Yet another Windows Printing Issue

I've searched the net and these forums all afternoon trying to resolve my printing issues. I've followed all the common links posted by people who are tired of explaining the solutions to no avail. I do have the Gutenprint 5.1.3 driver installed. It doesn't list the 2100TN, but lists the 2100.
Gear:
Windows 2003 Server
HP LaserJet 2100TN Printer attached shared through Win2k computer on the local network.
PowerBook G4 (wireless)
I've been successful printing in the past with this equipment. I'm not sure what happened, except I do remember resetting the print services on my Mac a while ago. That wiped out all my printers. That must have been because I lost print capabilities to the LaserJet.
Any help is appreciated. This is a work environment and I need to print with my Mac fonts.

Greg
Thank you for trying to help. The work environment is a Windows 2003 Server, about 10 Windows 2k computers on a single domain. The HP printer is connected via the printer port on a Reception desk computer and shared as 2100TN. Let's call this computer Shubunkin. Shubunkin shares the printer to all on the network, including (hopefully) my Powerbook G4, which is connected via a wireless router. The G4 accesses the network folders via Samba - smb. The IP address of Shubunkin is in the same subnet as the other computers.
Long story short, I have spent many hours trying to figure this out on multiple occasions. The last time I was connected was by a $100/hr tech that helped sort out some networking issues we were having after a move. At the end of the day, I asked him if he could take a look at my Mac and get the printer working. It took all of 10 min., but I'm not even sure he knew how he did it. He's a Windows tech. I do remember the printer showing up somewhere in the printer browser (AppleTalk maybe) on my Mac and choosing it. It was late and back last October.
I want to be concise; I'm just not sure what information you all need to help. I do appreciate any efforts!!

Yet Another P7N Diamond Issue

Apart from the ongoing problem I am still having in this thread I now have yet another dilemma. I bought a BFG 9800 GT OC2 as a upgrade and installed it the usual way ensuring I connected the 6 pin connector too and the pc does not boot up even after several attempts
Instead I am getting a strange beeping pattern one long beep then some shorts
Please if someone could shed some light I would greatly appreciate it even if its regarding my previous issue.

I use the above Cooler Master PSU, zero issues. Has 4 pci-e connectors, so it's ready for quad sli if I ever want to go that route with my P6n Diamond. Has lots of different connection options, highly rated PSU. Not all Cooler Master PSUs underperform, just have to know what you're buying. The above supply also has 2 8 pin connectors so for instance when my GTX 295 arrives I'll have no trouble (card uses 6/8 pin). Reviews also can be helpful.

Yet Another YouTube Connection Issue

Hi,
Long time Mac user, 1st time poster
Yes, I have the (apparently) infamous "I can't get the YouTube URL to work" problem. I have gone thru a number of the related/similar questions already on the ASC but still no joy.
For the past few months I cannot get my MacBook Pro to even see/load Youtube.com while at home using our iMac as a WiFi hub. It is not a video/Flash issue as I can load/view streaming video from many other sites. If I go on the road, Youtube loads & works fine. Our boy's Window's PC loads & runs Youtube fine from the same iMac at home. Wife has the same issue as me with her MacBook. It is only Youtube that will not load as an URL (as well as any imbedded YouTube videos).
The fact that two MacBooks have the identical problem running off the same WiFi connection (plus that the site works when using other hot spots) leads me to suspect its something on the iMac that is not allowing our MacBooks to load this site, but yet an old PC laptop using the same WiFi as us loads YouTube fine.
On the MacBook end I tried the HTML5, the direct IP, clearing all caches (including Library ones), reseting Safari, trying other browsers (Firefox has the identical problem), etc....and still can't see Youtube.com.
Could there be something on the iMac that is blocking this one site? The iMac is o-l-d & is simply used for WiFi.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!

Even the cheapest wireless router will work much better than what you have as a WiFi access point, and over the life of the device you'll probably save enough on electricity to recover the cost.

