Is it possible to have windows to automatically select a spare printer by default when the selected default printer is off line?

I use a laptop and move between two locations each with its own printer.  Whenever I move, I have to change the default printer by opening printers & faxes from the control panel.  Is it possible to have windows to automatically select a spare printer by default when the selected default printer is off line?

Hi Tom,

If the default printer is not in offline mode, it will detect the different printer but it will not be a default one.

    I have Windows Vista and I use Windows Mail. Is it possible to have all emails automatically forwarded to another e-mail account?

    You can by using message rules, but the action is not taken until you open the message.
     
    1. For all Messages
    2. Send to the people
    3. Enter the e-mail address
     
    If you want to do automatically, connect with your e-mail server. They can provide this option.

    is it possible to have two different images in "develop" mode  I need to match the color and other image to the other.

    Select the reference image and choose window > secondary display > Magnifier (locked). Now the image you want to change, and start working. You can refer to the secondary display window while you work on the image you are editing,

    If you have a second monitor attached, the entire second monitor may be the secondary display.

  • I have Windows 7, my computer does not start. I did the Startup Repair and he won't fix it. I did the system configuration information

    I have Windows 7, my computer does not start. I did the Startup Repair and he won't fix it. I did the system configuration information. and that did not help. What to do now? The comment of Bios makes me fear that it could damage my computer forever. What should do? Help, please

    Hi Alan,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the computer does not restart even after running Startup Repair and I will be happy to answer your query. I appreciate the efforts made to try to make it work. Let me ask you;

    • How do you run the Startup Repair?
    • Do you have Windows 7 repair disc?
    • Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
    • Have you plugged an external equipment, except the keyboard and mouse?
    • You are able to start the computer in safe mode?
    • What is the brand and model of the computer?

    Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    There could be several reasons why he's not leaving including hardware as well. In addition, it could be because the master boot record (MBR) has been damaged. When you try to use the Startup Repair tool to repair the MBR, the Startup Repair tool indicates that no problem was found or it does not work yet.

    If you have any connected USB flash drive or other external devices connected to the computer, if you please, remove them and try to run the Startup Repair tool.

    If you haven't tried using Windows 7 repair disc, you can try the following:

    1. Insert the Windows 7 disc
    2. restart your computer
    3. When asked if you want to boot from your DVD player, do it.
    4. Select your language, click Next.
    5. click on repair your computer
    6. Select the operating system you want to repair.

    You can also perform the system restore by selecting the restore point when you think it worked very well. System Restore, choose advanced options using the disc.

    Important: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed after this date are deleted.

    I also recommend to contact the computer manufacturer to get the done diagnostic equipment.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    Thank you.

    NO! There is no Windows 7 Ultimate trial.

    There is a free trial Windows 7 Enterprise, but who would not be eligible to use an upgrade of Windows 8 with her.

    To use the upgrade of Windows 8 you must have a previous version installed, licensed and registered in Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.

  • Using Windows 7 and 8.1 of Windows via a shared house group the WF-2540 Epson printer is off line.

    Original title: printer is offline

    using Windows 7 and 8.1 of Windows via a shared house group the WF-2540 Epson printer is off line.  This printer uses with two PCs using Windows 7 and a PC using Windows 8 with no problems.  Today it usually just printing using 1 PC with 7-1 8.  It is connected to the PC works well.  This isn't wired wireless we have wireless at the office.   Use this way for years with no problems, then suddenly this morning its all stopped.  I read so much information on it with no satisfactory response.  Epson will not know that it is not connected via radio or directly with a PC, so I'll through in circles.

    I reinstalled the PC on Windows 8 PC nothing works.  Any suggestions as to what I can try next as business has ground to stand without the printer!

    Thank you

  • Update adobe flash player for 17 NPAPI, shows on the adobe site that is installed on the operating system xp, I have windows 7, no sounds or video won't play when using FF

    I've updated the flash 17NPAPI drive 3/20 and now no audio or video will play. Went through all the help the Odobe website which shows the installation but also shows my OS XP, but I have windows 7. The previous version was still appearing in my programs as active 16 X adobe flash player so I deleted a new and thought that the old one would work so well. But still no audio or videos don't play.

    My windows media player works fine, it's just when I get online with firefox that I'm having this problem...

    Thanks in advance for any help

  • I have WINDOWS XP, run office 97 / Access 97. What is the most recent windows that run these?

    I have WINDOWS XP, run office 97 / Access 97.  That's all

    I really need and want in the categories of personal finance.

    However, I need a more powerful and faster computer for our world today.

    What is the latest computer and office versions that will run office 97 / Access 97?

    Office 97 is not compatible with any version of victory, win7 & win8 and is no longer supported (no update security)

    Most of the problems are with outlook, so if you install, custom Setup to not include outlook, for a \Office97 \Program Files (x 86) folder

    If using win7 see this first Ko http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978591 if this applies also to the win8, I cannot say.

    If you are using win7 Pro (not the Home version) you can use virtual Windows XP and install Office 97 in this environment.

    Office 2007 and especially relies entirely on win7 & win8

    A more powerful/fast PC will make no difference for Office 97

  • Is it possible to have top-level menu to horizontal top and under menu on the right or the left

    I have a site put in place with the upper level horizontal menu at the top of page.

    I was wondering if it is possible to have submenus positioned as needed - to the right or left side of the page rather than directly in the menus at the top.

    I currently generated submenus as a menu manual separated and placed next to the page.  Would rather all the menus were linked, rather than two separate menu widgets.

    Hope it makes sense.

    Hello

    We cannot achieve this with default menu, but you can try compositions on the page to create the menu.

    For example, in the ToolTip you can use trigger in the horizontal main menu and target in the side menu where users when the mouse hover to main navigation then target appears on the side of the page.

    Thank you

  • Is it possible to have a visible element, but not to print?

    I have works of art which has a piece that I want to be visible when its saved in PDF.  but prints no plates.  I'll do the work in illustrator and import it into Indesign.  Here's the question I'm wondering about the impression of not.  It is the part of the circle and text as well.

    KrisHunt wrote:

    Oh, which only works with offset printing, when the plates are involved? Not on a digital printer?

    For digital printing, a couple of additional steps are necessary in Acrobat.

    Under standards PDF > Preflight, choose to put objects on layers according to their overprint settings. Then click on Analyze and Fix

    This will create a layer separated in Acrobat with overprinting spot dieline.

    You can then set this property of layer always prints.  It will show in the pdf, but will not come out.
