We have HP Lasejet 4050n in our network, I re-installed the printer driver using its original which I guess a 10 year old driver, so no need for each workstation to connect to a Printer Server before printing. The goal is to print directly to HP Lasejet 4050 from the network.

After installing the driver to each computer, I found out that one of the PC couldn't print multiple page using Adobe Reader v9 (latest version at that time), but it can print using Adobe Acrobat 7, MS-Word & MS-Excel. I thought it is only because of the old driver. But I found out that changing the driver from PCL to PS solve the issue.

Some hardware requires FTP, TFTP to upgrade the firmware like the Netcomm VoIP Gateway V431, V440, etc. When I was updating the firmware of my V440, I had no issue. But when I had to update my V431, the update doesn't want to move from 0% even though I checked that there is no firewall issue withmy PC and my router. So its best to make your PC as teh TFTP server, but of course you need the necessary firmware from the real FTP site and download it in your PC. We will be using C:\TFTP-Root as the location of our firmware files. Let's get started.

You were login as a limited user and everytime you click Run LiveUpdate in Norton Internet Security 2009, it keeps saying that you need admin rights to run the update. But you don't want to give the user an admin rights.

The workaround is to

  • open Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\
  • you will see InstalledApps & IntelligentUpdater from the left hand side
  • right-click in each folder and select Permissions... then add the username of the one with limited account
  • close Registry Editor
  • login as the user with limited account, then try to click Run LiveUpdate and you should be able to update your Norton Internet Security.

  • That should be it.
