  • OfficeJet 6500 e709: prints w / scale on the left margin and does not print right side of the page

    Prints with a wide margin and does not print the last 2 "or 3" on the right side of the page. This occurs even when the value of the left margin to little or none.

    HP trouble shoot said there is nothing wrong and test page prints fine.  Then back to the problem so try to print.

    HI @philg2,

    I see your thoughts produce a wide margin left and right of the page is cut off. What program are you printing from, and this occurs when you print from all programs or just a particular program?

    I see your post that this is not happening when you print a test page, so I think the problem is somehow related to the driver or program that you use. Let's start with the HP print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that allows to quickly resolve problems printing, scanning and connectivity, including but not limited to:

    • Connectivity:

      USB: Check that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product works properly.

      Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working properly.

    • Device Status Test: checks the errors of the device, such as paper, paper jams, stands transport and paper issues and provides instructions to resolve the error.

    • Driver: checks the driver missing or corrupt files.

    • Device Manager: check the problems in Device Manager that could prevent printing.

    • Device online: check if the product has been suspended or put in offline and then sets the State back in line if necessary.

    • Print queue: checks and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a newspaper for printing waiting to print).

    • Port Match: check the port settings for the HP product.

    • Device conflicts: check the conflicts with other drivers, such as the other brands of printers.

    • Ink issues: check the cartridges and the ink levels for issues that affect the print quality.

    • Print settings: check and adjust the print quality settings.

    • Test print: print a test page for the assessment of the print quality and provides options for cleaning and if necessary print head alignment.

    • Scan tests: check the scanning mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.

    Source:try the HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows

    Click here to download and run the print and Scan Doctor > > www.hp.com/go/tools

    If this does not resolve the problem, after back and let me know if there are all the symbols except the Green checkmarks and what they are next of course. The key is not always easy to identify the key and check mart are in the green circle.

    • If you see only the Green checkmarks (), the tool did not find any problem.

    • If you see green sides (), the utility identified a problem and fix it automatically.

    • If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and requires monitoring of the user, but the step was ignored.

    • If you see a red X (), follow the onscreen instructions to fix the problem.

    Thanks, I look forward to hearing back on your part.

  • USB-6009 DAQmx meter task stops and does not restart when you restart the VI

    I have the task of counter DAQmx which "hangs up" while troubleshooting a VI and does not restart when I restart Traoré.  See attached fragment VI.  The counter works reliably in normal operation, but some combinations of interruption and running "highlighted" causes to stop work.  It's in LabVIEW 2009.

    It will restart if I close the VI and reopen it.  However, this causes losing me my window probe laboriously built with ten

    the probes.

    Is it possible to re - initialize a DAQmx task without closing the VI?

    This significantly slows the troubleshooting.

    As an alternative, if anyone can suggest a way to preserve a probe Watch window after closing of associated VI, it would be a work around.

    Please do not take into account.

    Counteract the work of task - it's the rest of the program which is hung up.

  • Association__Unable of loading Windows files: for example; "vlc. INK." invalid file.__All because my desktop icons have changes and all end. Insread of INK. EXE?

    When I go to open an application, I get a message that says "" could not load (any program I'm opening).»» Invalid file of INK. always comes to the top.
    I double click on an icon on the desktop, and a box pops up saying
    ' file: vlc.exe (for example.).

    I do nothing, can solve the problem, I tried to restart at an earlier date to work on the pc, but I had fixed some time back, there is no date of previous work before this? Can someone plese help, I'm at my wits end... Thanks in advance

    Hey all, I met several times before - bit of a design on a flaw in Microsoft if you ask me.  If that's what I think is, you set all files with the extension ".lnk" to start with vlc.exe (or another program).  In short, here's what you need to do, but be careful in the registry.

    Do exactly what the instructions, exactly how they say to do it, and if something seems wrong, get the help of a technician or someone more experienced.  Make a mistake in the registry can make your system unbootable more or less well.

    1. Click on theStart Menu, typeregedit in start search and pressENTER .
    2. Navigate to the following registry branch:

    NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]

    Replace the [ext] with the real extension of the file you want to restore the file type association to return to the original Windows 7 by default (probably .lnk). If you unsure, simply browse through all the Sub-touche under FileExts .

    1. Delete the subkey namedUserChoice .
    2. Exit the registry editor.

    As much as I would like to take credit for the difficulty, I can't - search this Web site for the theme "icons of Application and extension changed. LNK ".  'MyronH' is the host that the application of origin.

    To the extent where the fix proposed by spankydoggy...  Although the intention seems authentic, notice are a bit dodgy.  Considering of Manhood and the stealth technology in about 800 000 permutationsknown to modern virii / Trojans / malware, the only safe course of action is to back up your data and rebuild your system.  And that says nothing about the relevance of the instructions spankydoggy offers in relation toyour system (operating system, applications, recorded files, etc..).  Follow the advice of spankydoggy if you want, but 10 years experience suspect at best it's going to do nothing and lead you into a dead end and the worst cases - it could make your system unbootable or losing data.

    Best regards and good luck,
