's a lot to awesome by default and more often than not users are going to start to tear it down because there's just so much of it.
xmonad out of the box is about 5% WM and 95% toolkit to build your own. It has no DE features upon first start and few layouts. If your objective is to build up your WM and not to tear it down, this is a good place to start. The GHC dependency is irrelevant if this is your goal (assuming you can afford the hard drive space) in my opinion.
One thing that's pretty cool about xmonad that a lot people may not realize is that some of it's developers are involved with Arch. Arch-haskell (the bazillion packages in AUR), Real World Haskell (the book), and GHC are all tied nicely together by some of these people.
What is cool about XMonad too that you can integrate Gnome and KDE easily in XMonad and bluetile is really cool for starters
