Bonjour printing from a Canon MF4350d

Posted by Dave in November 12th 2010  

I had to write to Canon to get this but if you’re finding this via Google trick is to not have any other canon drivers on your client machines.
Hi Dave,

Thank you for writing to us. We value you as a Canon customer and appreciate the opportunity to assist you. We are sorry to hear you are having troubles.

During our testing we have not found that the UFR II printer driver v2.10 has removed the ability to share via Bonjour.
We are still able to share our MF4350 via Bonjour here in our lab using our iMac as a host and another Mac as the client.

To make this host-client setup work for you, it is best to remove all instances of the Canon UFR II printer driver from the host and client mac.
Delete the following folders and files for the Canon UFR II driver.
System Volume/Library/Printers/Canon/UFR2
System Volume/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/CNTD*.ppd.gz
System Volume/Library/LaunchAgents/jp.co.canon.UFR2.BG.plist

Then install the UFR II driver v2.10 on the host mac via usb.
Do not install any Canon UFR II drivers on the client mac.
Go to the Preferences > Printers and choose the + sign, then choose the MF4350 via Bonjour and Add.
Now when you print from any application on your client mac, it should print fine.

Dwight Howard needs to read this.

Posted by Dave in November 4th 2009  

After last night’s game against Detroit everyone needs to read this:

After the explanation on Dwight’s Blog its clear the refs like Detroit better. So many empty seats, so many empty houses, worse unemployment. I think the Pistons is the only thing Detroit has. Meh

MTV paid Kanye to make awards show interesting

Posted by Dave in September 14th 2009  

Yes, exactly as the title says. MTV knows how bad their awards shows are tanking in the ratings department. They KNOW Kanye didn’t win any awards so they could “kick him out” after the incident. It was all a well orchestrated plan by MTV only they didn’t let Taylor know so they could get the real reaction. How can MTV have a Video Music Award when they don’t even play videos, yet they wonder why their show loses ratings every year. I also think Kanye’s “He’s new to fame” excuse card has run out as well, he so eats fish sticks.

5 Things at&t Could Do To Suck Less

Posted by Dave in July 21st 2009  

5. Free text messaging if you have a data plan – We all know text messages are essentially free to you, we’re paying for data. This is data.
4. $30 Shared Data Plan – There are many couples with iPhones and charging them both $30 for data is just excessive. This would include unlimited text messages (See #5)
3. $20 Data Plan - This worked with the Original iPhone there was really no need to change this. Also with unlimited text (See #5)
2. Get MMS and Tethering working already, jeez this just makes you look silly. $5/mo to Tether $10/mo Shared
1. Let everyone who currently has an iPhone upgrade to the 3GS if they desire at the subsidized price. You can lock these people into another 2 year contract I don’t see why you wouldn’t take the oppertunity to do this. Especially with all the bad press and the fact that every doesn’t want Apple to renew their agreement with you. This just makes sense.

You need to give us so much for our money that we overlook your glaring short comings.

Dear Apple, 4 words Social App Store Approval

Posted by Dave in April 24th 2009  

Apple App Store Icon


I don’t blog very often mostly because I’m just constantly reading new and I never feel the need to share news because I feel everyone has access to the same things I do they should be able to read it themselves. There are times when I see something that’s so flawed that I want to talk/share my ideas about it. That thing is the Apple App Store Approval Process.

We all know, or should know, what the Apple App store is so I won’t get into explaining that. With the recent HUGE #AppleFail its approval process has been brought back into the spotlight. There is a strange disconnect between what Apple says it will approve and what they actually wind up approving. Apple needs to revamp this process and revamp it quickly.

My idea is this. Apple has the biggest group of the hardest core fans. Why don’t they make the first step of app approval a social experience. Bring in digg/reddit style voting, apps that move up the list the fastest or seem the coolest get a final review, also by volunteers, and get pushed into the store. You can tweak this idea as well. Instead of the voting method you could just get volunteers (I am sure you’d have no problem doing this) who would sign NDA’s and they would review and approve apps possibly pushing some to a peer group for a final review before getting pushed to the store. Since no one really knows what’s involved in the current process I am not even sure if this is any different that what takes place today. I just know this. The process needs to change and change quickly.

Quick AIG “Bonus” Summary

Posted by Dave in March 26th 2009  

Thanks to aGorilla at reddit:

About the current CEO:

* He’s being paid 1 dollar a year.
* He gets no bonuses, either way.
* He gets no stocks.
* He didn’t sign these contracts, he inherited them.

About the people who tanked AIG:

* They are gone.
* They were few.

About the people who received the bonuses:

* They did not kill AIG
* They were offered these bonuses last year, to stay for another year, and clean up the mess.
* They reduced $2.7 trillion of shit to $1.6 trillion of shit.

About the bonuses:

* They are less than .1% of the bailout money.
* They were offered last year, to retain people until they cleaned up the mess.
* They were NOT meant to retain people for next year.

What if we didn’t pay them?

* The people who are (successfully) cleaning up the mess, would leave.
* Then, they would sue (rightfully so).
* AIG would have to try to replace them, while trying to prevent losses on the suddenly ‘unmanaged’ accounts.
* AIG might be forced into bankruptcy, for defaulting (aka: we lose).
* AIG might survive, but take further losses, and need more help (aka: we lose).

Personal thoughts:

* We should have let them fail, but we didn’t, it would be idiotic to let them fail now.
* The current CEO deserves nothing but respect, but instead, he gets death threats.
* The people who stayed on, and cleaned up the mess, deserve to be well paid. They saved us a ton of money, and the bonuses are marginal in comparison.

Analogy:

The people from FP (financial products) are the burger flippers at McDonalds. The people who got the bonuses work the counter at McDonalds. The burger flippers made some seriously shitty burgers. They got fired. The counter crew has spent the last year trying to find places to safely unload those burgers (worm farms, bacteria labs, etc.) It was a dirty job, and Mike Rowe wasn’t available.

Yes, I’m contradicting a post I made yesterday. I watched the full hearings on C-Span today, and learned a hell of a lot from them. Yeah, I changed my mind, but that’s what I do when I learn that the facts don’t match my perception.

This makes a lot of sense and well why I think the amount of pay is a lot its a very small part of the monies they’ve received.

Uhm

Posted by Dave in February 11th 2009  

Etan said I needed to have more here since he linked to me from his blog. So here is something. YAY! Follow me on twitter if you’d like bigdave914. I might make this into more of an Orlando Local’s blog since I have a lot to complain about. Like why does OUC raise rates yet there are always way to many lights on in their new building even at 1:30 am so I know its not cleaning crews. Yah.. WOO!
