How to assign other print in different Versions of Windows drivers.

From time to time, it may be necessary to try to use another driver for printing or for test purposes, or as a work-around when the regular print driver does not work.  The following steps are only for Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.  I don't know the paths for the Mac OS.  If I learn the steps of Mac, I'll post those as well.

10. Select HP in the first list.
11. Select Deskjet 990c in the second.

6. click on new driver.
7. click on next.
8. Select HP in the first list.
9. Select Deskjet 990c in the second.  If the 990c driver is not there, use the Deskjet 450 driver.
10. click Next.
11. click on finish.
12. click on apply.
13. click OK to close the window.

To use a different print driver for printers HP with Windows 7:
1. click on the start menu.
2 click devices and printers.
3. right click on your printer.
4. Select printer properties.
5. click on the Advanced tab.
6. click on new driver.
7. click on next.
8. Select HP in the first list.
9. Select Deskjet 450 in the second.  If the 450 driver is not there, use the Deskjet 990c printer driver.
10. click Next.
11. click on finish.
12. click on apply.
13. click OK to close the window.

To assign a different print driver in Windows 8:

  1. Hold your mouse arrow in the bottom right or at the top right, the screen to appear charms bar.  If you use a touch screen, you can swipe your finger from right to left.
  2. Choose the charm of the research.
  3. In the search box, click settings.
  4. In the search box, type devices.
  5. Click devices and printers.

  13. Click Next.
  14. Click Finish.
  15. Click on apply to save the changes.

    Thank you

    Hi @OHIMATAS,

    I see by your post that you are unable to network that is connected the printer to the Windows XP computer, but Windows 7 computer. I can help you with this.

    Make sure that the Windows XP computer is connected to the correct network name, not a guest or the other network.

    Print a configuration page to get the IP address of the printer.

    Print a Configuration Page.

    Try and access the printer on the Windows XP Embedded Web server.

    Type the IP address in the address bar of your web browser. (Internet Explorer)

    It loads the page Web has?

    If you are unable to access SAP of the printer, check the IP address on the computer to see if the first 3 sets of numbers match the printer IP. They must match to be on the same network.

    Go to start, type executer run in the start search box, type cmd, and then type ipconfig.
    Check the IPV4 address.
    Now, check the IPV4 address for the printer.
    Do the first 3 sets of numbers match?

    Try and ping the printer.

    In the same window, type ping printers (space between ping and IP address) IP address
    What are the results?

    Run the Wizard add printer in printers and faxes, if you were able to access EWS of the printer.

    Please provide detailed results if you're still having problems.

    Good day!
    Thank you.

  • MY DELL LATITUDE D610 HOW CAN I UPGRADE TO THE NEW VERSION OF WINDOWS? NOW IT IS WINDOWS 7, WHAT VERSION IS SUPPORT FOR USE WELL ON MY DEVICE?

    MY DELL LATITUDE D610 HOW CAN I UPGRADE TO THE NEW VERSION OF WINDOWS? NOW IT IS WINDOWS 7, WHAT VERSION IS SUPPORT FOR USE WELL ON MY DEVICE? PLEASE HELP ME

    Read this: upgrade Windows 10 Dell Latitude D610

    Take a look at my answer, complete instructions.

    Basically speaking, Dell officially supports Windows 2000 and Windows XP on Dell Latitude D610 (and other models of Dx10).

    However it can really run Windows Vista and 7 at least, as long as you max out the RAM (2 GB, 2 x 1 GB, can be purchased at a great price in eBay) and install the drivers, in particular graphics drivers, look in Device Manager and see what drivers are needed manually.

    If you're lucky to have a D610 with ATi graphics card then you can even run Windows 8 and 10 with all drivers available, and I can tell you that it won't be slow dog not unlike a lot of people say, I don't have something similar (a HP Compaq nx8220) in common use. Keep as lean as possible (not bloatwares, anti-virus etc.) system, and it will serve you well.

    How to use paper in the latest version of Windows Live Mail?

    Version 2011

    Short answer: the stationery support has been removed from Windows Live Mail with the upgrade of v.2009 v.2011 back in 2010.

    Long answer: there are two solutions of workaround that you can try.

    • If you have a stationery .htm file, open it in Internet Explorer, and then select file > Send > Page by email (Alt - F E P). Save the message as a result as a .eml file and use it as a model for messages.
    • You can get in shape, for example a background color, to a HTML signature, then apply this signature to an e-mail message. Here's the one I use when sending pictures:

  • How to assign the password for different SSID in embedded AP - w1941 Cisco

    Hello

    Can someone tell me the configuration of the CLI of assinging for SSID password created in cisco integrated access point 1941.

    If so, then can we use WEP encryption on cisco 1941 AP?

    Yet one thing, I get the message click the SSID that "information sent over this network might be visible to others" what does this mean and how to solve this problem. Thank you

    Gotcha!

    The command is...

    encryption [vlan vlan-id] key 1-4 size { 40 | 128 } encryption-key [transmit-key]

    We need to map the Vlan for each SSID..

    So the comand will be..

    encryption (vlan vlan#) key 1 size 40bit 7 F3546E765203 transmit-key

    We need to make sure that... under the SSID, we have mapped the coresponding vlan..

    that is.. if you have a SSID by name XYZ and you want the clients to get the IP from vlan 10.. then the config will be..

    en
    config t
    dot11 ssid XYZ
    vlan 10
    auth open
    mbssid guest-mode
    end

    config t
    int dot11 0
    encryption vlan 10 mode wep mandatory
    encryption 10 key 1 size 40bit 7 F3546E765203 transmit-key
    no shut
    end

    and followed by the subinterface commands.. and the same should be done for all the other SSIDs with different VLAN mappings and keys.

    let me know how this works out for you!!

    Regards
    Surendra

  • How many connections to a shared folder is allowed in the different versions of Windows?

  • How to have 2 different versions of Windows on a pc?

    I want to be able to use both an English AND a Polish language version of Windows (XP, probably) on a pc - although not to use both at the same time! Is it possible to divide the disc in some way to do this?

    You talk about the partitions, you can have 1 hard disk divided into paragraph which will appear as several hard drives.

    When you install XP it will ask questions about the creation of a split partition the diffence then install xp on both partitions.

    If you have a hard drive with nothing on it, you can use SwissKnife (its free) to test what I say.

  • See Persona management and different versions of Windows

    Hello

    I would like to have management Persona to respect version of profile settings in Windows.

    I enabled through the registry of Windows, versions of profile but Persona management always uses the suffix V2. Is there a way of automatically manages this or should I create two different GPO for windows 7 and windows 8.1 where I specify two different paths?

    Cristiano

    Hi Cristiano,.

    Regarding your questions.

    Automatically adds the Persona. V2 as a suffix of the profile. It's for Windows 7 up to version 8.1.

    If you want to differentiate the profile for Win7 and Win8.1, then you must create the location of different profile using different GPOS.

    However, if users want their data are always the same, I suggest that you use the folder redirection for data users such as "My documents", "my music", etc.. "
