Re: more about labeling products

[Guest guest]

This thread was a big help to me thank you very much. I am ordering

some waterproof inkjets today from onlinelabels and some other

labels too.

I have been printing labels off my HP Photoprinter (D5145) and

sometimes it gets a little attitudy and DOESNT want to print what I

ask it to. I got my templates from Avery and I am using them in

Publisher to make my labels and some labels print some won't.

Perhaps it doesn't like to print labels? I don't know of anyone

else has this problem but any advice would be much appreciated.

There is no particular size it doesn't like, I've played with all

the Printer Settings, it will load a page as if it were going to

print it then after sitting there for about 5 minutes it spits out a

blank sheet and goes back to standby mode. Then I go to print

another label and it prints just fine. It does that for both front

labels with a picture and back labels with text only.

I have spent a whole lot time troubleshooting this thing and I am

extremely frustrated.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Mac! I used to use PC's until I had a virus and bought a

Mac. I would never go back to a PC again.

well it is pretty easy on a Mac - and less problems

than I ever had on my Compaq or Dells. lol Both brands

which I spent hours and hours on the help line with

hard drive issues that weren't my fault... sooo

I can honestly say I enjoy my MAC... lolol it's quite

different though and after working on IBM type PC for

how many years???!! I am ac tually forgetting how they

work! lol when I go to the library I sit there and

kind of have to look at the computer for a minute

before my brain remembers where everything is.

whaaahahaaha

So the laptops are heavy duty?  We keep having virus/ trojan problems with BOTH

our PC's no matter what antivirus program (s) we try and I hear MAC is way

better because a virus cannot affect your entire system.  I'm trying to talk my

other half into us getting a MAC laptop.   I'm going to forward him some

info.  Besides isn't it better to get a seperate computer for a business?? lol!

lol right - MAC doesn't even consider their power book

a laptop - lol

But there's no reason not to get a desktop model

[which are less expensive usually] unless you want to

be able to travel - I knew I was going to be traveling

quite a bit when I bot mine ;o) but believe me - I

run it ALL day and often night - I hardly every shut

it down. And now with bigger RAM and hardrives geez!

it's so much cheaper now to get all that extra memory.

;o)

You can't go wrong with a Mac!!! I have always had a Mac and when I have

had to work on a Windows machine I get so frustrated. Macs spoil you.

Thats for sure. We have our whole office Mac, (all 3 computers ;-)

hooked up to a 1-Terabyte Time Capsule. It is an absolute joy.

Wireless, automatic backups every hour on every machine, effortlessly.

Its really nice when you want to recall an old recipe that perhaps you

saved over thinking that this one is the one, only to find you liked

the old version better ;-) Not only that but we use MacBooks, they

are awesome because when in the office we plug them into 22 " displays

and have and use 2 screens, which is really nice and give you lots of

space to work in, and use a wireless keyboard & mouse. Then when you

need to go somewhere you just unplug the display etc., etc. and take

it wherever you need to go. It is truly a joy. I would never in a

million years use Windows again. And anyway, Mac even thought of that.

I have windows installed on this computer and I can restart my macbook

in windows mode and it is EXACTLY, 100% windows. Ya, I did that maybe

2 times in my life, but it is nice to know if you ever absolutely MUST

use windows for something, there it is in your Mac, just with a simple

restart and you are in the ugly world of windows.

I highly recommend getting a time machine to replace your Airport

Extreme (if you have one) If your computer ever bites the dust (which

they do) you dont have to rely on your last manual back-up to hard

drive or cd. You simply rebuild your new computer from your time

capsule latest back-up, which is never longer than 1 hour. So lets say

you only back up your computer once a month (if you remember) and on

the 28th day your computer seizes up and dies. That means you lost 28

days of work from your last back-up. With Time capsule it backs any

changes you made on your computer every hour, so if your computer

died, the most you would ever lose is one hour of work. You buy a new

computer and rebuild it from your last time capsule back-up and voila,

your computer is exactly as it was an hour before it died.

Amazing..... can you tell I am impressed??? There is no better more

exciting time in history to be using a Mac computer than now.

You know what they say " Once you go Mac you never go back. " hehehehehe

Have a great day,

R. Lorenti Jr.

I just wanted to give an update and say THANK YOU.  My computer is fairly old

and we are looking for a PC 100 memory stick.  So...I'm using one of our other

computers and I connected to our printer, used the template that actually works

(not downloaded from Avery) and it all worked s m o o t h l y.  I'm staring at

my perfectly and timely printed labels grinning!  Everything went smooth

tonite.  I'm a happy girl!
