• How to install the printer with the laptop. Printer was used with another computer.

  I wanted to use a printer with my laptop lexmark. The printer was used with another computer and it worked fine, but when I tried to use it with the laptop, I was not able find the installation disk and tried to install without it. The laptop produces a message indicating he could find the internet facility info if I accepted this. He had apparently fulfilled this function, and I tried to print a document. The document has been printed, but the result was so low, that it was not readable. I then found the installation disk and tried to restart but was confused by the messages and options. I don't have a printer that prints. Help.

• Print file stuck in the coil, the message "unable to copy the name of the file: it is used by another person or program".

  Recently, I tried to capture a job by a break of a print queue, print work and copy the files from the spool (under C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS) before unpausing the queue. However, when I try to copy the files, I get the error message "unable to copy the name of the file: it is used by another person or program". I tried several times with the same result. The only way to get the file off the ground is obviously t reactivate the print queue and they will quickly deteleted shortly after. Is there a way I can recover these files? Assume the change the port in 'File' to make a copy of file is on the table. I ran this in the title of administrator user rights.

  The file you are trying to "capture" you will do some good.  However, if you want to watch or copy it, first stop the print spooler.  Open the Services applet (start > run > services.msc > OK).  Scroll down to "Print spooler" and click "Stop".  Don't forget to restart the print spooler after you copy the file or you will not be able to print.

  

  If you want to print to a file rather than on paper, there are at least three ways to do it (not counting "Print to a file").

  Using the "Print to file" box will produce a *.prn file.  It contains commands specific to the printer; It cannot be opened by the usual word processor applications; It can be used to print to the printer selected in the print dialog box or printer that uses the same commands to the printer.  For example, you have a printer installed on 1 computer but you have physically moved the printer to computer 2, where it is now installed.  You can check the "Print to file" on the computer 1, save the file to a flash drive *.prn, carry it to computer 2 and then print it out by copying the file to the printer (in a command prompt window).

  1. the best way, IMO, is to print to a PDF using free CutePDF Writer.

  2. you can create a "generic, only the text" printer and select this option when you print.  This produces a *.txt file.  To install the generic/text printer only, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Start button, point to settings, and then click Printers.
  2. Double-click the add printer icon.
  3. Click the next button.
  4. When you are prompted "How is this printer attached to your computer? Click the local printer option button, and then click Next.
  5. In the manufacturers box, click Generic. In the Printers box, click generic/text only, and then click Next.
  6. In the available Ports box, click FILE, and then click Next.
  7. When you are prompted "do you want that your Windows-based programs to use this printer as the default printer?" click the no option button, and then click Next.
  8. When you are guests "would you like to print a test page?" click the no option button, and then click the Finish button.

  3. use the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, which may already be installed on your computer.  "XPS" was Microsoft's attempt to compete with Adobe PDF.  He did not.  Unfortunately, the only way to view a document produced by the XPS Document Writer is using the Microsoft XPS Viewer.

• My computer shows a file that I am trying to remove is opened or used by another user. How it traces and shut up so I can remove it?

• "The port is used by another device. Printer does not print.

  I have a printer Canon D661 on an Ispiron Dell s 545 under Win XP SP3.  Everything worked fine until today when he leaves the impression.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled the printer through Windows and through the uninstalling Canon.

  I have downloaded the latest drivers from Canon, did all my XP, updates my Dell updates driver material and restarted several times than I can count in the process.

  I've stopped and started the print spooler.

  Still nothing will print.  The printer status window insists that "the port is used by another device.

  I ran impression of Microsoft Diagnostic tool, he says that's all right.

  It is a USB port, as the mouse and keyboard.  Nothing else.  I tried swapping USB ports between elements, no help.

  The printer works fine if I plug it into my USB netbook, so it's not the printer.

  I receive the error message even if the printer is connected to the office he "belongs" to.

  Until yesterday it worked fine, same print network jobs on other computers.

  I went home from 11:00 to 18:30 today.  Help?

  Thanks for the reply!

  I tried what you suggested, but it did not work.

  Finally, I got it going.  For some reason even if it was still installed on LPT1 on that question and two other computers, this computer has stopped working.

  I found the installer was not obvious choice to install on USB1 and that was when he started working.

