maybe corrupt print driver?

Posted By: Vann Joe on 2006-07-05
In Reply to: Squished faxes...my problem or theirs?? - Tjurs

Hi,


If you are starting the fax process by printing to a fax printer, then chances are good the print driver has gotten corrupted. (Common with all print drivers.)


If this is the case, then (1) delete the fax-print driver from Control Panel | Printers and Faxes, and then (2) reinstall the print driver.


After install, send a test fax (not a real transcription) to see if the problem has been fixed.

You can print a list in the print dialog box. sm
You'll find the option in the print what section. You can probably find a macro that lists them all in a document with a web search. Otherwise, you can only print them.
My IT Pro V (Instant Text) has become corrupt and I can't fix it....sm...
Anyone know what shortcut programs will allow you to transfer Instant Glossaries?  I'm thinking about just throwing in the towel and changing to a new shortcut program like Smartype, Shorthand, Speedtype, or any others.
May not be a corrupt macro/.dot file
It may be that your document template has been corrupted, but it may be a problem with the macro itself. A lot depends on what's in the macro / has anything changed that it depends on?

If you want, contact me, I will take a look at your code if you can't resolve.
MQ is simply the most corrupt MT company on the planet.

Watch and see MQ implode.  From one who knows from the inside looking out. 


For those who declare their love and loyalty to MQ, it's not reciprocated and the plans in the works by the MQ constantly changing management will soon let you see just how little they care about American MTs.  It's really kind of sad and the only hope for MQMTs is MQ being bought out.  Why do you think they keep changing management?

and you felt was okay to send you daughter to go to so she could drink at the age of 18. NO ONE WITH COMMON SENSE WOULD OFFEND THOSE SHE WAS EXPECTING HELP FROM. Mrs. Twitty has clean lost her mind if there ever was one there in the first place - considering she sent her daughter to Aruba at the age of 18.
Zip Driver

You may try downloading new drivers for your zip drive. Sometimes when the driver goes bad it will generate that error.


Also you can do a search on the specific error you are getting.


Here is a copy of links I found. Hope they help.

A 16-YO driver

I just want opinions here...


My DD's best friend is 16...she got her license in July.  The BF has a 17-month-old brother that her mom allows her to drive around...I don't mean just around where we live, I mean on the highway...a very busy, main, 4 lane highway...


My question is, do y'all agree or disagree with this?  Do you think it's really, really dangerous and just too much of a risk to let this girl drive her baby brother around?


It's probably pretty apparent that I think it is absolutely crazy! It scares me so much when I know they are out running around in her car.  Is it just me or do y'all feel this way?


My dog has a driver's license. sm
He loves to chase cars, but the high gas prices have forced him to get a job so he can continue.
got cut off....2 different driver's licenses...
Really, I don't want to *judge* anyone's life - judge not lest ye be judged.....and all that....plus it's a rarity to find a *jury of one's peers* in this life (my opinion only)
Do you know where to find the driver for it? nm
x
Might be a driver problem, too. nm
nm
You think being bus driver is easy? You never
x
They DON'T need you driver's license number.
Do not give anyone that number ever. Be smart with your private information. Never put your driver's license or SS# somewhere just because they have a line for it and that includes the doctor's office.
I am a sub bus driver and make $15 an hour - sm
doing that, though I never know when I am working, waiting on a route....when that happens I will bring home about $1200 a month which will be nice on top of any MT work I do (still plan to do this but cut back some when I do finally get a route). So for now $60 for working 4 hours subbing for another driver, I can live with. Makes my life a little easier.
MT vs Bus driver? Give me a break

For heaven's sakes.  Did it ever occur to you that if you can't decide, however rhetorically, whether to be an MT or drive a bus that you don't belong in this profession? 


I'm SO TIRED OF LISTENING TO MTs complain.  If you don't have a passion for what you do, here's a tip:  DO SOMETHING ELSE! 


You don't develop a passion for something just because it pays enough!  There are a lot of facets to passion.  And if you're doing something you don't have a passion for you're wasting your life.


Why is the fact that you're not making enough money or you're underappreciated SOMEBODY ELSE'S FAULT!  It's YOUR fault. 


Dimwit post regarding drunk driver
If nothing else, that should tell you what effects bad decisions have. If you read my post you would have gotten that I suffered but more importantly, my children did. Belive me, I'm not bitter. I am sorry that my children had to live without a father, but I am grateful that they learned about alcohol and loss of control. As for me, I supported my children very well, and we survived as a family and no one had to hang their head. I'm extremely grafteful that no innocent person was killed. And yes, I thought I could change an alcoholic. Bad choice. I'm willing to accept my bad choices, what's YOUR excuse for bad manners and you are also a DIMWit who probably "teaches" her children the right way to drink. What an assine post you put on the board. Anyone who has had a loved one killed by someone else's bad choice probably wouldn't appreciate your post, but I do. I appreciate the fact that you need help.
I'd think it would be long-haul truck driver or
long haul truck driver, depending on account specs and whether or not they use hyphens.
My boyfriend who is a school bus driver now makes more than me...
by $1.00 an hour. Only because they have a union, I guess, because the trend now would be to make them slave labor, as well....but their union holds on by a thread...

