Need To Change Output To Printers Back To B/W & Color
Aug 3, 2007
I recently changed the overall output to printers from B/W + color to only B/W to help on save a little cost on inks. Now I need to print with color and I can't find out how to get it turned back on. Where I changed it was before the printers so the each printer's properties won't let me change it. I should have wrote it down and soon will if I get a resolution here. The ink bars on the printing status blocks only show black ink so I know the command is set before them. Any help someone may give would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Windows XP and when I turned on my computer this morning, my taskbar and start menu weren't the standard blue color, but grey, like an older version. I've tried fixing this in my control panel, but it just says I'm already using a blue taskbar & start menu. I really like the modern look of the blue taskbar.
I install a shared workgroup printer on a computer in the workgroup (not the computer it's physically attached to). Then on some login names, in their Printers and Faxes folder I see the same printer but the word "Auto" is in front of it. These often have limited ability to work.why they show up and how.
does anyone know how to get it to be the normal way (dont know how else to explain it) and by normal i mean for the descriptions to not be boxed around with a seperate color
I cannot install any printers nor can I see any in the Printers and Faxes. I can print and they show up under printers to select from programs but because I can't see them, I am having trouble updating programs like Adobe. Adobe fails making a reference to the printers.
I have Windows XP on a DELL. I tried to download the display monitor driver for E772C. When I tried to follow the instructions after downloading which told me to follow the following path: Right click on the background. Go to properties which pulls up display properties. Click on the Settings tab. Click on the Advanced button. Click on the monitor tab. Then it said to click on Properties but is grayed out so I still cant change the color to more than 4 bits.
I know this is simple but it's driving me nuts that I cannot fix it. The Help desk just updated my computer and now there are boxes surrounding the names of the desktop icons. I do not want these boxes. When I change the desktop color, it changes the color of these boxes. How do I fix this so there is no box and it is clear with just the names. I can't stand looking at this!
Using, in Ctrl Panel Display/Appearance/Desktop, I've set the color as Lt. Blue. When I reboot, or even while I'm working, the color has changed to a darker blue.I've downloaded and installed new display drivers and I've restored to an earlier setup, but nothing works.
I got a virus. i took care of the problem but my desktop is just white. i still see the icons but the wallpaper is white. if i right click and go to properties i can change the base color but not the wallpaper design. if i go on the internet and set a picture as background it does nothing, but if i log off it will show.
I recently updated with the Windows XP Service Pack 3 [KB936929] = [Via Using the XP computer's "Windows Update"] All this install was without a hic cup It is odd as I feel before I had the screensaver of a background showing a Grey like colour Since updating with the SP3 my computer is now has a "Black" background behind all Windows screensavers Can one change/modify the colour of the windows screensaver background
i installed xp service pack 2 and now i can not change the color background settings, even though the right boxes are ticked.The box in accessibility is also ticked. Before installation of service pack 2 it worked. I like to change the background colors to make reading of web pages and surfing easier.
I have discovered that I am no longer able to change the colors of the icons on my desktop. When I get to that option in the Display Properties menu, the option is there but it is not active, it is grayed out or in this case beiged out. I am running XP Professional.
When I right click on the desktop and select properties and click the desktop tab, I can't change the background picture (BTW, I just want a solid color background). I can click the color flydown and apply a new color, but that doesn't affect the current desktop. On reboot, the rebooting, the new background color appears until late in the boot process when the background whites out.
I would like to find a program to change the look/color from the boring gray background that I.E.7 comes with as the default. I could easily just go with Firefox and customize it as I usually do but IE.7 loads and runs faster on this PC. If anyone has any good suggestions for an easy to install and run program that can do this without me having to change any registry entries,
my problem: a c++ program that i was running has suddenly stopped running correctly - i am taking a series of 4 shots using a logitech pro 3000, used to be between the shots you could see yourself on the monitor - now you can only see yourself before the 1st shot. where, what can i look at to correct this? is there someway/where to control the background color of the monitor - or would this be written into the program? i have done a re-install of the program to no avail. any ideas, gui stuff?, gdi stuff? the system i am using is as follows: thinkpad 600X. 500mgh pentium III, hitachi 12gb hd (8gb free), 128 ram, windows XP-sp1, neo-magic magicgraph 256 video card
1. Click Start > click Run > type regedit > and click OK.2. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_USERSDEFAULTControl PanelColors 3. In the details pane (right-side), double-click the Background string value item. 4. Change the value to a 3 number RGB value, and then click OK . You have now changed the logon background color.NOTE: I went looking for this registry key after using the "Change the Logon BackGround" tweak, and that bright XP blue color kept showing before the OS had a chance to load my dark wallpaper. This way if you choose a color close to the wallpaper shown, the load of the wallpaper is less noticeable.
know the desktop toolbar right, the one that is next to the clock? (if you have it turned on) Well im using windowblinds to make xp a little more visually appealing. When i use the black vista theme it kinda interferes with the black font of the desktop toolbar. Does anyone know if there is a way to change the color or where to find the registry entry so i can set the RGB myself.
Some of Microsoft applications(Media Player, Visual Studio, Office) and internet browser Firefox had changed their background color from white to gray. How can I fix it?
I cannot install any printers nor can I see any in the Printers and Faxes. I can print and they show up under printers to select from programs but because I can't see them, I am having trouble updating programs like Adobe. Adobe fails making a reference to the printers. I checked the print spooler under Services and it is running. I have stopped and restarted it but the "Printer and Faxes" screen is still blank.
I have a problem with my desktop. For some reason it won't let me change my desktop pic only the color option is available. It won't even let me browse for a pic to put on my desktop. Now it only has the color blue on it. But when you turn the computer off it shows the picture that i want on my desktop right before it turns off.
This may seem trivial, but it's bugging me. I have a windows XP and i have the windows classic theme. Every time I put a picture as my wallpaper the color around the words under my icons doesn't blend in with the picture but stays a solid color, so there's like little boxes of blue of white. How do I make those icon words blend in with the picture?
I got a windows vista computer and it came with an upgrade dvd. So i upgraded my windows xp to vista thinking I could change it back when I needed to use xp but I can`t . I went into the recovery console and it gave me 3 choices that I dont understand. I can now only use the vista version on both computers. How can I get Xp back?
Over the X-mass I had some family members staying with us. For some ungodly reason she created new account as an administrator and changed my main account to Limited. Of course her account is password protected.Can I change a registry key i.e remove her password so I can change my account back to an Administrator.
I have Windows XP Home SP2 and yesterday when I started up the computer the task bar and the top of a window is displayed like a windows me theme and not XPs clean design. The only thing that might have changed it is adobe reader 7 which I installed the day before the display changed. Is there any way to change it back to the origional display?
Can you tell me if it's possible to change the icons back to the original ones from websites? All my Favorite icons are the same (the default IE icon). Is it possible to change them all together or they have to be done one by one?
I have a freind witH MS (multiple sclerosis) and I told her I would help her find out how to print a document with black ink when herdisplay is set up to show a white font on a black back ground (to enable her to read it, as her eyesight is failing). Is there a way to set this as the default mode - so that she doesn't have to do something special each time she prints a document?
every 3-5 minutes or so, the main window that i'm working in (doesn't matter which program im running, but usually firefox/msn messenger, etc..) stops being the "top" window, and instead goes to the background - as if i opened another internet explorer window on top of it.this "glitch" is always followed by something even more strange - the sound gets cut off, and if i check the meters in volume control i always find the "wave" meter to be on minimum, and i have to put it back in the middle.
