Work-around for Add Printer pane not working

The problem I've had to deal with is that the Add Printer pane does not see any printers on the network, even ones that are already installed and working properly. The only solution I found is to use another computer with Leopard and get the printer IP address. Entering that makes everything work (proper driver found, print functioning properly).
The Add Printer pane still cannot see the 2 HP Laserjets on the Ethernet or the Brother laser printer on USB. All three are listed in the installed Printers list. All three print. The Add Printer list Default pane is always blank. I can print but it looks like I won't be able to go to a new location and find the network printers without their IP addresses.

Stephen,
If your question is answered already, disregard. If not, given that the USB printers are not showing up either it sounds like a corrupt prefs file. If you right click on any of the printers in the list of printers and then select "Reset printing system.." from the list, it will delete all the preferences (and unfortunately all the print queues). At that point you should be seeing the printers in the Add Printer window again.
Note however that if your HP LaserJets are old ones, you may not see them in the list even after doing this since AppleTalk is not included in Snow Leopard anymore. For those devices you'll need to manually add the printer queues using IP like you did.
Just trying to help.

Work around for radio tuner service not working

A work around for the lack of radio tuner service that has appearently hit Itunes versions lower than 11.
We all hope that Apple will restore Radio Tuner Service for us legacy products users soon, but I've been thrown under the bus more than once by Apple in the last 25 yrs to put much hope in that (I started with an Apple III w/a Z80 card running C/PM, yeah I'm that old)
Have your iTunes and your favorite browser open.
In your browser go to http://vtuner.com/setupapp/guide/asp/BrowseStations/startpage.asp
This will give you a list of Genre's, etc of streaming internet stations.
When you select a genre you'll get a list of stations that shows station ID, what type of feed codec and data rate.
Select any of the AAC or MP3 feeds.
Select play.
This will send a small download file to your computer containing the selected feeds URL.
Your computer will ask what app to use to open the file, select iTunes.
This will automatically open a file called Internet Songs at the end of Playlists in iTunes (if you don't already have one), and will install the URL there.
All the stations you selected will now be permanently stored in Internet Songs.
Viola, your very own custom personal internet radio playlist!

Dual Core 2Ghz G5, 9.22/10.4.11/10.5.8

Apperently iTunes 11 is not affected (Apple stil makes iTunes11 for the 14 yr old Microsoft XP OS, but not for anything PPCs can run. Go figure)
"Next door" to Steve was metaphoric, he lived in Los Altos, about 15 miles away, but he cast a big shadow!
On 9.2.1/10.4.11 differences, some time in the past someone selected 'save file' and checked the box 'don't ask again' on your computers dialog box. That's why you're not given a choice wih the file downloads. I would think that selection should be able to be reversed.
iTunes 9.2.1/OS10.4.11 puts those downloaded URLs into the Music Libary of iTunes, no matter if it's opened directly, or you click on the file on your desktop. You can create a new playlist, highlight the selection in the Music Libary, and drag it to your new playlist to keep alll the steaming URLs together. NOTE, this only creates an alias, the URL copied by iTunes must remain in the Music Libary. You can then delete the the files on the desktop, if you want. I did multiple stations this way in 9.2.1, they all show in either the new playlist created, or in the Music Libary, and remain after the desktop files are deleted and trash emptied.
You can switch sations by double clicking them. Another note, all the URLs were all from vtune.
I hope this helps.
PS, I forgot how clunky Tiger is compared to Leopard...

URGENT - work around for Epson printer driver!

I'm urgently looking for a work around for Epson Stylus Office TX600FW printer/scanner multifunction drivers (not currently available) for Lion OS 10.7. Any options avaiable?

I'm not sure if this will work, in fact I have my doubts, but it's worth a try if there's no other option - I suspect you've already thought of this though...
I wondered about trying this myself - can you re-install SL on an external, if you don't have a backup copy of it still around, and download the Epson drivers to that, move the docs that you need to print and work from there?

Solution for some printer that not working with AE

simple reason, this issue caused by Apple's Bonjour,
it search for wireless printer and installed wrong driver,
simply go to properties of your wireless priter(which conrrected with AE),
select a correct driver.