Yet another CC billing issue

I had to update the credit card on file with my Creative Cloud account. Since then, the card has not been billed. The last payment was made on October 6. The information on file is correct, and has been for quite some time (even with multiple attempts to re-update it). Now access to my Adobe products has been suspended. I tried calling Adobe multiple times ... once hanging up after 45 minutes of being on hold, another time choosing the call-back option and never receiving a call back, and finally getting the recording that the wait time was between 90 and 120 minutes. One time I got through on chat, but after the unsuccessful session I was told to call Customer Support. Yet a connection to sales was near instantaneous.
These wait times are completely unacceptable. I understand that the attack on your servers has caused big headaches, but hire some temporary support staff to get through this.
Please, Adobe, help me out. I need to use your products for work.
-Jon-

Hi Jon,
I am so sorry for the inconvenience faced by you, please provide me your contact number, if possible with an alternate contact number. I will follow up the issue.
I have send an email to you also, please respond.

Yet another tagged songs issue

Ok all, I have another question about tagged songs. I figured out how to buy a tagged song. On a windows machine, you have to hit the applications key and then there is a buy option. I bought two songs this way, but when I connected my IPod the other day to purchase a song I had tagged since I bought the last song, the buy option is no longer available. How do I buy the songs now?

Another windows filesharing issue...

im sure you guys have heard a ton of these, ive already searched and i cant find my exact problem though. connecting to my computers is no problem with the finder cmd+k shortcut to connect to server etc... but heres what i really liked; when i first got my macbook it found all of my windows computers on my network (3 of them) and listed them in the sidebar of finder (they had the little monitor witha bluescreen icon, i thought that was hillarious) and i could connect to them from there without having to connect to the smb://windowsserverip. it was a nice thing that i hadnt seen with osx before and really made things easy. well for the past month or so, that hasnt been showing up. how do i get finder to display network computers in the side bar again? its driving me insane. im about to buy a mac mini to replace my media center pc and i want to make sure this doesnt happen again so that i can easily connect to all my windows shares.
if i cant find a solution, i know i can just setup an automator script to automatically connect and mount the shares, but i still want to be able to have access to the windows shares on my macbook without having to do that. (i tried it, and since im not always at home - its a pain in the ***)
hopefully someone understands what my problem is and can help out. thanks (^o^)

I found this response from Mac-Forums.com, it looks like it might help but I have to see anything from it, I probably need to try restarting all of my computers and my router. I'm not at home right now though so I can't just yet.

[SOLVED, sort of] Yet another UEFI boot issue

Hello everyone,
Let me start by saying sorry for the long (first) post.
I've ended up with a UEFI boot problem I can't solve. I've searched the forum and internet and I realize I'm not the only one who ran into problems with UEFI. Unfortunately, the problems other have had seem not similar to mine. I've spent almost 2 days now trying to figure this out, and I'm getting nowhere (though I've learnt some more about UEFI, which I guess is good). I was hoping someone here can give me some hints on how to proceed.
So lets start with the background. I recently bought a new computer (Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E530 with Windows 8) and of course I want to run ArchLinux on it (been using ArchLinux for almost 7 years now and no plans on switching). Installation went ok with only a few problems during installation that I managed to solve (or so I thought). I must admit I didn't follow the guide fully. I didn't want to remove the Restore and Windows partitions, so I figured it would be safe to reuse the existing UEFI System Partition, as long as there was enough room, which there was. Anyway, I now have a computer I can boot into ArchLinux and also Windows 8, just the way I want it, almost. There is this one final issue I haven't been able to figure out how to solve.
The problem
Whenever I reset/power on the computer, I must press Enter during the initial screen (showing a Lenovo logo, and a message about pressing Enter to interrupt normal startup). If I don't press Enter before the timeout (a second or so), the screen will go white and that's it. No beep, no message, no nothing but a white screen. A power cycle is the only way to leave this state. Occasionally the screen will be a white bar at the top and random colours below, but I'm guessing this only represents what is in graphics memory at the time (0x00, 0xFF or any other random value).
If i do press Enter however, then I'm presented with a menu where I can select what to boot; rEFInd (which is preselected) along with Windows 8 and some restore and diagnostic entries. Pressing enter will take me to the preselected rEFInd, pressing enter again (or wait for timeout) will boot linux, and I'm in. Nothing weird there. And if I select Windows in rEFInd, then windows boot, just as expected.
There is no difference whether I'm switching from Windows to Linux or Linux to Windows or just reboot the same OS I was using again. The result is the same whatever I choose to boot.
So the question is: Why do I have to select rEFInd manually and go through all these menus? Should I not be able to just power it on and let it boot the preselected rEFInd entry and continue from there, without me helping it?
Trying to solve it
Searching here and on the internet gave me some ideas on what to try, so here is a list of my attempts:
efibootmgr show me there is a rEFInd entry, and that it is the first one in boot order
I copied refindx64.efi to /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi (replacing an existing entry)
I've updated the EFI firmware (from Lenovo) to the latest and greatest
One other guy had almost the same issue, but with a single boot of Windows. He solved it with Microsoft Boot Manager (there is an Automatic Repair, or something). I even dared trying this, though I must admit I was a bit hesitant about letting some Microsoft program trying to repair my computer. Anyway, it said it couldn't repair my problem, nor did it say I had one, so I am none the wiser.
None of the above gave anything.
So, that's it. I guess I can live with having to press Enter on every power up/reset, but it is very annoying having to do so, and even more so when I forget it because then I'm forced to power cycle it. I hope someone reading this can figure out what's going on, because I am clueless.
Best regards,
Johan

