Recently I had to do some hands on support I hadn’t done for a while, I had to add printer drivers to a print server. The challenge though (there’s always one) the clients were 64 bit Windows 7 and the server was 32 bit Windows 2003, so only had printer drivers for XP and other 32 bit clients.
“Client” Windows 2008 R2 x64 Standard edition
Start -> Administrative Tools – Print Management
Add the 32 bit print server
Must ensure the Driver Names are the same
As I’ve blogged previously I recently purchased a new Dell Laptop for work. I’m not a big fan of the trackpad on any laptop so the first thing I threw into the laptop bag was a wireless mouse I had lying around. After a day of using it however I wasn’t happy with it as a solution. There were several times I nearly snapped of the little dongle thingy, plus the inconvenience of losing a USB port when you only have two made me think there must be another solution.
My old laptop was getting a bit long in the tooth and taking longer and longer so I decided it was time to purchase a shiny new one.
After some deliberation and the chance to look at and play with one I decided on the Dell XPS 13. Initial impressions are very good, feels solid, nice screen, good size, lightweight. Everything you’d be looking for in a laptop these days.
