    Intermittant Printing With Windows 8

    I don't think so, because we can periodically print. Plus I can always connect to the printers configuration page by looking at in in IE by putting in the IP address. This is a strange problem, in previous versions of windows, printer installation has always been a no brainer. I have seen...

    Intermittant Printing With Windows 8

    The "Print Direct To Printer" button is grayed out for both printers, so I don't have that option.

    Intermittant Printing With Windows 8

    The HP 4250 is a couple of years old, but the Ricoh is a high end color LaserJet that I just bought earlier this year. Both printers had drivers built in to Windows 8. The printers do go into low power mode after a period of time, but I have "woken them up" prior to printing and it didn't seem...

    Intermittant Printing With Windows 8

    No, they are not connected directly to the PC at all. They are in a different room, but connected to the PC through our corporate LAN. All of our computers communicate with the printers through their network IP address. We have 12 other computers, most running Win 7 but a couple running XP...

    I dont want to reinstall the OS, everything seems to be working fine, I was just questioning if the single partition for the boot drive will be stable.

    Windows 8 uncertainty blamed for decline in PC sales

    Win 8 was a step in the right direction for windows on tablets, and for people that dont use their desktops for much more than a few programs and surfing the web. But for technical computing and business use, MS missed the boat altogether. They are abandoning the accumulated expertise of their...

    Windows 8 Repairing Server 2012 Installation

    I installed Windows Server 2012 on a new machine and for some reason, the install put the "System Reserved" partition on one disk (the data disk) and the "System Boot" partition on another disk (my intended system boot disk). The Server 2012 install disk does not have a repair option, so I...

    Microsoft to kill the Messenger on March 15

    I didnt realize that MS had purchased Skype. Its funny that I noticed that about a year ago I started getting more and more scam calls on Skype. That almost corresponds with MS's purchase.

    Windows 8 uncertainty blamed for decline in PC sales

    I have to partially agree, the OS is not really hurting sales all that much. Most people realize that they can do everything that they need to do with what they already have, and in this economic climate everyone is keeping ther spending at a minimum. But, I do believe that 8 is somewhat to...
