  • printer prints from the internet but does not print the document files

    My photosmart Hp 6510 series prints from the internet, but do not print documents saved in my Toshiba computer files. He did print before files. What should I do? This message has been incorrectly marked as the solution

    Are you connected via USB or you print wirelessly?

    I've included a few scareen shots below the best way to go about printing a word document. The icon of the file clicked at the top left, click on print and follow the screenshots below.

    Make sure the printer name is identical to the one that you want to print to. older printers may appear in the window also so do of course have chosen the right one.

    RE: iTunes and WMP - MusicBridge

    Found this on the web. I can't vouch for it. Use it at your own risk.

    Excerpt:
    iTunes is not compatible with Windows Media Player. iTunes is - like Apple-very protective of any product and does not like to share. So, you have to force off iTunes and WMP.

    To do this, you can use this sloppy program: MusicBridge.
    The description of its creator:
    MusicBridge allows people who use both iTunes and WMP on the same machine to keep their libraries in sync. MusicBridge offers a variety of synchronization options so that you can manage your collection of music in the media player, or both. MusicBridge duplicates of meta-data between Windows Media Player and iTunes, it does not copy the physical files between applications.

    Version 2.0.1 is a bug fixing release.

    Best thing: it's free.

    convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format that Windows Media Player can understand

    You can convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format of Windows Media Player can understand - (I tend to use mp3). This can be done inside of iTunes itself. If the songs in your iTunes library were purchased in the iStore and were purchased in the plus version (indicated by a small sign above the price of a song +), then they are DRM free, so they can be converted easily. However, if the songs were not purchased in the format more, you can convert them for 30 cents each. I highly recommend that you do as the plus version of songs are premium quality - and since they are DRM free, you can use them in almost all applications and you can burn them to CD and play almost anywhere. All the songs on the iTunes store are now version more, so you don't have to worry about searching for them in the future.
    To convert songs to Windows Media Player can understand, open iTunes, and then do the following:
    1. click Edit, preferences, and go to the general tab
    2. click on the button "import settings".
    3. change the "import using" at "MP3 encoder".
    4. click OK and go back to your music library
    5. choose the list view and select the first piece of your library
    6. scroll all the way to the last song in your library
    7. press the button SHIFT key, then click the last song to select all the songs in your library
    8. click on "Advanced" and then "Create MP3 Version."
    9. your songs should start to convert and according to how many songs do you have in your library, this could take some time
    10. open Windows Media Player and press F3 or click file, add it to the library

    11. click on OK - Windows Media Player should start to search for songs on your computer and after that he finished the search, you should find the songs in your library in your Windows Media Player to iTunes library.

    NOTE: This method will not work unless you have purchased iTunes songs or if you have converted the songs iTunes more for each 30 c

    Hi RobynGP,
     
    This may occur if the print spooler requires other services, and these services are not running. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
     
    1. in Services, right-click on print spooler and then click Properties.

    2. click the Dependencies tab. The first box list all system services that must work for the print spooler start. These are dependencies.

    3 make a note of each service, click OK, and restart each service on which the print spooler is dependent, if the service is not already started. If a service is not started, right-click, click Properties, and then make sure that the startup type is automatic.

    Assuming that you have checked in fact in the firefox menu, then he showed the correct printer not another printer of the program then.

    1. Try in the questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode because it might be an add-on somehow interfere
    2. Look at this KB MozilaZine on reset the printer

  • WNDAP360 / WMS5316 - cannot add AP since the firmware

    Hi we have just updated the firmware on our access points (WNDAP360) 2 and cannot add them in the WMS5316 (ProSafe 16ap)

    I tried to perform a reset, it locates the device, but the progress indicator just to 0% with the rotation of graphics. The Web page times out. Ive left it 40 minutes

    I also manually configured on the same subnet, unused IP and tried to add through discovery of intellectual property

    This seems to have happened since the updates of the firmware:

    WMS5316 is on 2.1.5

    WNDAP360 are on 3.0.4.0

    Beforehand, they were always capricious to add like its never been clear what password to use. For reference, Ive tried our internal password that the group is configured for blank password and password password for example.

    I tried adding with new IPs and also the IP existing / default

    Everything I try, I can't do these Aps to add to the group / management system. Here are the recent errors in the system log:

    Now solved

    Had to manually assign an IP address in the same subnet (which had already been done), and then restart the WMS service, then try and add it again. Connection is established and the progress indicator has increased. Several times he has failed when even at 40%-60% and said the authentication has failed. However he did at least change the IP address to the new so something was working.

    I have left alone and returned to him and he said connected. It seems that the synch plant just constantly but ends by develops. Then I changed the password / group, it says failed again and finally himself developed.

  • C4480 printer does not print on the internet

    I hope I'm doing this right.  I tried searching for this problem.  I'm awfully lack of navigational skills.  And many computer skills, I'm afraid.

    I have Windows Vista and just downloaded IE9, but the problem started when I was with IE8.  The upgrade did not help.

    My printer is an all-in-one printer, model C4480.

    It works with other computers very well.

    He has a lot of ink work.

    My problem arises when I am physically plugged into the printer and if I use a wireless connection. I use a laptop computer, if it's important.

    If I print from a word processing document something, everything prints fine but I'm tired of cut and paste what I want to print.  When I try to print directly from the internet I have a line at the top (page 1 of 1, line type) and a line across the lower part (usually a (?) path to the location of a temporary file, I think) with nothing in between.  It is a blank page otherwise.

    I feel that I can have left the information that anyone who is willing to help me may need.  I hope I did well.

    I'm usually good following the clear instructions, as long as they are written so that someone who doesn't speak not "computer" can understand it.

    If anyone can offer advice, I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Angela

    I can't thank you enough for trying to help me.  I did run this diagnostic utility you suggested and, naturally, it turned up without error.  I'll try another browser to see if it worked (although I do not want another browser), but then I had a thought.  So I decided to try my idea first, before installing a new browser.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software (I think it's the right word... the disc that came with the printer with drivers etc on it).  Guess what?  I can print on the internet even once.  I can't believe that none of us don't think of that earlier.  I still don't know why it crapped out, but it works now so I'm not too concerned about why.

    Again, thank you very much for taking the time to answer my call.

  • while trying to reset to fix the slowness, firefox never finished, so I closed it, now it says my profile is not valid, and nothing will load.

    while trying to reset to fix the slowness, firefox never finished, so I closed it, now it says my profile is not valid, and nothing will load. So I have no possibility to repair. I tried to anUpgrade, but which resulted in the same situation.

    Sorry, when an update is interrupted, it can happen. Please start by creating a new profile. There is no data in it, but it will get us started.

    You will start the Firefox profile manager using the Windows Run dialog box (hold down the Windows key and tap R) or the system Windows 10 search box. Paste the following and press ENTER:

    firefox.exe -P
    

    This should start a small window.

    Click on the button to create a profile, assign a name like OldSettings and ignore the ability to move the profile folder. After you create the profile, select it and start Firefox in this profile.

    I guess that Firefox works?
