New Windows7 Printer Driver Problems!

I thought this may be helpful for others. I am sure this idea would work for any brand of printer. Thought I would share the info from the Lexmark Tech. It did work on my main pc but I am having problems getting the other pc's in the house to be able to print thru the router/network.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for contacting us regarding this matter. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you, and I hope my suggestions will provide a resolution.

I understand that you need a Windows 7 driver for your X5470 printer. Let me try to assist you with this issue.

There is no Windows 7 driver for a X5470 printer. As a work around, you may use the Windows Vista printer driver but there is no guarantee that it will work.

If the printer was working properly on the Windows Vista operating system, disconnect the USB cable on the printer, uninstall the Windows Vista printer driver, restart the computer, then reinstall the Windows Vista printer driver. Please make sure to ONLY reconnect the USB cable when you are already asked during the driver re installation.

Let me invite you to please visit our website, www.lexmark.com, for information about our 2009 Line of Products. The latest printer models that Lexmark is offering may have a maximum of 5 years warranty, provided, a customer registers the printer online within 90 days from the invoice date.

What Love means to a 4-8 year old-Absolutely priceless!

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth
it. Touching words from the mouth of babes.

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined See what you think:






'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend
over and paint her toenails anymore.

So my grandfather does it for her all the time,
even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'

Rebecca- age 8



'When someone loves you,
the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'

Billy- age 4





'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on
shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other..'

Karl - age 5





'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody
most of your French fries without making them give
you any of theirs.'

Chrissy - age 6






'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'

Terri - age 4





'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy
and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure
the taste is OK.'

Danny - age 7





'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get
tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.

My Mommy and Daddy are like that.
They look gross when they kiss'

Emily - age 8





'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if
you stop opening presents and listen.'

Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)





'If you want to learn to love better, you should
start with a friend who you hate,'

Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)






'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt,
then he wears it everyday.'

Noelle - age 7





'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man
who are still friends even after they know each
other so well.'

Tommy - age 6





'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was
scared. I looked at all the people watching me
and saw my daddy waving and smiling.

He was the only one doing that.
I wasn't scared anymore..'

Cindy - age 8





'My mommy loves me more than anybody
You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep
at night.'

Clare - age 6





'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.'

Elaine-age 5






'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and
still says he is handsomer than
Robert Redford.'

Chris - age 7





'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after
you left him alone all day.'

Mary Ann - age 4





'I know my older sister loves me because she gives
me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy
new ones.'

Lauren - age 4





'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down
and little stars come out of you.'
(what an image)

Karen - age 7




'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and
she doesn't think it's gross.'

Mark - age 6





'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you
mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a
lot. People forget.'

Jessica - age 8





And
the final one


The winner was a four year old child whose next door
neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had
recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the
old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap,
and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the
neighbor, the little boy said,

'Nothing, I just helped him cry'

Outsmart This Memory Robber

Provided by Prevention

Stress hormone can interfere with total recall

Ever flubbed a job interview, suffered a memory lapse during a presentation, or forgotten the boss's husband's name at the company picnic? Stress hormones may chemically block the ability to recall some information--just when you need it most.

Researchers asked 36 people to memorize a list of 60 nouns, then tested how much they could recall that same day and again 24 hours later. To simulate the effects of the stress hormone cortisol, participants received a cortisone pill or a placebo at one of three times: before seeing the list, immediately after seeing it, or 1 hour before they were to recall it. (Cortisone is used by the body in the production of cortisol.)

Those given the cortisone 1 hour before they had to recall the list had the faultiest memories (Nature Neuroscience, Apr 2000).

If you're faced with a stressful event that requires you to call on your memory, stop cortisol confusion with these strategies:

Practice, practice, practice. If you can't rely on notes, "try rehearsing the information extensively," says study author James McGaugh, PhD, director of the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory and professor of neurobiology and behavior at the University of California, Irvine. "The better the preparation, the stronger the memory," he says.

Sip a cup of tea or java. Animal studies suggest that moderate amounts of caffeine may enhance long-term memory when taken shortly after learning.

Review at the last minute. In the study, memories weren't affected by cortisone on same-day tests. It's likely that the "freshness" of the memory overcame the stress.

Take a deep breath--or two. Try to relax. A short stroll, a friendly conversation, or deep breathing before the big event could help keep stress hormones in check, Dr. McGaugh advises.

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, some still struggle with finding where their next meal will come from.

COLUMBUS, Ohio—As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, some still struggle with finding where their next meal will come from.

Local food pantries said their numbers served have increased since June, and many of the families or individuals are new clients.

Volunteers of America teamed with many local groups Monday to bring in more than 200 turkeys, pies, and bread in preparation for the more than 2,500 meals to be served in Columbus for Thanksgiving.

Local pantries still need donations. In Clintonville, the Beechwold Community Resource Center is trying to collect turkeys to hand out to local families.

Millions Of Taxpayers Owe After IRS Mistake

NBC 4

More than 15 million taxpayers may owe $250 or more because of how the IRS set up a tax break that was designed to help consumers spend the U.S. economy out of recession.

» 15 Comments | Post a Comment

WASHINGTON—A tax break designed to put more money in your pocket could end up costing you.

President Barack Obama’s Making Work Pay tax break was part of the stimulus package enacted back in February. The tax break was designed to help consumers spend the U.S. economy out of recession.

NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS on what you need to know.

The tax break increased paychecks for 95 percent of working families, but an IRS mistake means more than 15 million taxpayers could owe the government $250 or more.

Experts said the IRS made mistakes in the new tax withholding tables.

The U.S. Treasury Department said the affected groups include:
- Individuals with more than one job.
- Married couples in which both spouses work.
- Employees claimed as dependents on their parents’ tax return.
- Social Security recipients who also earn taxable wages.

Expect either a smaller refund check or to owe the government, Floyd Business Consulting CPA Jeff Ballmer said.

“The best thing to do would be go to the IRS and check out their tax withholding calculator and figure out where you sit,“ Ballmer said.

The tax credit is good through 2010.

Ballmer says be prepared for next year by increasing your tax withholding on your W-4 form.

“Claim less exemptions. If you typically claim two, lower it down to one or zero. Or, you could also make quarterly estimate tax payments where you just write a check to the government to cover any tax you might owe,“ Ballmer said.

If you’re really worried about your withholding for this year, Ballmer said there’s still enough time to adjust for your December paychecks.
