HP power supply

2010-03-08 Thread KEVIN Lock
Over the weekend I salvaged two HP PSC all-in-one printers from a roadside. I have managed to get them working, however I do not have any spare HP power adaptors. The HP power adaptor has a three pin grey plastic plug to the printer. I'm hoping that someone may have such an adaptor gatheri

Thanks Graeme I'm not sure which printer you have (possibly Canon) but my experience with the RIHAC CISS with my Epson Photo R230 has been very easy and almost flawless over the last 15 months. No drama with having to insert chips (they're in the supplied continuous cartridges) and the fitting

Hi Peter, To add a little to James & Alan's comments. 1. Time Machine usually needs 2-3 times the size of what it's backing-up (20%? Workspace). I certainly would not be doing a first time backup of the iMovie files while using the computer. Before you attempt another backup of the iMovie

Ok, thanks for the tip on excluding movies from backup. It seems sensible to exclude and I can see how editing numerous files would quickly expand the backup to be a huge thing. Regards Peter.. -Original Message- From: wamug-ow...@wamug.org.au [mailto:wamug-ow...@wamug.org.au] On Behalf

Hi Peter James's suggestion to localise the potential trouble is good. But I recommend that you totally exclude movies from Time Machine backup. Make a manual backup of movies some other way. TM will backup entire files each time. If you are editing a movie clip, then each resultant edited cli

Hi Peter, Can I suggest that you go into your System Preferences, then Time Machine, Options... and click on the Plus sign to select your movies folder to exclude it from backups (you can also check the size of the movies folder in the Finder). Then, ask your machine to "Back Up Now". Check that

This doesn't sound right? How are you connected to the time capsule? If you are on wireless, I suggest getting a network cable and do a over the wire backup. It should run much faster. My guess is that it is taking multiple backups of each of the iMovie clips. In my case iMovie splits the i

Horses for courses! For most print jobs non original inks perform well. I would think that a serious print job would rate a dedicated photo printer and with that, genuine inks, but for the bulk of print jobs on a regular printer my eye cannot see the difference. Over the years I have
