Controlling Printers Installed On Another Computer?
Feb 28, 2012
We have a branch where we have a server (Server 2003) and four workstations (Windows XP Professional) all part of an internal domain we'll just call "ours.internal" so that it has a name. All 5 computers print to two network printers, one monochrome, one color.All of this works just fine. There are no connectivity or authentication issues whatsoever.The four workstations are public access computers. To control print costs we have paused the printers on each workstation and Group Policy prevents the public users from accessing the "Printers and Faxes" folder to resume them.In order for the public's print jobs to actually be printed, the public user pays the staff on site and the staff person connects to the "Printers and Faxes" folder on the particular workstation, from the server, and resumes printing to print out the job, then pauses the printer again when the job is done.This method works for a lot of folks who's budget simply doesn't include funding for a better solution and it has worked flawlessly for us since implemented.Introduced a Windows 7 Professional workstation into mix. It too is a member of the domain. It too has policies applied and paused printers, so public can't just dump unwanted print jobs to the printers. I even have roaming profiles working so I can standardize the desktop and change it on a whim if I like.However:I can't see the folder that contains the printers over the network.
I have a Windows 7 machine that stops recognizing the installed printers after printing a couple of files. If you reboot the machine, it will recognize the installed printers, but then stops seeing them after trying to print again.
I have installed the following printers: Epson LX-300+II, HP Laserjet 1010, HP Colour Lasterjet 1515, Canon IP5200.
The printers work and are all displayed from Word, IE, etc, but only one printer shows up in Windows 7 Devices & Printers - usually whichever is selected as default printer. If I remove the displayed printer, it shows me another one. When I first installed, it showed me all the printers, but problems started after I had to remove and reinstall my printers.
I work off a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit laptop when at home remoting into a Server 2003 R2. On the laptop I have a Epson Workforce 545 networked which won't display when I connect to the RDC. On the Local Resources tab, I have selected printers, clipboard, drives and ports on the RDC properties. Everty thing else works fine and I can see a CutePDF printer that is installed locally when connected to the RD.
I've used this setup with success on an laptop running XP just by simply ticking Printers in the Local Resources tab but can't seem to get it work with Windows 7. Does it have something to do with the port the Epson is using? If I click on Configure Port it shows it as LPR Printing. Is that relevant?
made a mistake and i bought PWM (cpu fans/ 4 pin) and when they are plugged into 3 pin they max out. is there a way to lower the voltage for them other then using the bios, plus i dont want to mess with my bios at all.
I bought a scythe fan for my case to go on the side, i've tried plugging the 3 pin connector into the PWR_FAN(3 pin) and CHASIS_FAN(4 pin), it gets detected in the bios and in speedfan, and various other software to monitor the fans.
Its running at 3,000 RPM which is way to loud for me, i've tried ASUS AI suite, amd overdrive, speedfan ect to try and turn down the RPM but none of them effect it, its going at 100% non stop and wont slow down no matter what, and even in the bios when i selected 'silent' mode it did not budge in speed at all.
Mobo: ASUS M4A87TD EVO AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard Fan: Scythe DFS123812-3000 "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm Case Fan
Anything i can do to make this software or bios adjust the fan to the correct speeds? If i bought a hardware fan speed controller would that work? I was looking at something simple like this: Newegg.com - Sunbeam PL-RS-PCI Rheosmart PCI 20W Fan Controller
But i'd rather not buy if my Mobo or some software can adjust the speed for me.
Is there a windows 7 gadget for controlling the display time out?
Getting tired of going right click > personalize > Screen Saver > Change Power Settings > Change Plan Settings > Then changing my screen time out from 10 minutes to x amount of time for watching movies.
If you know of any and can provide a link I would be much obliged.
Some of my external drive find on the PC... Windows 7 and other external drives don't.. Those shows up in the printer and devices.. How do I get them to work as a letter drive in my computer....I have bought 2 floppy drives and don't work either... everything works on my laptop.... Just so much trouble to hook everything up..
I have Windows 7. My computer keeps crashing I have written down the stop codes, which are all different each time Also keep getting nv7ddmKm.sys.I have scanned the computer with Kapersky and also malwarebytes but both scans are clean.I can be doing anything on the computer when it happens but mainly it is when i am using Adobe CS5 or uploading images onto my computer from Nikon software installed on the computer.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Control Panel -> Devices and Printers show some printers (PDF995 and Microsoft XPS Document Writer) but it does not show my HP OfficeJet 4500. Applications (like IE or Firebird) show it in the list of printer and can print to it.
