Need to know where in the system folder of Windows Vista, I can access the printer for a shared printer drivers .inf files

I have a printer that is attached to my system down Dell Windows XP, I want to access the floor running Windows Vista from my Sony system.  I managed networked the printer so I can see it in my Sony Windows Vista network folder.  However, when I try to access it, it gives me the following error msg:

The server to the printer 'HP Photosmart 1215 series' doesn't have the installed printer driver.  If you want to find the right driver, click OK

Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator or the original equipment for the printer driver manuafacturer.

I advanced and clicked on "OK". and the system brings up a box for me to find the correct INF file to load.  I went ahead and tried the DRIVERS/WINDOWS/INF and a few other places, but has failed to find (any) of printer drivers

Can someone tell me where I can get these?

Download the appropriate driver from the printer manufacturer's web site.  If it contains a Setup program, run the program and when it asks you to specify the printer installation, create a local printer whose name is \\xpsystem\printer where 'xpsystem' is the charing system printer and "printer" is the name of the share.  This should create the printer.

You can also expand the downloaded driver and try to add the printer as you did before, direct the installation to the folder containing the driver that you downloaded.

  • Does anyone know where is the "marker to start project?

    Does anyone know where is the "marker to start project? Not here, and where it is shown in photos in "help". Use often to start my sessions a few bars before 1 Bar. The "End of project marker" triangle is at the end of my session and 'Help', said that both exist. Thank you!

    The beginning of project marker is shown below...

    You may need to scroll the window arranges a little to the right of having show itself.

    Very important "DO NOT SET YOUR PROJECT START MARKER EARLIER THAN 1,1,1,1"

    Doing so brings various undesirable problems caused by a negative project start marker.

    Just start your project at the bar 3 or where to leave room for everything what you want to do earlier. Don't forget you can still "enter time" at any time after creating a project to make more room and move the whole project to the right if necessary.

    If you can't get the iMac began and ongoing implementation, you will not be able to use the target disk Mode:

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201462

    Then the option is to take the iMac HARD drive, install it in an enclosed, and connect the HARD drive to the MBA via the USB port.  If the HARD drive is recognized, you can copy the data out of it.

  • How will I know where all the reports of users has access

    Hi gurus,

    We use the Hyperion Financial Reporting 9.3.1 & we have 80 reports & 750 users. How will I know where all the reports of users has access. Where can I find this information. I checked the SSP, it only shows the provisioing details, but not the name of the report. I also checked the Essbase.sec but no use. Where can I get the info. Kindly help me.


    Kind regards
    Kris...

    There is no tool of Hyperion to display easily groups and security filters.

    But it really depends on how you set up your security model.

    Normally, you add users into groups and assign these groups to essbase and reports (via the BEEP groups) cubes, so you can check reports have access to correct group and the users are in a good group.

    There is a security tool to export available here, hosted by Applied Olap, and underground work Olap-based:

  • Where if the printer software?

    Hi everyone, I could be an absolute fool, but where is the printing software (to check ink levels in my printer)? I can access via the menu recent applications in the Finder (open itself when my paper stuck!) but I can't find it in the Applications folder or in the Utilities folder inside that? Where is he on Earth? Thanks for your help.

    Go to the Apple Menu > System Preferences > print and scan and double-click the icon of the printer on the left. This will bring the print queue. You should see an option to settings on top. Click to access the options.

    Hello

    Where are the fonts for FCPX in my MacBook Pro to mid-2015?

    There are 3 files for fonts: System/Library/Fonts, Library/Fonts, ~ Library/Fonts.

    It seems to be Library/Fonts, but I see that some are not used in FCPX, so I want to be sure. If I'm right, why some is used in FCPX? Looking for don't not to add them, just curious.

    All fonts are system fonts, no specific applications.

    Fonts can be of different Types of fonts.

    FCPX uses only specific fonts Types, not all types, the system recognizes.

  • Where lives the logic for the types of flow control step?

    For most types of step, the behavior of the type of the step is determined entirely by the configuration of the stage - that is to say, the properties that can be configured in the window type, such as the properties of the step, steps, etc..  But as far as I know, the behavior of the control flow step types (for example, hop, back at the beginning of a block of loop after a late stage) does not seem to be defined by a lower level, flag, attribute or any other configuration item - it seems to be something inherent to the motor TestStand.

    If this is the case, how the TestStand engine knows to provide the functionality for a particular flow control step type?  It runs the appropriate logic based on the name of the step type?  I suspect that this may be the case, because if I create new types of step in copying the types of step ForEach and end without any changes other than to specify the new name for the beginning of the block and end step types, new types of step repeat not the loops as expected.

    Can someone clear this up for me?  Types of flow control step break the model completely define the features by changing the type of step, or I am simply not find relevant configuration items?  I tried to create a new type of end step that allows an expression pre, but it broke my step ForEach (new) type loopback functionality.  Is it possible to do what I want?

    You are right that the engine processes specially the flow control measures. He looks at the name of step type. If you want the same behavior execution, you must keep the original name of type step as a prefix on your step type name, such as NI_Flow_End_CustomizedByMe.

    Also, check out the http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/copy-of-NI-Flow-End-does-not-work/m-p/290170/highlight/true#M88...

    There is the source code that is similar to what the engine makes the steps of flow control. That was the actual code before it moved into the engine. It might be a bit outdated now. I found this on my machine in C:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\TestStand 2010\Components\StepTypes\FlowControl\
