I have a recent LQ 300+II manual, and by browsing it I see it does support a range of Windows client versions, including 64-bit versions of XP and Vista (no mention yet of Win7); it does NOT mention ANY Windows Server version though.

Wow. The last dot matrix print I ever had was an EPSON LQ-850. I miss those days, back when printers made NOISE when they did something.
Can you even get tractor-feed paper anymore??

A number of businesses still require low-volume multi-copy forms, so Epson and the likes are still very much alive. Health certificates in the medical sector are one example.

hi everyone,
i hav a question about notebook and pc process speed..
why is my core i5 notebook with 2gb memory take times longer than personal computer in my office which is only core two duo and 3gb memory?
how if i add more memory into my notebook? will it start up faster?
and about processor, why notebook core i5 processor is only 2.40ghz and core two duo pc's is 2.93ghz?
is there a way to speed up my notebook startup time?
and the most confusing, playing the sims 2 in my notebook is 10 times faster and smoother than my pc, what happened?
thank's before

it could be as simple as this:
- an office PC is geared to serious applications, and not to maximum gaming speed;
- an office environment doesn't allow you to load a bunch of software goodies that may or may not help the user in some way, but surely reduce the system's responsiveness.
- a personal PC often is chosen for its graphics speed;
- a personal PC gets loaded with new software all the time.
OTOH there could of course be a more specific reason why one system behaves different from another.

It's not very clear what you're asking... if you're asking as to why your desktop boots faster than your laptop, well, there's a variety of factor involved:
0. Disk speed (laptops have traditionally shipped with relatively slow HDDs)
1. Processor speed
2. Operating System (some operating systems take a lot longer than others)
3. Applications loaded at boot time (some apps take a long time to load and of course, the more the longer it takes to load)
4. Domain/Shares (a computer that is part of domain may take longer to boot specially if it has to connect remote shares or setup scripts, Windows always tries to load these as part of the boot process)
As far as games playing faster/slower:
0. RAM Memory access architecture (the redesign of modern CPUs means faster RAM access speeds than in traditional front-side buss based systems)
1. RAM Memory speed/size (newer/faster memory means faster access and of course, if there's more of it, less time having to go to the disk which is significantly slower)
2. Disk speed (slowest part of loading games, having to access the disk creates bottlenecks)
3. Video card (when it comes to games, the quality of your video card will make a difference)

yes my notebook uses ati radeon and my pc on board.
how about processor speed?
anybody here know ASUS UX31 zenbook?
there's core i5 and core i7 processor for that type of ultrabook.
why core i7 is only 1.70 Ghz?
my notebook is using core i5 and 2.40 Ghz processor, which one is faster at processing?
can you compare ASUS UX31 zenbook(core i7) and TOSHIBA SATELLITE L635(core i5) for me?
btw, thankyou for the answer

I'm sure you can look up benchmarks online to see what processors are faster than others... even though the Core i7 and i5 sound similar, they were originally based on two different architectures, the Core i7 can pretty much access the RAM directly without a buss driver giving it faster access to the memory without a bottle-neck there. Don't know if that's still the case for those two so you'd have to look up current information on them.
...and no, I'm not going to compare computers for you.

Since the processor speed are similar you need to look at how many startup programs you running on boot. Is your personal PC and the office one running same applications on startup?
And no, unless you applications are using most of the memory, adding memory won't speed up the boot proccess.
There are options ( in Windows) to speed up certain applications, but to my knowledge it will not speed up boot process.

For FSF drivers? That's file system filter drivers on windows.

Eric,
I've had File System Internals[^] on my shelf for nearly a decade but it contains somewhat old and outdated info... still a great book to have though. I am still using it as a reference.
If you get this book... would be great if you could find a copy of the old Compuware DriverStudio... I would then recommend experimenting within a VM with Windows XP. Compuware DriverStudio would completely integrate with older versions of Visual Studio making development *much* easier and 1000% times faster.
It is a shame (and a huge loss) that Compuware DriverStudio was discontinued... it made driver development almost as easy as developing a 'Hello World' MFC app.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

I have seen various integration SW for VS, but what I ended up with was a modified VS project file that enables checksum calculation and all the needed flags for the DDK compiler, then point the exes path in VS to the DDK compiler/linker location. This has worked for me for development, since you can enable browsing, but for release builds I always use the DDK build env, you are guaranteed to be compatible that way.
In terms of project wizards I have tried a few, but I prefer to work in the raw, directly with the WDM API. OK, its perhaps slower, but one can import a lot of boiler plate code fomr old projects and you have the benefit of knowing exactly what is going on and controlling it. (Been doingh kernel dev for 10 plus years, all on NT (W2k, XP, W7) machines, and all with WDM (NT4 API was pretty much WDM too).
But hey, thatnks a lot for the book recomendation, I know the FS model changed to using filters, but I bet the guts of the details are the same as with older monolithic drivers (NT4 vs W2k for example for HW drivers). I shall trawl the net for old versions/online copies.

Hi All,
I have an HP Pavilion HDX949nr Entertainment Notebook PC with 20.1 inch wide screen. The problem with my laptop is that when i power up the PC, i only hear the it booting and the LCD backlight comes on but there is no video. The screen is completely blank. I have tried using an external monitor but the result is the same(there is no video signal to the external monitor). Is it possible that the video graphics adapter is damaged? Please any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Anything is possible at this point... can you see the BIOS images at all? If so, try to boot with a bootable CD like some sort of Linux, if that works, you have a driver problem. If not, then you definitely have some sort of hardware problem. On laptops, I've also seen the video cable get damaged from wear n tear (since they're so thin). Do you have integrated graphics or a video card? If you have a video card, then you can just buy a cheap replacement to see if you get graphics by replacing it, if you have integrated graphics, then you have to get the laptop serviced by the manufacturer, although depending on the age of the laptop, may just be worth buying something new.
It's easy to rescue your files, post questions if you need help with that.

I reckon your laptop is hosed.

Less than a year ago I bought an HP TouchSmart TM2-2050 for use at work. I LOVED IT. It was a convertible tablet that had a Core i3 processor, a decent size screen, capacitive multi-touch screen with stylus, etc. and it cost less than $1000. It was a bit heavy but I was able to live with that.
I left that job and wanted to buy a new one. HP has since dropped their tablet line and I have been unable to find anything that compares. 
ASUS has their Eee line with resistive touchscreens and Atom processor. My wife has one, and the CPU can't keep up with the stylus.
Everyone has a bloody Android tablet  which I might be able to live with if they had a stylus and could run BSD.
Dell and a few others have sub-$1000 tablets, but all with Atom processors.
There are still some "real" tablets out there (Dell, Lenovo, Fujitsu, etc) if you're willing to spend $1000-5000. I'm not.
I know that world is all gaga over touch these days, but I loved being able to take notes, add a drawing to chart on virtual paper.
Is the stylus dead?
Will Windows 8 make the problem better or worse?

Having recently purchased a new HP Deskjet 3070 network printer, I have noticed a small but very annoying issue.
Every 30 seconds or so, the 'Thinking' icon appears and further investigation shows it to be HPNetworkCommunicator.exe polling.
I cannot stop the process, it appears and disappears from the list and short of uninstalling the printer is there any remedy?
