hooah posted:How do I do that? Right-clicking on either of the printer's entries in Devices and Printers doesn't give that option. What happens when she presses Windows Key + R and types in wiaacmgr.exe & presses the Enter key? Also, both of your computers do have the Print Server tool. On your PC, go into Administrative Tools >Print Management >Print Servers and right click on your PC and select "Export printers to a file". Get this file onto her PC. On her PC, press the Start button. Type cmd in the search box. Cmd.exe will appear at the top of the search - open it. This will launch a black window. Enter the following exactly: printui /s /t2 Find and delete the printer under the Drivers tab. Now click Add. Import the file from your PC.

All-in-one printers are really two devices in one box that are handled separately. The scanner should show up under "Imaging devices" in Device Manager.

I'm trying to set up Remote Desktop so I can access my desktop from my laptop while at a friend's house or whatever. Can I check that it worked using my router's IP address while still on that network? I think I did everything right (port forwarding, allowing it through the firewall, etc), and it works when I just give the computer name, but giving it the IP doesn't.

Get a friend to try, otherwise find an online port scanner to see if it gets a result from that port. Picked at random http://www.whatsmyip.org/port-scanner/

My old machine can't scan into Paint (as well as Photoshop and other apps using WIA). The new machine I just built works fine. The only difference is that on the old one I downloaded and installed the driver package manually and on the new one I just let windows detect the printer and install the drivers automatically. I'm trying this now. I'll edit when it's done. Edit: I found drivers through Windows Update, but the problem persists.

The only other thing I can think of is to have you share the printer via Homegroup. Type "share printers" or "Homegroup" on the start page of Windows 8, but I don't know how well this will work with scanning, honestly.

Avast's plugin seems to have started to screw with Chrome's ability to load pages (some, but not all). Other browsers work fine, and when in incognito and the plugin is disabled (or just disabling the plugin in normal mode) everything works normally too. Anyone else seen this?

hooah posted:Edit: I found drivers through Windows Update, but the problem persists. What should I investigate next? Did you go to Devices and Printers (with no drivers installed) and click "Add a Printer"? That should scan for and install the printer. That's what I did and it worked for me. I tried it in a Windows 7 virtual machine and it worked there too. (I had to enable checking Windows Update there, though I had probably disabled that previously in my test VM). Of course I have a different printer, so my experience might not be relevant.

Is there a Remote Desktop management software that doesn't totally suck? We bought Remote Desktop Manager Enterprise at work, and it takes, no kidding, 30 seconds to start, and the UI looks like some old person has clicked every "install this toolbar?" ad ever invented. I've used Terminals, but I installed the last version (3.4) and it is very buggy, menu items disappear, it hangs when exiting etc. Then I tried mRemoteNG which looks neat, but the Active Directory import bugs out after 10 computers. What do you guys use? I'm looking for something minimal, with 2-3 different saved credentials, a "connect to: " field where I can enter a computername and if possible, tabbed windows for several sessions. SSH support is neat but not a must.

Create a shortcut to C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe and put it in C:\windows. Change the shortcut name to ps. edit: you can place the shortcut in the powershell folder if you don't want to add to the windows folder.

Whoever decided that "B/min" was a good counter to include in the resource monitor for Server 2008 is a bad person. On an unrelated note, is there a counter to track Bytes/bits per second by individual process or end point? Pretty much everything is either a running total or "B/min".

It will feed you a couple previous versions. Hide, refresh, repeat, and it'll stay away eventually. EDIT: Wait, only 7 does that. Weird; I just managed to do that in 8.1 doing exactly what you described. EDIT 2: It's an admin operation. If you're still using the first user account, and you turned UAC off, turn it back to default; Windows 8 and on auto-deny admin operations if you're using a privileged account with UAC off. ... We're going to be dealing with the fallout of Vista's UAC for decades, aren't we. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Feb 21, 2014 |

Sir Unimaginative posted:It will feed you a couple previous versions. Hide, refresh, repeat, and it'll stay away eventually. Interesting. So when you use the metro style update in 8.1, you can't do that. You have to use the desktop control panel and then you can right click to hide. Also of note, there were updates in the control panel that were NOT in the metro update center.
