If anyone here is running an HP LaserJet Pro, I’d love to chat about the sleep and power settings. The thing goes into power off mode after a certain amount of time. It feels pretty dumb that I have to manually toggle the power on and off just so my router can actually find it again. Thanks.
I'm on Vonage right now, used to use Google Voice too, but they seem pretty much the same here in the States, so I went with the first one since it's cheaper for calling Canada. I guess I'm happy with the service.
I actually sent a formal inquiry about this too. I got an instant auto-reply saying they'd get back to me ASAP, but it’s been 20 days now. Yesterday I just installed it on another desktop (even put it on my laptop, too) and basically just ran the same setup process I used on my first PC and everything works fine. I guess it makes sense when you think about it. I was just overthinking it by trying to use "Add Printer" like I usually do at the office.
Thanks, Henry Morales32, for looking into this and helping out.
I tried using the Print Driver and had to point it to the driver manually (which I guessed would work since there isn't even a readme), and yeah, it installed fine, but it's not what I need. It’s obvious the scanning utilities and printer tools that come with the full installation are missing (the ones that are already on my first PC). And obviously, I want that same setup on my second PC too. So, I’ll probably just redo the full setup on the second PC exactly like I did on the first one using a disc (pretty sure it's the same stuff from their website). Honestly, I don't see any other way to go about this. It seems like the only real solution. Too bad the folks at Brother aren't helping much. If I knew they were this unprofessional, I never would have bought their gear in the first place. I mean, surely I'm not the only person on the planet who wants to use a network printer on two different computers.
Picked up an HP LaserJet Pro (USB + wireless). Got it set up on one PC using the disc as a wireless network printer and everything’s fine. Printing, scanning, all the utilities work great on that machine.
Then I moved to a second PC on the same local network and tried using the Print Driver option. The PC shows two versions of the same printer, which is kind of confusing—one says Web Service with a port number, and the other just looks like a standard printer. host images I picked the one without the service and somehow dug up the driver in some subfolder on the disc via the "Have Disk" option. The PC said it was installed, but I don't think the scanner actually works. Since the utilities didn't install either, I wiped it because it felt messy, and now I'm stuck. I tried reaching out to support, but they haven't gotten back to me.
I'm thinking about just running the full setup from the disc on the second PC like I did with the first one, but I'm worried about messing things up. I guess I don't know if reinstalling will confuse the system. If anyone has any ideas or dealt with this before, I'd really appreciate the help.
If someone fixes the start and end times but everything goes sideways in the middle, no software is going to save you. You might as well just toss the movie or the subs. It basically means one of them isn't linear. All that tweaking only works if:
1) The offset between the video and the subs is consistent, which is easy enough to fix. 2) Both the movie and the subtitles are linear (meaning one might be faster than the other, but they both move at a steady pace).
If you can't fix it, it means the sub was made for a non-linear version—like a file with dropped frames—or the movie itself is just wonky like that.
So, if it’s not working, I’d say just hunt for a new sub (usually the easiest fix) or find a different movie. Don't waste your time. That's just my experience after digging through a collection of about 1,400 movies.
I mean, I don't know what you think you found, but it should be safe enough. That's how I used to do it when I was setting up the opC. There’s a connector on the motherboard where most of the front panel components plug in. You really need to have the MB schematic handy. Somewhere in there, you'll find a couple of Power ON/GND pins. Just bridge them for a few seconds—usually just with a screwdriver and then let go. That basically simulates hitting the actual Power ON button.
I mean, it's doable./ You can get PATA to SATA adapters. I've used them before and they work fine, I guess. https://www.google.com/search?q=pata+...w=1584&bih=953
I guess you chose to print to one of those virtual printers? If none of the Adobe Acrobat options work, then I'd say the document is probably protected somehow. Whenever I need to make a PDF out of something I'm working on, I usually just use SnagIt. Maybe try that. It isn't free, but you can find it online pretty easily. I think there's a 15-day free trial. You’ll have to go page by page, though. You basically "grab" the page with SnagIt and then use its built-in printer to turn it into a PDF. It would be better if you could do it all at once, but if it won't let you, I don't think there's any other way—or at least, I don't know of one.
Pretty weird stuff. Mine finally started working today, even though it was totally dead before. I even had a buddy in Canada try it yesterday and he couldn't get it to work either. Glad it's back up now, I guess.
It won't work on my two home PCs either, just like at the office. I actually just tried using Internet Explorer (even though I usually stick to Chrome) while at work, but no luck. It just sits there saying "Connecting..." and waits forever.
Honestly pretty weird, you wouldn't even believe it. I was convinced something was broken.
I guess HandBrake is pretty solid if you want to shrink files since you can dial in the exact size you're looking for, though quality might take a hit depending on what you do. I’ve tried HandBrake before too and it works fine, but it felt kind of limited because you could only pick from a few specific preset sizes they give you.