Kindly suggest the reason for this behavior,
Any permission should be set in the application to make it work when antivirus is "ON"
A lot of things won't work with "anti-virus" junk installed on a Mac. If you want to run anti-virus software, get a Windows PC to run it on.
Get rid of Symantec and let your Mac work as it's designed to work - without being burdened by useless garbage.

Voice chat for LAN Working :) , but For Internet Voice Chat Not Working

Hi, all I have developed voice chat for lan , but when i try to connect to internet it doesn't working. Pls let me know the reason why is it so?
I am behind the Firewall and firewall doesn't allow me to connect to server or transmit RTP data to the another User. Why is it So. Please Reply As Soon As Possible!!!!

That's exactly what i am talking about. Your IP address is private. Means, it is not routable outside your organization. Means, that you cannot receive anything from outside, because technically this private address does not exist outside your network.
However, you might be able to send audio to someone outside who has public IP address (PLEASE, read up about private and public IPv4 addresses and NAT in order to understand what your problem is. Just one Wiki page that you can dig up in Google.com).
Now you simply cannot use your chat from inside your organization to chat with outside people. It will not work. You need public IP addresses in both ends (i.e. you and remote party) + firewall rules must allow UDP traffic for certain ports, that your program uses.
If you want to overcome private addressing problem manually, i dont know how to do it. But what i know for sure is that it would be painful. My application that i made uses a VoIP server (SIP server and an RTP proxy server). These servers do private address handling (NAT handling) for my audio/video streams.
You have an option though. Go to your network admin and lick his/her brain. Ask for a public IP address (they might have some in reserve). Do the same thing at the remote end.

Have you checked the Print Service log in event viewer?
Here's How.
I have the Microsoft XPS driver on my clients, so I use that fact to my advantage below.
Click Start Button/Administrative Tools/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Services Manager on the RDSH server
Click the Sessions tab. PC’s are listed Under Client Name by their computer name. Take Note of the corresponding
ID. We will use this to locate the Printer information in the Event Log.
In the Event Log open Application and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Print Service/Admin/ and Find the Event ID 823 entry that has the corresponding ID from the sessions tab you previously noted.
This Event Log Entry is created at Logon and you can only get the session ID when they are logged in.
This tells you what client printer was mapped for the client. The name that appears is the name of the Printer that was set on the client when the printer was installed.
See if you see any errors here.
If you see Event Id 823 with the following message “The default printer was changed to Microsoft XPS Document Writer,winspool,Ne00:. See the event user data for context information.” Twice in a row with no other messages in between, and the first occurs
at the time the user logged in, then their printer was not properly redirected.
You see the Microsoft XPS driver mapped for each session prior to Easy Print redirecting the client machine’s Default Printer.
Since your printer is the HP 1020 I would bet the driver on the client does not work with Easyprint. I would try the the HP Universal Print Driver or the driver for a printer that is very close, like the HP 1018.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Work around for server not found problems on FF36

I have found a work around for all the people having server not found problems with FF36.
If you manually set your network adapter DNS to an external DNS server (as opposed to your local ISP) then the problem goes away. I set mine to use the two google DNS servers:
Preferred: 8.8.8.8
Alternate: 8.8.4.4
Not a clue why this works but it is 100% successful on my desktop PC, whereas before I could hardly connect to a webpage with FF36 without multiple page refreshes and much frustration, even though FF35 was fine and rolling back to FF35 was also fine.
Something has changed in FF36 and either the way it handles DNS or the way it works with some network adapters.
It is nothing to do with add-ons, profiles or firewall software as I have tried all of these things and only the DNS change made a difference. I even copied over a full working profile and the program files directory for Mozilla from my portable which was having no problems and the problem still existed on the desktop, which is why I started looking at the network adapater since everything else between the working PC and the non working one was identical.
Hopefully this will help the developers to pin down the real cause of the problem and fix it in the next release.

Well done. Thanks for finding that.
That is not only assigned but has an approved patch included in the scheduled Fx36.0.1 release so it should be fixed in few days, watch out for the upgrade.
* Bug 1093983 - DNS resolver should not use 'ANY' to get cached records for TTL <sup>[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1093983#c35 c#35]</sup>
* https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Channels/Meetings/2015-03-03#Schedule_Update
With the bug now fixed it would not really be appropriate to add further comment. I do now see another related bug assigned but not being fast tracked, so if all goes well that will probably land in Firefox 39.

