Re: Epson Stylus Pro 3880

2010-07-14 Thread Rob Davies

Morning All,

Not sure if this will solve issue, but I have noticed some strange behaviour 
with print queues recently.
This happens when a job for some unknown reason does not print or sits in Que. 
Waiting, why??? (printer off, connection not available, out of ink/toner??)

First point of call for all printing problems is the CUPS Administrative page 
via browser through localhost:631 directly from machine attempting printing.
Click on Administration tab then printers which will list all printers - status 
column will show actual error. 
Most times just deleting actual print job solves issue, done from Jobs Tab, 
make sure go back to Administration page.
Then, Jobs - Manage Jobs button this will produce a list of jobs waiting, 
cancel job and try again to print from printer.

Password if asks for, being an administrator of your machine.


Cheers!
`RobD...

 Hi All,
 
 Just wondering if anyone can help me.
 
 I have sent jobs to the printer as normal, and nothing is happening.
 The jobs are getting stored, but not printing,
 and it is showing status as stopped.
 I've been using this same printer for a couple of years and have never seen
 this status.
 Any suggestions greatly appreciated, as I have a heap of stuff to print
 today and this is not a good start...

Hi Rosalyn,

I don't know if it will help, but you can check various aspects of the
printer/print queue by using your browser to look at the CUPS area (behind
the scenes in the Mac OS) - easier to do than to explain!

On my computer, the following URLs are relevant (for your computer you would
replace the nrh-iMac27 with the name of YOUR computer - which you can see
by looking in the Sharing pane of System preferences):

http://nrh-imac27.local:631/ takes me to the top level (home) for CUPS
which presents links to lots of info about CUPS. Clicking on the Printers
tab (or directly inputting the following URL) takes me to:

http://nrh-imac27.local:631/printers/ which gives a list of installed
printers (in my case, at present, just one Canon iP4000) and their status
(in my case, current status for the Canon is Idle)

You can then click on the actual Queue Name for your printer which will
take you to the actual page for that printer - in my case:
http://nrh-imac27.local:631/printers/Canon_iP4000

Which gives a bit more description - ie Canon_iP4000 (Idle, Accepting Jobs,
Shared)

Obviously your set-up would give you printer name, rather than the Canon.

As I say, I don't know if it will help you - but some of the status
descriptions may give some pointer to your problem.


Cheers

 Also try another USB Cable after the above as well.

!! CORRECTION!!

Following up on this - with my original URLs (using computer name) some
links (eg the Admin page) gave 403 forbidden errors.

Rob Davies' post pointed me in the right direction - use local host
(thanks Rob!)

For completeness, I have corrected my original post (below) to reflect this
but, as Rob says, you can probably just cut to the heart of it by going
direct to the Administration page at:

http://localhost:631/admin

Rob's experience is that deleting the existing job(s) in the queue usually
clears the problem.

One thing I sometimes find works when things hang is just to pause the
printer and then resume it.


Good luck!


Cheers

Most USB things come to life with that sort of basic method. The hot plugging 
in kind of wakes things up again and the turning off and on makes sure the 
printer is not in a error state.
Glad I could help.

Changing 'hourly scale' in Entourage

2010-07-14 Thread Rob Phillips





Hi everyone

Perhaps this is just a Microsoft 'feature', but I live in hope...

I'm using Microsoft Entourage 2008 V12.2.5 (100505) with OS 10.6.4 for
calendaring.

I use the weekly view, so I can see all days of the week. In this view,
I can only see 12 hours of the day. I can scroll up and down, but I
can't overview more than 12 hours. This is a hassle because I have some
early morning entries and some evening entries, and I can't see them
all. I'd like to change the scaling of the hourly scale so I can see
more hours in a day. I can't find a way to do this. I can resize the
Entourage Window, but this does scale the hours, so I still see
only 12 hours.

If anyone can understand what my problem is (:-|) I'd appreciate ideas
about how to solve it.

Regards
Rob

Hi Rob, I am an ex-Entourage user and am now a Mail and iCal convert,
but I am forced to use Outlook in my work environment due to the work
platform chosen - this is the view upon which Entourage has been cloned
from. However, in MS Outlook there is ToolsOptionsPreferencesCalendar
Options which may direct you to some way of presenting the screen to
meet your needs. Not 100% sure this will work for you, but the best I
can suggest given my history with Entourage.

I use the weekly view, so I can see all days of the week. In this view,
I can only see 12 hours of the day.  I can scroll up and down, but I
can't overview more than 12 hours. This is a hassle because I have some
early morning entries and some evening entries, and I can't see them
all. I'd like to change the scaling of the hourly scale so I can see
more hours in a day.  I can't find a way to do this.  I can resize the
Entourage Window, but this does scale the hours, so I still see only 12
hours.

If anyone can understand what my problem is (:-|) I'd appreciate ideas
about how to solve it.

Apple at M-GC

2010-07-14 Thread Paul Weaver

I just saw in a newsletter from Garden City that the Myer department store 
there has opened an Apple computer section again.  They've done this at least 
two times during the past several years.

Cheers, Paul.

Re: Changing 'hourly scale' in Entourage

2010-07-14 Thread Daniel Kerr

Hi Rob

Unfortunately you can't change it I'm afraid. I find my Calendar view on my
15 MacBookPro will display about 18 hours with the Window as big as
possible. (Though I actually use iCal for the Calendar, I only use Entourage
for email). 
This link has some ideas to work around it though.
http://www.officeformac.com/ms/ProductForums/Entourage/11183
Nothing super, but some may be of help.

It's strange though, as in iCal you can tell it your working day is
longer, and it will then shrink the hours to fit in one Window.
I tried this in Entourage (Entourage menu - Preferences - Calendar) and
changed the work hours from 9am-5pm to 5am to 9pm and it didn't change the
view. (So not as good as iCal) :O(

Sorry can't offer more advice then that,...but yes,..seems to be a
feature.

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

 Hi Rob, I am an ex-Entourage user and am now a Mail and iCal convert,
 but I am forced to use Outlook in my work environment due to the work
 platform chosen - this is the view upon which Entourage has been cloned
 from. However, in MS Outlook there is ToolsOptionsPreferencesCalendar
 Options which may direct you to some way of presenting the screen to
 meet your needs. Not 100% sure this will work for you, but the best I
 can suggest given my history with Entourage.

 Subject: Changing 'hourly scale' in Entourage
 
  
 
 Hi everyone
 
 Perhaps this is just a Microsoft 'feature', but I live in hope...
 
 I'm using Microsoft Entourage 2008 V12.2.5 (100505) with OS 10.6.4 for
 calendaring.
 
 I use the weekly view, so I can see all days of the week. In this view,
 I can only see 12 hours of the day.  I can scroll up and down, but I
 can't overview more than 12 hours. This is a hassle because I have some
 early morning entries and some evening entries, and I can't see them
 all. I'd like to change the scaling of the hourly scale so I can see
 more hours in a day.  I can't find a way to do this.  I can resize the
 Entourage Window, but this does scale the hours, so I still see only 12
 hours.
 
 If anyone can understand what my problem is (:-|) I'd appreciate ideas
 about how to solve it.
 
 Regards
 Rob