WonderWoofy wrote:@srs5694, have you thought about filing a bug report/feature request about the naming scheme here? I would imagine that something coming directly from the upstream developer would be something that they should take into consideration. Also, I imagine that renaming it to refindx64.efi kind of goes against the whole "vanilla packages" thing we tout around here... so it really makes me wonder why it is done in the first place.
I've just done that:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33326
It's not been very important until recently; but I've been putting a lot of effort into the ancillary support scripts (install.sh and mvrefind.sh). They necessarily rely on the files having certain names, so installing them under other names robs users of functionality.
6feet5 wrote:I've decided to try and restore the whole unit, thinking it would take maybe an hour or two. It's been running now for almost 3 hours and only completed 20%.
Good luck with that!
FWIW, it seems that the number of EFI-related bug reports on Linux forums has gone way up recently. No doubt this is because EFI is now pretty much universal on new computers, so problems that used to affect one or two people now affect dozens or hundreds, and some of those post about them.

Yet another windows user unable to burn to CD

This is my first experience with iTunes and it's turning out to be frustrating. I purchased a Stereo MCs track exclusive to iTunes and want to burn it to a CD so I can listen to it in my car.
Here's the problem. When I put a blank disc in iTunes pops up a message saying:
"You've inserted a blank CD or DVD. To burn songs on the disc, select the playlist that contains the songs you want ot burn and then click Burn Disk in the upper-right corner of the iTunes Window."
I followed the advice by creating a playlist and clicking the burn disc link. It immediately spits out the disc and says "Please insert a blank disc..." ***? So I put the disc back in and nothing happens.
I've looked through the forums and have not yet seen a solution. I followed all the troubleshooting tips (different media, all updates, updating firmware, prayers, potions and spells) and can't find a solution for this problem.
My drives work totally fine reading and writing any disc format in any other software (Windows Media, Roxio, Windows Native, Media Monkey.) iTunes can't be this delicate or finicky can it? If it is I'd say it's time to rewrite some code.
Any help would be appreciated.

In the report, your gettin error -128 which means iTunes is cancelling the burn before the Drive actually starts burning. Its most likly due to some conflict.
Goto www.dell.com and download any firmware updates for the CD ROM, BIOs updates, basicly any update that applies for your model.
If updating the firmware does not work, try going to edit>preferences>advanced tab>burn sub tab and slow the burn speed from "Max" to dsomething like 8x or 4x.
Also try a different brand of blank media

[Solved]Yet Another HAL / Mounting issue....