PowerPoint add-in is not working when installed for All Users using msi installer.

Hi All,
I have created PowerPoint add-in using c#-vsto. I have created msi installer to install this add-in with following two options:
1. Just me
2. Everyone
However, add-in is not working properly (Events and custom task panes are not working).
I have created registry key as below
1. for "Everyone" : HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Powerpoint\Addins\MyAdd-in
2. for Just me : HKPU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Powerpoint\Addins\MyAdd-in
But when I set InstallAllUsersVisible property to False (When add-in is installed only for current user ), then add-in works fine for current user.
Please let me know if anything is missing!!!
Thanks

Hi,
This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office, the issue is more related to develop the add-in, you'd better post your question to the MSDN forum for VSTO
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=vsto&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Any work-around for non-Lion-supported HP LaserJet printer?

I just upgraded to Lion, and while love many of the features (the new mail app is great), I just discovered that my 6-month-old HP LaserJet CP1525nw printer apparently isn't compatible with Lion. Does anyone have any work-arounds for generic drivers that might resolve this. As inexpensive as Lion is, I'd hate to have to buy a new printer just so I can take advantage of Lion funcationality and full iCloud capabilities. Thanks.

In preparing to install the drivers for the CP1510 series, I decided to download and reinstall the package for the CP1520 series. First, I also installed the firmware update, which had been released since I purchased my printer. Then I reinstalled the drivers using System Preferences, etc.
Lo and behold, the printer now works. For some reason, after the upgrade to Lion, the drivers for my CP1525nw stopped working, even though all of my other printers (1610, 2510, 2610, 2605dn) performed just fine without any jiggering after the Lion upgrade.
Curiously, my first attempt to download the software package for the CP1525nw wouldn't download, launching a dialog that says the driver isn't supported for this operating system. The HP website does not include the CP1525nw in the list of supported LaserJets, but elsewhere paradoxically claims all printers supported for Snow Leopard should also run on Lion, which appears to be true for the CP1525nw.
Go figure. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. It got me headed in the right direction.

HP Printer Assistant not working for HP Envy 120

Hi,
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 with a 64-bit operating system and I am experiencing an issue with the HP Printer Assistant, in that it will not open when I click on the desktop icon, nor when I go to the HP folder located in All Programs and select it from there.
My son's laptop, however, will open it without any problems at all. I have tried un-installing and re-installing the full feature software and drivers from the HP website, but that makes no difference whatsoever. The All-in-One device itself works fine; I can print from it and also use the scan icon in the HP folder in All Programs, but I prefer to use the Printer Assistant as it gives me many more options. The last time I ran it, it worked fine and that was only a couple of months ago.
I would appreciate any help, as this is starting to get frustrating and irritating; this is the first time that I have had any sort of trouble with an HP product and, hopefully, there will be someone out there who can solve this issue.
Thanks in advance

Work around for iTunes not working with shuttle

Well, I have found a work around for the iTunes not working the the Shuttle. It is not pretty, and many of you may not choose to follow my lead. This procedure has a lot of dumb steps in it, but in the end, one can copy data/songs to a Shuttle.
It involves removing the current iTunes and replacing it with a version that also had a bug in it.( I told you it ain't pretty).
Procedure:
1. Go to this url: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/itunes802forwindows.html
2. Download the old 8.0 version of iTunes for Windows.
3. Remove the current iTunes from your computer. Note after you run the remove utility in Windows, you need to delete the iTune library that isn't removed.
4. Install iTunes 8.0
Here is where it gets dumb.
This version of iTunes has a bug with the USB interface, but there is an easy work around.
5. Make sure the Shuttle is not connected when you launch iTunes.
6. After iTunes comeup, attach the Shuttle.
7. iTunes should see your Shuttle.
8. Select the music you want to upload, and drag it to the Shuttle.
9. iTunes will just sit there, so you need to get its attention. To get its attention you must disconnect and reconnect one of your USB devices, just not the Shuttle. Some folks do their mouse, one used a USB drive, and another on used is GPS because he was working from a laptop and did not have a mouse.
10. In a few moments, iTunes will do its thing and copy your data to the Shuttle. You must do this routine for each copy, so if you develop a Play List, you only have to do step 9 once.
The getting the old copy of iTunes was my idea, but a gentleman from a year ago figured out the mouse step.
I am now a happy camper, my Shuttle is full of music again.
However, I hope Apple finds a fix for the 8.2 problem soon.
Take care all.