Edit: I forgot to mention, I am running in the Administrator account and both the laptop and the printer on the same WiFi router. The printer showed up in Device Manager after I clicked Display Hidden Devices (kind of silly to hide devices from the Administrator.)
I had a HD in my old one that's only 4 months old..so I put it in my new computer, formatted it, named it, (I'm only using it for photo/vid storage) now when I reboot windows7 it tries to boot from that disk...so I have to go in BIOS and switch things..(yes I switch and SAVE) but it still does this every-time..What have I done wrong? Is this a Windows7 Disk Management problem? BOIS problem? or me? I have my normal disc set as..Disc0..Boot,page,crash, primary...New one as Disc1, primary.
Using win 7 home edition 64 bit. Ran and installed updates yesterday. Now I have minutes long waits for any program or action. When I looked to reverse the update, "no updates are installed on this computer", is displayed in the installed updates window. Also, none of my restore points are seen. This is a first. I have tried reboots, and McAfee scan. What's next?
I have Windows 7 installed and running on my computer.now i have installed windows xp to another partition..bt now only starting windows xp on,y..no os select menu.
1) Why does having many installed applications cause a computer (PC) to run more slowly? 2) Does this also happen if the programs are installed as portable? 3) Do portable programs run equally as efficient as installed programs?
I may have made a boo boo. I bought a used computer today without an HDD or an OS. I had an old XP computer that had two 1TB drives. I installed a legitimate upgrade of Windows 7 on the C: drive over XP and put it in the new computer. Now, it won't start, and startup repair does nothing. I don't have the XP disk since I bought the computer 7 years ago, and it disappeared since.
I have a problem, I need to temporarly get a Sata III installed in a AMD Athlon 64+ 4000+, when it is installed the computer doesn't boot when it's not installed (attached to the motherboard SATA port) the computer boots fine, my guess is that the motherboard can't handle these types of SSD, right or wrong ?
A friend of mine gave me his computer to perform a quick reformat intoIt had two hard drives, and asked me to please reformat all of them. However One of the hard drives was not being detected with windows, so I went to disk manager, and formatted/shut it off.Now whenever I try to boot back into windows I get the message Grub Rescue, and am unable to boot into windows.I do not have a linux CD, and I only have a windows 7 professional installation disk which is not working since I get the message ''Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer''Status 0xc00000e9If I try to boot windows from an USB flash, it does not get recognized and it displays Grub rescue again
I just got a new comp, w/ win7. I just took the HD from my old comp, and added it 2 the new system, hoping that i could run some programs from it on the new comp, (because i've lost install cd's etc..) Everythings fine except, I cant run any of the programs. Like, Old drive has Microsoft Digital Media Edition. I tried to open it & run the install, but the new comp says.. cant access registry. New unit is win 7, old one was xp, sp2. anything i can do to use my old programs? can i copy the drive onto the win 7 hd?
Is there a utility for me to copy installed 32-bit programs form my new 64-bit Windows 7 computer to my rebuilt 32-bit XP computer, preferably with a LAN cable, and run it on the XP computer?
On a brand new, freshly installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64. I get the following error when resuming from Hibernate: "Your computer can't come out of hibernation. Status 0xc000009a". No other info, no reference to any file such as hyberfil.sys. I have tried to "powercfg -h on/off", reboot defrag and reactivate hibernation, however the problem is still there.....what can I try?
I tried to install Internet Explorer 9 for testing a website. It prompted me to restart after the install, so I did. It never started back up. Now my computer will not boot into windows except in safe mode and system restore doesn't facilitate at all.
This is my ntbtlog.txt: [code]Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Version 6.1 (Build 7600) 5 29 2011 02:49:09.125 Loaded driver SystemRootsystem32 toskrnl.exe Loaded driver SystemRootsystem32hal.dll Loaded driver SystemRootsystem32kdcom.dll Loaded driver SystemRootsystem32mcupdate_AuthenticAMD.dll Loaded driver SystemRootsystem32PSHED.dll Loaded driver SystemRootsystem32CLFS.SYS [Log] .....
i tried to download the movie make windows essential from ms website, after the installation, i have noticed that my computer now start to lag (that's right, the whole os is lagging, not in game, or when doing particular things, just lag whenever) and there's a buzzing sound accompany with it if i am playing a Internet video. i was monitoring my task manager and i notice that every lag the cpu usage would get spike up by a bit. the reason why i suspect it is a virus is because when i restart my computer, there's an option that tells me to force restart or close the following programs, but there were no program on the list, just the two options "force restart" and "cancel" what is even more weird is that it doesn't seem to act up anymore after i stopped the avira virus scan, but my computer were being slowed after restart.