My issue can be avoided by manually mounting a device, just to get that out there.
Whenever I transfer a larger file ( > 200mb) onto a removable USB device formated in either FAT or any non-journaled filesystem, Thunar will *pretend* like its unmounting the device but after about 20 seconds it states:
Failed to unmount "<device name>".
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply,
the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired,
or the network connection was broken.
On top of the message, my data written is mostly corrupt.
What I know:
** Thunar uses exo-unmount to unmount devices given a HAL uuid. Maybe this is failing? Any clue how to debug this?
** 20-storage-methods.fdi states that all vfat mounted devices have 'flush' and 'async' mount options... could this be an issue?
** I'm part of the 'storage' and 'power' groups.
** i start XFCE using ck-launch-session startxfce4
I've made sure that the device has no other handles and is not open in any window. My system(s) all have new and updated HAL and DBUS, as well as every other package. Running 'sync' after writing the files sometimes fixes the issue. Does anyone have a fix for why removable drives aren't "sending a reply" ? Thanks!

Alright ... well. I managed to solve this kind of. As per my last post regarding the same exact issue, I must've missed a reply from Inxsible telling me to use the FIRST suggest UDEV rule from the arch udev wiki.
The result of this is basically...
*Device inserted
*Mounted in /media/<device name> automatically
*(No access via Thunar sidepane since it gets mounted with `mount`)
*No need to manually unmount
*just unplug or power off the device and it gets "lazy" unmounted via `unmount`
Downside:
*Mounting a drive via TrueCrypt creates a directory in /media that doesn't get automatically deleted.
*Not a solution to Thunar having response issues with unmounting.

Yet another CD burning issue--won't finish "finishing"

The subject pretty much says it all. When I try burning a CD, the computer seems to go through the process just fine until the status becomes "Burning disc.....finishing," at which time, it stops. iTunes still works and is responsive, but the CD won't finish.
I've also tried burning discs with Windows Media Player, but it doesn't seem to work either.
Immediate responses would be greatly appreciated--I need to burn a disc as a gift ASAP!
Thanks in advance.
(Please note that at the time I ran the diagnostics, it still said it was "Burning disc.....finishing." Not sure if that's relevant or not, but figured it was worth noting anyway.)

hmmmmm.
i think i found your drivers and downloads page at Emachines:
Emachines T-series T1150
but there's not a lot of items of interest available there.
on the other hand, according to Samsung's support site, there's a newer version of the firmware available for your SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-224B. you've got R201, and they have R205 available for download:
Samsung SW-224B
so it might be prudent to contact your Emachines technical support, tell them you're troubleshooting a burning issue, and asking them if the newer R205 firmware is compatible with the particular Emachines system that you have.

Yet Another Toshiba A75 Issue.. Can anyone solve it ???

I have a A75 Satellite. The issue I'm having is that everytime I try and install Windows XP, when it's copying files, it totally shuts down. It can stay running at the bios screen all day long, but when it comes to installing an OS, it shuts off.. Any fix for this ? Thanks !

Try cleaning the air vents. When it's at the BIOS screeen the CPU, memory, and hard drive aren't doing anything so very little heat is generated, but when the OS is being loaded, the CPU, memory, hard drive, and DVD drive are running and generating a lot of heat. If the vents are clogged with dust the fan won't be able to cool the unit down enough and the unit shuts down.

Yet another security propagation issue

Hiya,
I'm using WLS 8.1SP4, on windows (dev env).
I'm using forms based auth.
I login with user "cadmin". The debugger shows
the subject from weblogic.security.Security.getCurrentSubject()
has only the WLUserImpl "cadmin", and some WLGroupImpl's, as expected. There is no mention of user "weblogic" in the Subject instance.
When I do:
new InitialContext()
and then attempt to call a method on a stateful EJB configured only for access by cadmin, I get the following stack trace. It occurs whether I try Security.runAs() or just directly in original calling thread.
<--snip-->
     java.rmi.RemoteException: EJB Exception:; nested exception is:
     java.rmi.RemoteException: No such user weblogic
     at weblogic.ejb20.internal.BaseEJBObject.postInvoke(BaseEJBObject.java:254)
     at ima.security.AuthorisationSessionManagerBean_pirxps_EOImpl.joinGroup(AuthorisationSessionManagerBean_pirxps_EOImpl.java:270)
     at ima.admin.security.RemoteAuthorisationOperations.joinGroup(RemoteAuthorisationOperations.java:461)

