How to install an old PPD on Windows 7?

OK - this will be tricky.

We are that a small offset printing and ID CS4 allows the design and make our separation of color with. We use an ish imagesetter Panther who serves us well.

We just bought a new PC, and as XP pro is hard to get these days, and with Windows 7 clearly the way of the future - we took the plunge... especially since we've updated our design to CS4 software I thought that we would have no problems.

However... Windows 7 will not install the old Panther PPD - essentially tells me that they are not compatible with a 64 bit OS.

Any ideas? We're a little drunk if I can't get this to work

Yes, Windows Vista and Windows 7 have a built-in PostScript driver, essentially an updated version of which is also included in Windows XP and Windows 2000.

The old AdobePS PostScript Printer Driver Installer actually just installed this driver with a designated user PPD. Absolutely, this installer does not work on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Windows Vista nor Windows 7 provides a simple way to create an instance of PostScript printer driver associated with a designated user PPD file.

The only way to achieve this is to set up an appropriate. INF file pointing to the. File PPD and PSCRIPT5 pilot and point to that. INF file when you use the option "have disk" in the "Add printer" Wizard Information for how to do this are probably on some obscure URL on the Microsoft Web site.

  • How to open the old emails in Windows 8

    How can I open old emails in Windows 8?

    Default e-mail program included retains the last 14 days of mail.  However, you can change it through the settings of the application.  With the app open, pull the charm bar and click settings.  Choose "Accounts" and select the account in question (if you have several).  There is a menu drop down marked "download mail of" choice "in the last 3 days", "last 7 days", "2 weeks", "Last month" and "Any Time".  The choice of the latter will download all the mail on your server and keep a local cache of it.  I use this choice, but it depends on how large your message store is and how much space you have on your machine.

    Note also that if you use some providers of messaging services the search function in the mail app will search not only what is cached locally, but also the entire file on the server.  While if you keep just 2 weeks of worth of e-mail cached locally, you can always seek (and read) old messages.

    I m wondering that you have installed Windows 7 on this good old classic. In my opinion Windows XP would be the best choice, but ok, you can do what you want ;)

    Anyway, AFAIK your laptop is equipped with an Intel graphics card then I recommend to download the driver form Intel directly because the Web from Toshiba site displays only the Windows XP display drivers.

  • How to install the ssl certificate in windows server 2008?

    Hello

    Can someone give me the steps to install the SSL certificate on my application hosted on windows server 2008 R2?

    Hello

    Although technet.microsoft.com should be the best forum for the problems of server below is a guide on how to install an SSL certificate.

    It will be useful.

    To install your newly acquired in IIS 7 SSL certificate, first copy the file somewhere on the server and then follow these instructions:

    1. Click on the start menu, go to administrativetools and click on Manager of Services Internet (IIS).
    2. Click the server name in the links on the left column. Double-click server certificates.

    3. In the Actions column to the right, click Complète Certificate Request...

    4. Click on the button with the three points, and then select the server certificate that you received from the certificate authority. If the certificate does not have a .cer file extension, select this option to display all types. Enter a friendly name that you can keep track of certificate on this server. Click OK.

    5. If successful, you will see your newly installed in the list certificate. If you receive an error indicating that the request or the private key is not found, make sure that you use the correct certificate and you install it on the same server that you generated the CSR on. If you are sure these two things, you just create a new certificate and reissue or replace the certificate. If you have problems with this, contact your certification authority.

    Bind the certificate to a Web site

    1. In the column of links on the left, expand the sites folder, and click the Web site that you want to bind the certificate to click links... in the right column.

    2. Click the Add... button.

    3. Change the Type to https , and then select the SSL certificate that you just installed. Click OK.

    4. You will now see the listed link for port 443. Click close.

    Install all the intermediate certificates

    Most of the SSL providers issue certificates of server out of an intermediate certificate so you will need to install the intermediate certificate on the server as well or your visitors will receive a certificate error not approved. You can install each intermediate certificate (sometimes there are more than one) by following these instructions:

    1. Download the intermediate certificate in a folder on the server.
    2. Double-click the certificate to open the certificate information.
    3. At the bottom of the general tab, click the install Certificate button to start the Certificate Import Wizard. Click Next.

    4. Select place all certificates in the following store , and then click Browse.

    5. Select the Show physical stores checkbox, then expand the Intermediate certificate authorities folder, select the below folder on the Local computer . Click OK. Click Next, and then click Finish to complete the installation of the intermediate certificate.

    You may need to restart IIS so that it starts the new certificate to give. You can verify that the certificate is installed correctly by visiting the site in your web browser using https rather than http.

    Kind regards

  • Impossible to install missing old updates of Windows XP-

    I am told that I have a lot of older Windows XP updates missing who might be a threat to my safety. I have Windows XP Pro Media Center edition SP3.

    I received prior assistance from a person who has provided support to Microsoft for a tech forum. She began to date of all the tests she could think to search for missing persons. We also tried to reinstall KB978601, an old update, time & time without success.

    I started with AVG free edition, but now I use Trend Micro Titanium Security 2011 my virus protection. We have also conducted tests with & without my virus protection on.  Finally, it was suggested that I try this site for answers. I currently receive all the updates with no problems and I'm not sure the updates, Miss me him. As I mentioned before, told me that even if they are more updated that the fact of not having them is a threat.

    Update of root certificate will not be listed in Add/Remove programs.

    Note: Updates of root certificates usually come out every 3-4 months. While the updates of root certificates are installed automatically in Vista & Win7, Windows XP users must install manually via the Windows Update Web site [what were thinking?] then make sure you run all CUSTOM analysis a few months, so to see if a root certificates update became available.
