• Would PREVENT you automatic updates and other changes

  JO 8600 Pro.  Configuration of the wireless network.

  I want to prevent the automatic updates.

  There must be a way to stop the automatic firmware / software updates.  I have not found.

  "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" particularly printers.

  People update the firmware / software (not only HP) & some things suddenly do not work.

  I don't update * nothing * until I know what it is.

  I just installed some new cartridges, not HP.  All of a sudden the printer is accessing internet & "Download".  She flashed quickly on the screen of the printer & I couldn't read what it says.

  At the same time, he said something like '... then web printing will be also activated. "

  I disabled specifically that, in the SAP when I 1st installation program for the printer.  Won't print web, it is useless.

  Now, because I have replace a few carts, it's going to turn it back on for me?  Talk about balls of brass.

  I canceled that download / stop the printer.  But of course, he had changed my settings & reactivated web printing.  (I disabled it again).

  The next power on, printer took some download.  He did not said worth what - has just shown, "Downloaded X of Y" & showed progress.  I immediately cancelled again.

  If there are no parameters to prevent no matter what auto FW / software updates, or if she simply ignores them, I'll have to bury the printer under the firewall.

  Thank you.

  Thanks RnR.

  Here is a method to use a router to block devices to access the internet, which should work for many users.

  I decided to use my router to block internet access to the printer.  This can quickly and easily be reversed or modified.  It has 2 basic steps:

  1 assign the printer a static IP address.

  2. use the settings on the router to deny access to the internet to the static address.

  I have a Cisco / Linksys router, but many brands & models have these basic features, which are accessed from EWS from the router (built-in web server), via a web browser.

  HP support has the allocation of static IP address for printer more detailed instructions.

  Here is the HP document a coating for my OJ Pro 8600 & some other models: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03781399/

  It may be easier for most users to assign an HP printer a static address, using EWS of the printer rather than the screen of the printer.

  Note: as a general rule, when you use a router to assign a static API for devices that the router would otherwise be assigned automatically (via 'DHCP'), the selected static address is outside the current range of addresses, the router can be used to assign addresses to devices on.  Many routers, that the current range of addresses, it can choose to assign DHCP addresses is visible in certain section / tab of the EWS router.

  In my Cisco the current DHCP range appears under installation - basic setup - DHCP section:

  "IP range: 192.168.2.60 to 192.168.2.109.

  So I chose an address static printer off this (192.168.2.XXX).

  You should write down & save the selected API, in the case where there is no problem getting later printer (shouldn't be, but...).

  Assign the printer a static API did not affect access to its built-in Web server (for me).

  Once the static method API is assigned & recognized (by the router), use the settings of the router to block this address from internet access.  In my Cisco, it's under "Access Restrictions."  (You may need to turn the printer on / off; possibly reboot some computers, for the new static to be recognized address.)  Here's how I did in the Cisco:

  Log on to the router EWS (login by default & password is admin/admin.  You must always change router PASSWORD values by default, for security reasons - then your neighbor or your child can't hack your router remotely).

  Go to the tab "Access Restrictions" or similar.
  Click on "Edit PC" and put in the "MAC address" of the printer. (found in the network printer config / settings).

  Save the MAC address settings.

  Back on the homepage Internet access router, give this internet access policy (rule) a name.

  Then click on "Access."
  Check "Everyday" and "24 hours" for time, to block the IPa at all times.
  Save the settings.

  Now, the router will not allow this address to access the internet - for the specified hours, but the device (printer) can continue to communicate on the local network - all the time.

  The same can be done for specific computers.  You want to block computers in kids' internet access on certain days / hours.

  Have you tried disabling the automatic updates, and then install service packs?
  A practice that I had in XP when the reinstallation of the operating system was to disable the automatic updates, wait until I had installed all service packs, then turn it back on.

  To disable automatic updates
  GoTo Start-> Control Panel
  Click on "Classic view".
  Click on "windows update", which is usually towards the end
  Click on "change settings".

  under "major updates" choose one of the last two options. Is the "check for updates but let me choose whether to install" or "never check the updates. It does not matter because we will change things back that upgrading to SP2.

  The above is here simply to try to stop suggestions on the use of v29

  I had to uninstall Firefox 29 5 times today, each time after he said to "never check updates."

  Not to start a war here, but Mozilla won't return to the entire user interface that they spent 2 years working on. That would be a downgrade to them. Mozilla is all pushing forward. Some users may the hate, but it's that there are other alternatives such as the Restorer of classic theme for people who dislike the design Australis.

  There is a way to disable updates by going through the menu Options, but after this, when you go to help > on Firefox, it would update regardless of this setting.

  You can set these prefs in about:config to turn off the automatic update:
  
  App.Update.auto - false
  
  App.Update.Enabled - false
  
  App.Update.Silent - false

• Automatic update problems.

  Hi people. Something fishy seems to happen with my computer. I seem to have a mystery on my hard drive partition. You see, my hard drive must have ONLY ONE PARTITION, C drive. And that's what shows. However, during boot on the Windows XP installation disk, I discovered a second 31 MB partition which does not appear in my computer. Automatic update also fails to deliver the most recent Microsoft Updates for me and same Windows SteadyState does not install any update, even though it says it's. Several months ago this computer had a bot and 37 Trojans, viruses and spyware. I reinstalled to get rid of the bot. tell me, is what is happening here normal, or should I worry? Is it possible that the bot is always on this partition of mystery? Thank you.

  I have no idea what that means "Custom Windows update IE" and you still have not answered my question #4.

  But don't worry about this now. Your other thread tells me everything I need to know: your computer still infected or is it again be infected (horse of Trojan W32/FakeAlert - variant & friends).

  Sorry, you have problems getting your patches installed. I have a number of things for you to look at.  First of all, are your Windows Update and the Background Intelligent Transer Services set to Automaticand started . You can check these settings by typing services.msc in the search box of the start menu.

  Sometimes in order to get patches to install correctly, you must perform these tasks manually.

  (1) Download Center to visit Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.
  (2) search for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB979309).
  3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run.  You must accept the agreement of contract and then click on continue.
  (4) repeat this process for each download of updates Windows could not install.
  (5) to rerun the update from Microsoft, click find updates.  If all goes well, it will show that you are completely patched.

  If this does not work, try to run the Microsoft OneCare safety scanner.  Sometimes it will solve problems of hidden registry, or erase viruses can prevent the installation of patches: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm. Click full service scan, and then Quick scan (full scan takes a long time to complete). Try the patches.

  See you soon,.
