I just spend $43 dollars on Printer Ink!!!! Wow, I feel like I just filled up the tank in my car, but it was the printer! And I bought it at the cheapest place in town, Wal-mart!! So I decided to take my own advice and setup a second printer to only print black and white. No, not a new second printer, but a duplicate of the original printer, setup for only draft printing. I have set up printers for my customers before to save them ink but have never done so until today because I didn’t think it would make enough of a difference, but it really does.
To set this up, go into your control panel and printers and devices or printers and faxes. Add a new printer, local printer or network printer depending on your setup. You can always look at the properties of the original printer to get the network IP addres or host name or if it is using a usb cable connection. Proceed to setup the printer and name it BW_Printer so you will know the difference between printing Black and White or Color. Once the printer is installed, right click the printer and go to properties, or if Window 7, printer properties. On the general tab look for the preferences or printing preferences button. All printer manufacturers are different in designing software, but the gist of what you want to set is a print quality setting of draft ( Most likely choices are draft, normal, best ) and print colors as Black and White. Save the settings and use that printer for only black and white printing that does not need to be the best quality. While testing the new settings you will see the printer will print faster and a lighter than black print, but hey, you are saving money and stretching your ink! And in this day, every penny counts!
Have you had this problem on a PC or Terminalserver? Well Im adding a post of a solution I found!
This is because when Outlook 2003 crashes or fails to load, the program generates this error message when you restart it. Safe Mode is a special operating mode that disables several of Outlook’s features but at least lets the program load so you can see existing emails and access other elements of the software.
What is happening here is that the program is not clearing the entry in the computer’s registry so it continues to display the error message.
To fix the problem you need to go into the registry on the server and do a search for ”Resiliency” there will be quite a few entries (dependant on the number of terminal server users), you need to delete ( Export Registry Items before deleting in case they need to be added back ) every entry that referrs to Outlook it should be something along the lines of:
HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrent VersionTerminal ServerInstallSoftwareMicrosoftOffice11.0OutlookResiliency
and
HK_USERSS-x-xxxx….…..SoftwareMicrosoftOffice11.0OutlookResiliency

Today I had an individual call and inform me that he could no longer get onto his wireless network at home because the wireless router had been reset. He was trying to make a Kindle Book reader work with his wireless network and thought, hey if I reset this wireless router, it will work. Well, it reset the device back to factory defaults and not only did it not work, it also knocked off the main computer and would not reconnect. The security settings and wireless network name had changed. So in his desperation to fix the network again he calls the manufacturer of the device, Belkin, who remoted into his computer and proceeded to check the computer for problems. After thorough diagnostics it was found to have many issues that Belkin was willing to fix for $169!! But wait, the computer was working fine he exclaimed. The wireless router was the issue. But to fix the wireless router, Belkin must first fix the computer! Belkin tech support never even looked at their wireless router, they diagnosed the computer and found problems. Disgusted, D ( Well call him D to keep him Anonymous ), called AT&T who would not work on the issue until D signed up for a monthly maintenance fee of $15 to offer technical support for “their” devices. So in theory if AT&T had determined it was not their issue, D would have signed up for a service that would have been of no use to him after the phone call. So finally D called me because he remembered that I worked on computers and might be able to help. Thank God he did and after hearing about how quickly these companies ( Belkin and AT&T ) were willing to sabotage his lack of technical knowledge to make a quick dollar, I thought I would post this discussion to inform you to please ask around more than 10 times before making any decisions about technology or anything for that matter. It seems there are more companies that are out to make a quick buck instead of having any integrity and helping someone out. In the end I was able to correct D’s problem in 5 minutes and did not charge him anything! Be safe out there, there are a lot of sharks out there who care nothing more than to take advantage and make easy money.
