Why do you keep changing the printer network protocols and breaking the printer drivers? Because they think it is funny to watch their customers have to scramble. As long as M$ can keep their customers off balance with such nonsense and the constant need to patch, patch, patch, they are assured that customers have no time to think about or migrate to computing platforms that work a lot better.

Re: [CGUYS] In Los Angeles
There may be a phone jack from the old phone system in each room... connect the cable modem's phone line to the wall jack, and all the jacks in the house will be active. You may want to disconnect the old wires going to the outside world, as they cause a reduction in the signal strength. I have seen some printers that don't want to work with networks... but it is rare. I have had some trouble recently with older operating systems mixed with newer opsys not wanting to print on certain printers. Right now, my Epson All-in-one under Win7 will not play on the network with the older Vista computers. Come on, Microsoft... this is not rocket science! This should work!

Can you imagine? Almost was not able to make the trip: from Belo Horizonte to Miami, 7.30 hours...the from Miami to LA 5.30 hours...squeezed there...in the back... But now here I am with my "expertise" trying tp fix their computers. One HP Quadcore and a Toshiba Laptop connedted in a wireless network. At least two problems: 1. They have a Cable Modem and the phone line comes in at the TV room and is not wired through the house. The printer is a all-in-one Epson WorkForce 310. Well in order for the Epson to send faxes we must connect the phone line in the TV room...Not too close...The same to connect the Epson to the network in the modem, who also is there in the TV room? Too complicated to pass these two wires. Any shortcut? 2. The way it is I am trying to make the Laptop to print in the Epsom printer that is connected to the HP...through the wireless network. Have tryig all I think I knew...can't do it!... Help! Is the turkey being prepared? Any advice on how to prepare it? Happy Tnaksgiving, for me the best holiday of them all...

Re: [CGUYS] In Los Angeles
If you have to send a lot of faxes, do it on the internet. Note that most people can take email now, so faxes may not be necessary. Are you sure the Epson is shared on the network? Does either machine see it? Do they both see shared folders on each other? On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 10:39 AM, Marcio wrote: > 1.