I stand corrected on the name. By the time I figured out how to copy the songs I had a few other names in mind.
One of the first things I tried was the Reset utility. After the iTunes restore did not work, I went looking for something else. After using the utility, I connected the iPod and resynced. I had left the Autofill box checked. iTunes autofilled the iPod. I deleted those songs and tried to put a different play list in. It would not copy the songs, iTunes said there was no room even though the play list for the shuffle was empty. I looked at the settings screen and it said the iPod was full. I synced the iPod to my Mac, and that got rid of the "full" indication. That is when I started looking for an older version of iTunes, unfortunately all I could find is a version with the USB bug.

Print Screen not working for user but working for Administrator

Satellite A100 Laptop Print Screen Not working for USER but is working for Administrator[ New ]

Hi I am new to this forum and am asking for your help. We are sharing a computer, the PrtSc key is working for the Administrator but not when we switch users. We have tried everything that we can think of: From opening a the page(S) we want to paste to not opening the pages. My most common usage is to PrtSc and paste it into an email , but barring that we have tried opening a page in notes, documents, word etc . Nothing seems to work. I do not get an error message , it just won't paste. Since we are not computer literate we are hoping you can help us with a solution . Thanks in Advance .

Just upgraded my Cannon MP Navigator App for my multi-purpose printer/scanner not working correctlly

After upgrading to Yosemite MP Navigator App for my Cannon scanner not working properly, Buttons are not active and do not respond .... it works on my laptop with Mavericks ... I will be reverting back to Mavericks .. I use my Scanner a lot . Apple please fix this problem.

I have the same problem with a Canon MP530 under Yosemite. I'm not sure why Canon can't get their act together to have updated drivers and software. Very aggravating.
I can confirm that pmt513's workaround works. That's fine for single pages. But what about batch scanning?
Here's another partial workaround. The main MP Navigator interface still allows you to do the scanning, both single pages and batches. You just can't save, send, or export those scans. But the temporary files are on your disk in TIF format. If you don't mind taking those and converting them to PDF or JPG (which you can do in Preview), then just look in the following folder to the files:
~/Library/Caches/Temporaryitems/MP Navigator 2.2/SCN_MFP
I have put an alias to it on my desktop so that I can easily access the scans. Be sure to copy the TIF files out before you close (and thus clear) the MP Navigator window as that also clears the files from that cache folder.
I hope this helps some of you.

Add Row Button Not Working

I've read the threads and done numerous searches. Not sure why the add row button isn't working, other buttons work.
Here's what I've found and done.
Print button subform - positioned (have tried flowed, too) allow page breaks
Table: body rows vary   -    Insert wrap in subform - subform flowed - allow page breaks
     row 1 binding - repeat row for each data item - min 1, max 25 (why won't it keep an initial count when I try putting in 1 or 0?)
Form properties - preview in dynamic PDF, interactive   -   PDF render format dynamic xml, run in 9.0 or later (to remove errors)
Insert Row Button in Subform Row 1 Cell 1 (not counting header row) on click, JavaScript run at client tried table.row1.instancemanager.addinstance(1);   also tried full path

Is my hierarchy correct?
How to set Form1 to flow? Object says mixed objects with no options
Many thanks for your assistance! Leslie

Hi Leslie,
There could be a few things.
First check that the form is saved as Dynamic XML in the save as dialog. If it is saved as Static the add instance will not work.
Make sure that the object you are targetting is set to repeat in the Object > Binding tab
Check your syntax in the script editor (button above the editor). Some of your post is not camel case. For example addInstance and instanceManager. Note the capital letter for the second word.
If you could share your form it would be easier to track down what the problem is. You can use Acrobat.com or YouSendIt.com or some other file sharing site. Just remember to post the published URL.
Good luck,
Niall
