How can I use a printer by means of radio waves

Ok. I bought a new laptop with windows vista home premium that I run wireless.  We have a main home computer with windows XP, which is attached to our one printer (Lexmark).  Is it possible that I can use the printer to my laptop?  Its a pain to copy orders of the laptop, put it in the main computer, and then print it.   Help, please.

Hello

It is quite easy to share the printer on the Windows XP for your new computer laptop to use. There are a few prerequisites to make it work.

(1) computer and laptop computer must be in the same workgroup.
> XP, do a right click my computer and select Properties. Click the computer name tab
> In Vista or 7, right click on computer > in ComputerName, domain... section, click on the "Edit settings" link on the right side.
> Click the button Edit (ALL systems). Enter a work group that is the same for both computers. You can leave as 'Work group' If you want to.
Make a note of the name of your computer!

(2) on the XP system, click on START and open Printers and faxes. Right click on your printer and select sharing. Do not use the wizard, simply go to the sharing. Click on the "Share this printer" option Change the name if you wish. Keep it short and sweet. Click on apply and OK.

(3) on the Vista/7 system and type, click Start > RUN
(> Type > \\(your XP computer name) > click OK
> You should see the printer. CCK-right and select Connect.

That must be it... Your business in.

Have fun.

    Did you mean an office or a note?
    As far as I know the a Note is part of the recovery Image and the CD is not supplied with the unit. In addition, Toshiba units are not delivered with the Office 2000 software.

  • How can I use internal clock case OR USB - 6259 BNC for the acquisition of digital data in my own big software?

    I want to integrate the ANSI C sample program ReadDigPort - ExtClk.c in my own big package.

    I want to use the internal clock of the BNC NI USB-6259 (.. 80 kHz 120 kHz).

    In the document:
    High speed M: Series Multifunction DAQ for USB - 16-bit, up to 1.25 MECH built-in BNC connectivity. / s,.
    is written:
    Or sample DI source clock: Any PFI, RTSI, HAVE sample or convert clock, AO, Ctr n out internal and many other signals sample clock
    The digital subsystem doesn't have its own dedicated internal synchronization engine. Therefore, a sample clock must be provided another subsystem on the device or from an external source.

    How can I use internal clock case OR USB - 6259 BNC for the acquisition of digital data in my own big software?
    With what other subsystem on the device can generate a source of the clock? How?

    It is possible to set a clock on an internal counter (for example ' Dev1/ctr0"):
    Creates channels to generate digital impulses that define the freq and dutyCycle and adds the channel of the task that you specify with taskHandle.
    DAQmxCreateCOPulseChanFreq (taskHandle, "Dev1/ctr0" units, clockName, idleState,
    initialDelay, freq, the duty cycle); works

    But it is not possible to drive this internal clock to a terminal (for example "/ PFI0/Dev1"):
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateCOPulseChanFreq (taskHandle, "/ PFI0/Dev1", clockName, units, idleState, '))
    initialDelay, freq, the duty cycle); does not work: error DAQmx: measurements: type I/O of the physical channel does not match the type of I/O required for the virtual channel you create. Name of the physical channel: PFI0. Name of the virtual channel: clock

    The sample clock source can be derived from an external terminal (for example "/ PFI0/Dev1"):
    Sets the source of the sample clock, the sample clock rate and the number of samples to acquire or generate.
    DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming (taskHandle, "/ PFI0/Dev1", maximumExpectedSamplingRate, DAQmx_Val_Rising, ")
    DAQmx_Val_ContSamps, bufferSize); works. Acquire or generate samples until you stop the task

    But it is not possible to derive the internal counter of the clock (for example ' Dev1/ctr0"):
    DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming (taskHandle, "Dev1/ctr0", maximumExpectedSamplingRate, DAQmx_Val_Rising,
    DAQmx_Val_ContSamps, bufferSize); does not work. Error: Acquire or generate samples until you stop the task: make sure that the name of the terminal is valid for the specified device. See Measurement & Automation explore valid names of terminals. Property: Property of DAQmx_SampClk_Src: DAQmx_SampClk_ActiveEdgeSource device: Terminal Source Dev1: Dev1/ctr0

    Hi datafriend,

    using what it says is correct:

    Or sample DI source clock: Any PFI, RTSI, HAVE sample or convert clock, AO, Ctr n out internal and many other signals sample clock
    The digital subsystem doesn't have its own dedicated internal synchronization engine. Therefore, a sample clock must be provided another subsystem on the device or from an external source.

    This means that if you do not use an external signal as clock you can use the sample clock to HAVE it on board or at the output of the internal counter.

    There are also 2 ANSI C examples in this regard:

    http://zone.NI.com/DevZone/CDA/EPD/p/ID/4485

    http://zone.NI.com/DevZone/CDA/EPD/p/ID/4488

    So in both cases you have to use a fictitious task you need only for the generation of the internal clock (HAVE or CTR)

    do you mean WiFi Direct or WiDi (wireless display)? If WiDi, you need Intel WiDi software installed on a compatible computer.

    What brand of TV and the exact model? If you have Windows Media Center on your computer, you should have Windows Media Player. You can have it disabled in programs, but you can reactivate.