I have been an MT for over 14 years, started in the hospitals making what I make now, and am now working for a company (top of the line in the business) who says to stay competitive the MT pay has been cut. I was told to work more hours to make up the difference.

This is no longer a profession, and I think if we are suddenly required to be certified (which the AAMT is pushing very hard), I would highly contest this as I no longer consider myself a professional. We get paid only per line, lose our health benefits, if we do not work a required amount of hours, and are treated as laborers, not professionals.

Does anyone know, if any other 'professions' require certification for nonhourly positions, no guaranteed work, and no real long-term job security...

For myself, I can barely pay my rent now, there is no way I could afford a certification.

In other words, I would be expected to act as a professional, but would never ever be treated as one. I mean, what would WE get out of it?

Does anyone care anymore about people. When I first started working at 14, every job I ever had employees were always treated like they mattered...and were the heart of the job, the old 'we are nothing without the employees' - that is all thrown out like trash now and the mantra is we are nothing, we do not matter, we can be replaced, shut up and just do your work, your paycheck is your reward. What a bunch of crap and what a way to keep people down.

I was in shock when I saw my paycheck, and my boyfriend is making a whole dollar more an hour than I am...and that was a good, full 2 weeks of work for me, with the most lines I have typed since being with this company.

Can you imagine...
Another thing you might try, is reinstalling the driver for your USB port. SM
If you right click on your "My Computer" icon, click "Properties", then click on the "Hardware" tab.  Then click on the "Device Manager" button.  You'll see a list of all your hardware devices.  Find your USB devices and double click.  You'll see the button for reinstalling the driver.  Go from there and follow the steps.
Well it said there are no drivers or anything else and I have no idea about loading a driver.
It works fine in DQS so I dont know about this.  I guess I will just forget the job because it is a very long test and to do it with key controls is horrible.
Did you load the correct driver for the printer from the CD?

A breast exam is mandatory for a driver's license??
I cannot imagine a state where it is mandatory for a young girl getting a driver's license to have a breast exam. That just sounds, as does the pressuring you state by the doctor for the cervical cancer shot, so farfetched to me that it is completely unbelievable. I read very well, thank you and am unbelieving of most of what you have posted. Sounds like not only are you stressed but you have some mania going on there.

No breast exam required in Tn and Ga for driver's or work

A breast exam is required for a driver's permit in your state?
--some pervert state senator would dream up. What state do you live in? THAT I would be angry about.
What state requires a breast exam for a driver's license?!?!

And do NOT print for them! this is why...sm

you need to just send the stuff back to their office. Again don't be driving around doing the delivery thing. Explain that HIPAA doesn't want you keeping the reports any longer than necessary to do billing, so after you bill, you need to delete the reports. They need to have them in their office, to archive and keep a back up copy in case the office floods and ruins their charts. When you send them back, they can change the little things that the doc dictated wrong themselves...they don't have to wait until you have your next delivery run. So let them mess with the dumb sticky paper...or better yet, do a cost analysis that shows it is just as good to stick it in the chart with tape than to buy that paper. That way, they will be impressed with your business acumen...


wow I need to print all of this
thanks so much - no I would never work if I was at DD boyfriend's on who knows what network.  I was just going to see if it worked.  If I am at house with cable internet it should be as secure as mine.  I don't think I would every try working at a Starbucks.  The place I vacation actually has high speed internet so I could connect directly to that.  Cell phone coverage is spotty there at best, so air card would probably be worthless.  Thanks again - I am beginning to understand what I was afraid I would never grasp.
I use ShortHand. I used to print out all of my
expansions and tape the pages all over my desk, but it didn't help.  What did help was finding out from someone here that ShortHand has a suggestion box that displays your expansions for you.  I remember the first letter or two, glance down quickly to see what the ending was, hit the corresponding function key, and bam! three keystrokes to faster transcribing.  Instant Text has a similar feature, but I couldn't switch over to it after learning on Shorthand.
how did you get your print to be so small?


if you are for real, your best advice is read this board and take good notes.


 


To print list
You can print a list of all of the "autotext" by opening word, FILE, PRINT (or ALT F, P) and in bottom Lft corner in the "Print What" section select "Autotext entries" and OK. If you have a lot this will print a lot mine would do about 150 pages.

BE AWARE - This will print everything. You can print just a list of the AUTOCORRECT entries but you have to creat a macro which is not hard. This too however will print all of the autocorrects, like when it automatically changes "adn" to "and". But, if you have to have this list you can just run through and delete the normal corrections and keep a list of your entries.

If you want to email me I will be more than happy to send you the instructions and the macro. It was simple to do, just a matter of making sure the macro info was in the right spot.
Save and print
I print and deliver, save on hard drive for one year and then on CD or zip forever it seems.  Finally went through and threw out files from 10 years ago. 
Have a Dell 720 and the print is so
small, can hardly read. I have the zoom up to 500 on a particular page- the print on the computer huge but when it prints, back down to really small, anyone know what I can do to get regular print? TIA
HELP! HP Deskjet won't print
This has happened to me before but I do not remember what I did to fix it.  Whatever I send to print will just sit there and forever say its printing but doesn't.  The scanner and copier works on the *&# thing.  I have tried rebooting, unpluging, etc.  Nothing. HELP
If you have the capability print out

a few reports and if you can go back and listen to the dictation while following along in the report.


