Picking a new printer?

I am looking for a new printer that can broadcast a wireless signal so it doesn't have to be hardwired to a computer to print. All i want to have to do is search for it on my wireless card or bluetooth (i have bluetooth), click on it and have it print. Can someone please give me some link and price ranges that i will be looking at? I would also like it to be able to print on printable CD's. Thanks a bunch

Picking a new printer?
I got the printer for you!





Its HP Photosmart D5160 Printer.





Specfications:





Black print speed - Up to 31 ppm.


Color print speed - Up to 24 ppm.


Direct photo printing - memory cards, PictBridge cameras.


Memory Card - CompactFlash, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Secure Digital/MultiMediaCard, xD-Picture Card


Supported Papers - Letter, legal, executive, cards, No. 10 envelopes, photo (4 x 6 in, 5 x 7 in, 8 x 10 in), panoramic (4 x 12 in, 4 x 24 in), CD/DVD.


Wireless Capability - Optional, with HP bt450 Bluetooth Wireless Printer and PC Adapter.


Connectivity - 1 USB, 1 PictBridge, 4 memory card slots.


Cost : Just $74.99 only!





So.. it can print from memory card and computer. It can print on CD/DVD. U can also use Bluetooth adapter.





Gotta? Where is my reward?


Which video card is best for my computer?

I have a HP Media Center Desktop, to make it easier i have this link where you can see the specifications of my computer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum...





Details you need to know to answer my question:


•I have Win Vista Ultimate intalled instead of the original "Windows XP Media Center".


•My monitor is an Acer AL2216Wbd 22" LCD with a recommended resolution of 1680x1050.





The reason i wan a new video card is because when i play games like "Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Stronghold legends, fifa 08, Prince of Persia, i have problems with the graphics and sometime it is very slow and the graphics don't keep up, that's why i think i need a better video card than the one my computer came with. when i use the Media Center in Windows Vista Ultimate it's very slow. Is the size of my monitor the reason why everything is slow now or is Vista the problem? New Vid Card or go back to XP

Which video card is best for my computer?
Not knowing the "minimum requirements" for the games you mentioned, here are my two thoughts.





1G of RAM with Vista is not a great situation at all. I'd recommend that you get at least 1G more for a minimum of 2G of RAM. RAM is pretty cheap right now so you could even pick up an additional 2G for about $100 or less.





Video: you currently have 128M video card. With Vista and your games, it pretty much overloaded. Do some shopping online and you should be able to find a video card with 512M of RAM for under $100.





Those two upgrades would do wonders for you.





Vista vs XP: I own a copy of Vista Home Premium. I tried it. Didn't like it. I went back to XP after a month of trying it.





Vista is mostly eye candy and basically doesn't do much more than XP does. It is also VERY processor intensive. So your PentiumD 2.8GHz is going to work pretty hard trying to run Vista and an intense game at the same time.





Those are my thoughts. Hope this helps.
Reply:Your computer is rather old for running Vista. I really think you should go back to XP, because your memory and cpu will hold you back.





The good thing is that you can just add another 1gb of memory to speed things up. Your grafix card can take pci-e which is good also.





Your system doesn't tell me how much power you have. As such, I would suggest getting an older 7900GS or 1950pro. Those are very fast cards and will have no problem with the games you listed.
Reply:It dossent stand what kind of PCI E slot you have. If you have x16, you can take all "x16 Pci e". If you dont have any PCI E x16 ( x4 or x1 ) then you just can take almost bad cards.





Best card: 8800GTX SLI


Can't get a Canon MP760 All-in-One Printer to run from a USB 2.0 port?

It seems that they are meant to:





"Whether you work with film or with a digital camera, the $300 Canon Pixma MP760 is a great multifunction unit for printing photos. It's one of only two MFPs we've tested so far that include a film holder and a light in the lid for scanning slides and negatives (the other is the Epson Stylus Photo RX620). The MP760's card slots can read most memory formats (other than XD Picture Cards), and images transfer swiftly to a PC through the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port. Alternatively, you can connect a PictBridge-compatible camera to the MP760's direct-print port." - from http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article...


and yet mine won't!? I plug it into the usb port onboard and it says "Do you realise that this device can run much faster from a usb 2.0 port?" so I swap it across to the usb 2.0 hub and it's "device not recognisable"


Any hints anyone?


Cheers

Can't get a Canon MP760 All-in-One Printer to run from a USB 2.0 port?
The printer will work with USB1.1. Ignore the 'device can run much faster from a usb 2.0..... ' message.





However, do not use the USB hub, connect it directly to the USB port on the pc.
Reply:Sorry. It was Canon's support page for the MP760. Just a confirmation that it works with USB 1.1 as well.


Could only accessed the site intermittently.

Reply:If you have Vista then the USB 2 stuff below won't apply, but it may mean your motherboard doesn't support USB 2.0. (Assuming this is not a computer that came with Vista.)





If the hub is connected to another onboard port (rather then a USB 2.0 addon card) then it sounds like one of your potential problems is that you either don't have USB 2.0 support, or don't have it enabled. USB 2.0 requires XP SP1 or better, and hardware that supports USB 2.0. (Plugging a 2.0 hub into a 1.1 port won't give you 2.0 support.)





If your motherboard does have USB 2.0 support, and the computer has/originally had regular Windows XP, (not SP1 or SP2) then maybe the USB 2.0 driver never got installed. Check device manager for an unknown device or for an Enhanced USB controller.





And as mentioned, the drivers for the printer should be installed before you plug the printer in, otherwise it might cause issues installing the driver later. (If all else fails, if you see any yellow question mark devices in device manager, you can try removing them and rebooting to let Windows try and reinstall their drivers.)
Reply:Did you install the printer drivers yet?? If you have Windows Vista, it already has the drivers, you just have to go to the printers folder and manually add the printer. If you have an older OS, it may not have the drivers, so you can download them from here:

This email looks like a fake lottery scam. Consider the following facts about real lotteries:





They do not notify winners by email.


You can not win without first buying a lottery ticket.


They do not randomly select email addresses to award prizes to.


They do not use free email accounts (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) to communicate with you.


They do not tell you to call a mobile phone number.


They do not tell you to keep your winnings secret.


They will never ask a winner to pay any fees to receive a prize!


The following phrases should put you on alert:


"fiduciary agent" (real lotteries do not use a "claim agent" / "fiduciary agent")


"fudiciary" (real lotteries do not use a "claim agent" / "fiduciary agent")


"barrister" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)


"amsterdam holland" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)


"cheque " (Beware of any scheme that involves cashing checks or money orders and then wiring a portion of the funds somewhere - you'll be liable for the entire amount if the checks or money orders turn out to be fake, even after you have received and forwarded cash)


Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.


This email lists free webmail addresses. Besides personal use for legitimate purposes, use of such addresses is also typical for scams. NOTE: Lotteries, banks, government agencies and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

I need help planning a budget.?

I am 20 years old--my boyfriend and I live in New York and we both work, but we don't make that much money. I work at a hair salon making a set pay a week plus tips, he works and gets paid by the hour. Our income is always changing.





I would really like to work out a budget that tracks how much money we get and how much we spend, in hopes that we can save up and move into another apartment.





Money would have to be saved as we both have really bad credit from when we first started living on our own, this is my fault not his, :) I am younger and totally ruined my credit cards.





Does anyone know good free programs to do this? Printable worksheets?





I've found some online, but not as many as I thought I would.





Thank you. :)