  Interestingly, it works installed on LPT1 on two laptop computers when it is connected in fact on their USB ports.

  Thanks again.

• Impossible to remove a printer from Windows 7 after his retirement from the server

  I'm trying to remove a printer from the network.  He took the RODC without problem.  Now, try to remove it from a Windows 7 machine, I get the error: "access is denied, cannot delete the device.  The printer was added to Windows 7 by opening the print share, and automatically installed the drivers.  Removing it should be equally easy or even automatic.

  I tried the following:

  1. There is no option "Run as Administrator" to the printer, or any level of the path of Control Panel.
  2. I have run CMD as administrator, then launched PRINTUI/s/T2.  For the printer driver will not uninstall because it is used by the printer and another printer.  So I don't want to uninstall the driver.  I want just the deleted network printer.
  3. The server shows no vestige on the part of the printer by using NET SHARE.
  4. I restarted the spooler on the server and the local computer printer
  5. I tried to disable UAC completely.  Still no access.
  6. There is no printing on the local computer under C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS.
  7. Under elevated privileges, I tried running PRINTUI /dn \\server\sharename.  Also PRINTUI /dn printername.  «Impossible operation completed (error 0 x 00000709).» Double check the name of the printer and make sure that the printer is connected to the network. "Why should it be connected to the network if I am trying to delete it?
  8. Also tried the PRINTUI /dl switch.  Wants the connected printer.
  9. Tried PRINTUI/dn/n \\servername\sharename of elevated privileges.  Access is denied.
  10. The printer is not in group policy.
  11. I searched for the appropriate methods of elimination of network printers where it was supposed to be done first customer.  Nothing found.
  12. From a command prompt high. A ran "Control Panel."  He opens the configuration panel.  Navigated to the printer and "remove hardware".  Same mistake.

  At the end of the day I will try to end the session, and then restart.  I don't expect you to do anything.

  In my case, my solution has proved to be much simpler.  I had been out of IT for years and was filling this position, trying to learn the tricks of the trade.  I had never been familiar with 'The printer management' tool AD Admin.  (Domain environment)  I just had to remove the printer out there.

  I had a good laugh when an another computer scientist who noted.

• Satellite A660-k17: can I remove the two primary partitions used for restoration?

  Hello
  I have 3 questions :) #.

  1. I burned a copy dvd recovery media, on a laptop A660 k17. There are two partitions on the disk that I think are there for the recovery. The first is 1.46 GB and it's for the recovery and another partition hidden 8.29 GB... and I think that the first contains the Recovery Wizard and the whole environment in which we will get through the repair of the system and the hidden disk contains the actuall with windows data, drivers and so on. Can I remove these two? I ask mainly on the first, if it is not necessary for the system to boot or something after that I have to recover the laptop to the factory setting.

  2 and I also want to leave my partitions so that I don't have to partition the whole drive from C 600 GB again. I have a D drive created but there is this response to a topic already in the forum http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64754&tstart=90
  who says that when I leave the partitions I created myself, that the recovery will be not available. I have a copy on dvd, but only to make sure no kidding something upward.

  3. when I want a clean system without some software which are preloaded on the oem recovery disk... I have to use windows recovery? or it will be the same as the toshiba one?
  Thanks for the reply possible :)
  Beautiful day :)

  > Can I remove the two primary partitions used for restoration?
  First not, but you can remove the Toshiba recovery partition if you created the recovery DVDs. One day, if you want to install the recovery image once again you can use created the recovery disc.

  An error message appears saying 'we couldn't start your camera. Please check that your camera is not currently being used by another program, and then try again. "The camera is not currently in use, as far as I know I have closed camera assistant software and you have disabled the camera at startup.

  Also, I tried using a different logitech webcam, but the computer doesn't seem to recognize it even though I installed the software.

  Any advice?

  Everything works perfectly.

  If you closed the camera assistant software then the webcam would not work without problems.
  Have you tried to start the webcam software, then MSN?
  Select this check box.

  I also disabled the webcam software in the msconfig-> Startup tab
  This prevents the webcam software to start during windows startup

  In the worst cases, you must remove the software from the webcam of the system and after restarting again, you must reinstall the software again
  Generally, this allows in most cases
