Can print control panel test pages, but cannot print from applications (Word, WP)

Original title: can print test of control panel pages, but cannot print from applications (Word, WP) no error no message other than can not find printer.

Recently upgraded to SSD as boot drive.  everything is working except cannot print from Word, WP or any application (Editor, etc.).  Can print test pages to control panel on each installed printer, and do not appear.  Try to print from Word he pauses and says "cannot find the printer."  Tried reinstalling Word without solving the problem.  I don't know that the problem is Windows 7 related, not printer hardware problem.  Several times reinstalled printer that also does not resolve the issue.  Any ideas?  Anyone?  Anyone?

  • I can connect to my wireless router, but cannot get internet connectivity via Wireless. If I connect the cable to the port on the router, I get internet connectivity.

    Wireless router / Internet problems

    I am running Windows Vista Home Edition with Security Essentials.  I can connect to my wireless router, but cannot get internet connectivity via Wireless.  If I connect the cable to the port on the router, I get internet connectivity.  Is there a firewall setting that could cause this problem?

    Hello

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
    manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
    updated drivers.

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
    are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

    Hi @Hopefully5,

    Thanks for getting back to me with this information.

    The first thing I would do is check the software and printer drivers. This can be easily done by downloading and running the tool HP Print and Scan Doctor. This tool can diagnose and solve many software issues of print and printer.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.
  • Hello friends, I want to know what the data type can be declared in pl/sql, but cannot be declared in sql?

    Hello friends, I want to know what the data type can be declared in pl/sql, but cannot be declared in sql?

    Hello friends, I want to know what the data type can be declared in pl/sql, but cannot be declared in sql?

    That question is ambiguous: there is NOT a SINGLE type of data that can be declared in pl/sql, but not in sql.

    The Oracle documentaton is your friend.

    The doc of the SQL language treats the SQL data types.

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b28318/datatype.htm

    The doc PL/SQL does PL/SQL data types. Because PL/SQL is a language of proceedings (and sql is NOT) there are several types of data, as shown in this doc, PL/SQL-specific:

    PL/SQL scalar data types are:

    • SQL data types
    • BOOLEAN
    • PLS_INTEGER
    • BINARY_INTEGER
    • REFCURSORexplained in "Cursor Variables"
    • User-defined subtypes

    ALWAYS start with the Oracle documentation for these fundamental questions.

    Several times, as with this question, the question is too general to give a simple answer.
