Settings in the local printer that is applied to all users
Greetings:
I need a little assistanace. We use Windows XP with SP3.
On some of our machines, we have the local installed "Generic/text" only printer This printer is connected to COM1.
Our users are domain users with roaming profiles with Folder Redirection.
Question:
I need to change the preferences of the generic/text only on the local computer printer printer so that the settings are applied to ANY user who connects to this PC. The settings will be the same for all users. I do not if it is a domain user or a local user that connects to a PC. What I need, is that if this PC is the only generic/text printer installed I want some printing preferences to be applied to this printer regardless of the user.
Most of the research shows how to network printers, but nothing for a local printer. The closest I came was an article for Windows 7, but when I tried to adapt this article for my needs, it did not work.
Any suggestions would be appreicated.
Kind regards
Keith

Original title: my laptop has lost all printers and windows & no longer recognizes them. Help! I can't print anything
I use my laptop computer in a docking station. I took it out to take for a trip and when I got home I plugged it back (as I always do). Just before the trip, I have upgraded to Windows 7 and all my printers were working very well. When I got home and pluged again, Windows does not recognize one of my printers. When I try to add printers a say8ing error message "Windows can't open add printer." The local print spooler service is not running. Please restat the spooler or restart the machine. "I tried to restart and turn off the printer, etc. Can someone help me?
Hi RobynGP,This may occur if the print spooler requires other services, and these services are not running. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:1. in Services, right-click on print spooler and then click Properties.
2. click the Dependencies tab. The first box list all system services that must work for the print spooler start. These are dependencies.
3 make a note of each service, click OK, and restart each service on which the print spooler is dependent, if the service is not already started. If a service is not started, right-click, click Properties, and then make sure that the startup type is automatic.Let us know if this helped.

Hello
After upgrading to windows 7 Home premium 64 bit vista family premium 64-bit, I expected to be able to connect my EPSON Stylus D68 printer on my laptop and leave immediately. However, when I tried to do this installation constantly failed. Therefore, I went to the manual add the printer option in the menu devices and printers. However I met this error message: "Windows cannot add a printer. The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spoiler or restart the machine,"after reviewing the existing forums on the issue, I tried to restart the services option. However, the restart option has been obscured and when I just tried to start then I met an other error message: "windows could not start the spooler on the local computer service, error 1053: service has failed to demand launch or control in a timely. more when I click Properties to the spooler in the description it says failure to read the description. error code: 1813. This is all very frustrating for someone who just wants to add a printer to his laptop computer. can someone please? because I am all of these ideas.

Remove all of the default search engine but google for all users?
I work for a school district that uses web filtering out both in network. We were running through a situation where our students are able to move from Google to Yahoo search engines to see inappropriate material. We have worked with our provider of web filtering outside to prevent that from happening, but so far no resolution of the problem. As I'm about to about 600 computers images for fall next, staff, admins, and especially Parents (I'm sure) would be as is not the case.
My question is this. Is it possible to change search preferences in the application Firefox so that all students can use to search is Google? I can do the application itself, or is this another case where the settings are all stored in the profile users?
Thank you
Look in user.js creation and the lock settings, so the local user cannot change it.
This should help!

Lack of 'Print Settings' in the Canon printer dialog box
Hello
I googled around for this, but I have not found an answer to this question. Maybe someone here would know?
I want to print a photo in Lightroom 3 on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. I have a printer Canon MP800R. I want Lightroom to manage the color, and I am able to choose glossy paper profile I want in the print job Panel in Lightroom. However, when I click on print and get to the part where I should disable color management in the printer dialog box I am not able to do. There is no section of print settings in the dialog box. For as far as I understand, all the important things happening in this section of print settings, see http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_print/lr2-print.htm. Why I don't see print settings?
I would add that if I go ahead anyway with Lightroom managed printing, the colors are disabled, but if I use Managed by printer colors are decent.

I'm sure that the profile you choose LR Print | Print job . Color management | Profile: is not correct for your paper.
SP4 is the profile of low quality for Photo Paper Plus Glossy which is a whole ' nother animal!
It is, I do not think that Canon has released a specific profile for Glossy Photo paper which, I suppose, that they consider to be a document of 'consumer '.
Whenever I used the paper, I used "managed by printer" and never imagined I could do much better with it.
You can try setting "Canon IJ Printer Profile 2005 color" as well as the profile, but I'm reasonably confident that will give you exactly the same thing as "managed by printer" for the reason that I think it's the profile of the Canon driver applies "under the hood" when you make this choice.
(You should try, or PP + SemiGloss Photo Paper Plus Glossy - they're good!)
See you soon

Unable to delete the local printer on my system port
Hello!
I wanted to use printer my colleague (HP Laserjet P2015d), which is not a LAN port. But our computers are connected to a local network. That's why I created a local port on my system to access this printer. I have been using this printer for the last 15-20 days. I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit running on my system, while my colleague has Windows XP 32-bit.I don't know what happened, but since yesterday, I am not able to print documents using this printer. After that I have give the document to print, check the status and it says "Error-printing" in the icon of the printer. Then, I removed the printer from Control Panel and added he returned with the same existing local port. It worked once, but the problem came back again.I thought the local port itself the deletion and addition of it.Then I tried to delete the local port by selecting this printer-printer server properties >->-> port of remove the Ports tab... But the local channel under question is not deleted. It throws a message "the requested resource is currently in use".Then I repeated the above procedure after stopping the service from the coil and it restarts again. But it did not work.So, I changed the printer driver, but the problem is not yet solved. Finally, I asked my colleague to check if the printer works by giving an impression of its system. It worked this way. I asked him then to disable sharing the printer and turn it back on. Yet, the problem was not resolved.I ask you to give me advice on how to solve this problem.Click Start
Control Panel
Devices and printers
Right-click on your printer, on the left, click printer properties.
Click on the ports
TOU can deselect printer ports there.

I've updated to the latest version of the software iOS overnight last night and now I can't access email on my iPad mini or Safari. When I go into settings, a notice is displayed under the general rubric that there is 1 available software update, but when I click on the link for the software update, it runs just endlessly. I am not able to connect to the WiFi (nothing happens when I click on the WiFi button). Did not have this kind of problem before. Thanks for any idea.
Hello
Try a reboot press & hold the power button / stop & menu button
Hold the two for up to 30 seconds until you see the apple logo.
Then try update on your WiFi

Hi, I would like to ask how to view the current settings of the sequence, I'm already working the same information that is displayed when you open for the first time a new sequence

I forgot what setting I chose for my current sequence and tried to look under project settings , as well as the sequence settings
but do not show the news that you see when you open a new sequence for the first time, especially if the edit mode is PAL or NTSC etc.
How can I find this information which my current sequence is on?
Thank you

When I download compressed files, they go to the local level > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to local > temp location and delete the zip file? Knowing that I still have the data in the My Documents folder.
Once they are checked, of course. If you want to keep a backup, you can move the zip file in your documents folder.
In fact, you can delete everything in the temporary folder that is not currently in use. Best time to do this removal is immediately after the start, before launching other applications.
