Here is a new one. I have a client who just purchased a software package. For reasons that shall be soon made clear, I cannot mention any names. The client wants to load some data from another source into the new software. In looking through the help file and typical menu locations, I couldn’t find a logical way to do this. So, I called Tech...
Read MoreNetwork Scanners and Exchange 2007
There are some nice additions to Exchange 2007, and one of the items is the ability to have it easily accept emails from in-network machines (like MFPs, Copier/Scanners) so you can scan to email without having to set up a separate user.

I have found that clients (and I am talking about individuals here, not businesses) fall into two basic...

So I got the SBS 2008 printer issue resolved (see here for some background). To sum up, while I was able to get the HP printer drivers in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors, I could not get the Konica-Minolta 2300DL color printer to play nicely. The fix?