     at weblogic.security.service.SecurityManager.runAs(SecurityManager.java:118)
     at weblogic.security.Security.runAs(Security.java:41)
<--snip-->
From the debugger in the ejb business method, the call:
_sessionContext.getCallerPrincipal().getName();
returns user "weblogic"
The thing that most confuses me is the "cannot find user weblogic" - the subject reported by Security.getCurrentSubject() was "cadmin" - a user for which the ejb is configured to accept.
One more item possibly of relevance: the servlet is in a separate war to the ear that the EJBs are in. This same ejb and other ejbs are successfully being invoked however.
Thanks in advance for any pointers here,
Regards,
Hugh Madden

Yet another Quick TIme issue.

I made new audio in Digital Performer and imported an MOV file as the source video. The new file was saved as an MOV and plays perfectly on a mac. However, when I try to play this on my pc's QT, I have to load the new file first THEN the original file before both the video/audio play. Help!

OK, that makes total sense. Thank you very much Jon; that explains the issue very clearly. This of course begs another question though; how to I merge the new audio file and the original video file?
That may depend on how you plan to play the file. My preferred strategy is to create a new target file and prevent the original source files from being accidentally modified in case I need to repeat the merge sequence.
1) Open the source files.
2) Create a new empty player.
3) Copy the individual files to the empty player in the order you wish them played.
4 Save the resulting new file as a stand alone file.
This merged file would play in most versions of QT based apps but maight be a problem in some versions of mobile device players which require content be "flattened" to individual audio and video tracks. (I.e., the QT 7 player can play up to 99 mixed data tracks but some versions of the mobile players do not.)

Yet another kernal panic issue

I'm having kernal panics too....
My iMac starts up with no startup chime, and then it starts up OK, but then when it gets to the part when the login window comes up, its just a blue screen, and every 3-5 seconds the little "startup spinny thingy" comes up for about 1/5 of a second. I call it the blue-screen of death. I'm pretty sure its the memory, and I'm preforming all the tasks apple says to do on the support page. I've heard of people saying that buying a new keyboard or slapping the mac would work, but it doesn't for me. Usually I just reboot in safe-mode and all goes away, but now I can't boot up in safe mode OR hear a startup chime.

Please read this in conjunction with my responce to your other post.
Have you tried disconnecting all external devices (standfast the Apple mouse and keyboard) and seeing how that goes? You may also wish to try removing the SODIMM RAM and Airport card if present). Some questions for you:
Have you added any hardware/software recently?
What does the Apple Hardware Test disk report? (Here's a more extensive RAM checker.)
Do you have another Mac/External Firewire Hard Disk (they can help troubleshoot).
cheers

Yet another Helix display issue

I am not sure if this problem is related to previous problem I've reported, so I'm just opening a new thread.
I've noticed that there is a general problem with grey colors display on my machine.
For example, when I scroll my start screen, which has desktop icons with grey background, when the animation stops the greys 'flicker' for a second (change between different shades of grey) before settling on the final colors.
I tried to make a movie showing this, but the effect is quite subtle so it doesn't quite show on camera.
Additionally, there is a banding problem with grey gradients - they are not smooth and the borders between different shades of grey can be seen. Again, I couldn't take good picture of this effect.
I've noticed both problems on the Windows metro UI and the xbox music app. I tried to reproduce them using desktop MS Word by drawing a rectangle with grey gradient fill and moving it around, but the gradient seems smooth and the animation is fine.

I get the same issue. As I posted in other threads, I have tried both an i7 and an i5 model of the helix.. Where I notice this issue the most is in the URL bar for IE 10. When I click refresh or press 'enter', I will sometimes see this flicker in the entire bar.. It looks like a graphical tearing or glitch you would see in a video game when vsync is not properly set. It is definetly isolated to specific parts of the screen. I never saw anything like this on my x220, or my wife's T420/W520 models.