I started a job several years ago, having had very minimal ESL experience.  The very first day they gave me ALL ESL dictators, some very challenging.  I was in tears and ready to quit after the first day.  The MTSO told me that I really did very well and I printed out corrected reports.  After relistening I could clearly understand the dictation when following along with my sample.   I couldn't believe that I couldn't hear parts of it the first time.


Doctors slur, they eat while dictating, yawn, they misspell words.  As you gain experience you will know what the doctor should be saying, which should help you decipher the dictation.   Leaving a blank isn't a bad thing, and it is better than guessing.  If you learn from your mistakes that is good.  If you continue the make the same mistakes, leave the same blanks, etc. then that isn't a good thing.


Do the bet you can.  If you need help ask for it.  It sounds like you need to talk to your supervisor and/or QA to get some feedback


 


Correct. You would not have to print it out
before faxing. You would just fax the document.
Check your USB drivers. The printer works off the printer driver. The pedal needs a joystick

driver in order to work.  You have to configure your USB port for this.


No, I doubt that a breast exam is included in the physical exam for a driver's licence..sm
Since when did they start to ask for a physical exanm to obtain a driver's licence?
This must be new, I never was subjected to a physical exam, only an eye exam.
That's weird.
There is a Print Screen Button..
at the top line of your keyboard. Press it and then go to your Windows paint and > Edit > Paste it there.


Capture/Print Screen
Another option is to hold down the "ALT" key and then press the "PRT SCR" key, then open a document (Word or whatever) and Click "Paste"... this will insert a picture of the screen into your document, which you can then save for future reference. Hope this helps. /bah
Sometimes you can pull them up in the expander but not print from there.

how do I print my shorthand entries

Anyone know how to print up all the entries in the dictionary?


TIA!


Sunny


Thank you MT stars for the beautiful print. I am going to have it

framed and hang it in my living room.  I think you are doing a great thing with the Santa's House project, too. 


How to print up Quickcorrect/words

In word perfect?  I cant figure out how to print up my lists in QuickCorrect or QuickWords.


Please share, if anyone knows.


TIA!


What a sweetie you've got. Going to print out your
message & leave it laying somewhere so my hubby will see it :o) I'm 5' and with my chair all the way down, I have to sit on the front edge of the chair so I can reach my foot pedal. Killing my back & circulation !!
Was tickled to read the other replies. Really was beginning to wonder if I was about the only female left that was of short stature.
Just out of curiosity - where do you find clothes that fit?? I'm not only short, but small-boned, & finding it impossible to find clothes anymore that are "age-appropriate":o)
Yes there is a way to print your auto correct
There is a free download for a macro program that backs up your auto correct file. You can print it..save it..and restore your autocorrect file with it. I love it. I have 3 computers and I use this to keep all of them up to date with my auto correct entries.

I dont think I can post a link here on this board. If you email me at Loveyaheart@aol.com I will be glad to give you the link for the download.
I email it back, they print. -

So far they are running it off who knows in the future but to me it looks so weird having it go out on six pages of letterhead. 


 


The thing is though my fine print with ATT said it could not be used for
autodialing, dialing into the internet, commercial faxing, and one other thing. I can't remember what the other thing was but it wasn't anything I was using it for. They even listed those four things over and over, and I told them I didn't use it for any of those things. They also tried to tell me I was transmitting data over my phone line. I wasn't. I was dialing into a voice line. I got tired of arguing with them too. How can argue w/them when they keep saying you're dialing into the internet when you know you're not? I guess they have to lie about something, right, because they can't tell you you're using too many minutes if it's UNLIMITED. I just think it stinks. Hopefully it will work out for all of us!
I got a print out with color photos of my
colonoscopy integrated into the dictation.  It's already here in the US
How do you print your expander list?

How do you print your whole ShortHand expansions? I knew once how to do it but cannot remember it. I was playing around with it earlier and actually lost one of my dictionaries for my current new account! I have a couple of other old accounts with useful expansions, but why did I have to lose this one! I was really cruising with my lines. How the heck does that even happen? I'm so upset about that but had to start over with putting everything back in it. I know I need to save it to backup, but still...


Thanks for your help!


Re office staff to print
No, the office staff are not allowed access to the 2 PCs and they still work with a handwritten appointment book as well as only fax facilities and no internet at work... this is the reason I have to cut & paste WP doc into Word and e-mail to doc's home e-mail so wife can e-mail the report. This is really a mess I have myself in... and Im starting to throw tantrums now! I corrected him yesterday morning on a mistake he corrected me and now its spite on his side to pay me back because how dare I take a printout from physician website with the correct spelling and show him his mistake - my reports gets marked like a school teacher grading it big circles with messages "I spelt this for you a few months ago, you should know it by now!!!" etc
