Mid May trip report: 2 weeks in Tokyo, Kyoto, Takamatsu, art islands, Beppu, Fukuoka
2024.06.09 17:06 Oxiclean4me Mid May trip report: 2 weeks in Tokyo, Kyoto, Takamatsu, art islands, Beppu, Fukuoka
Hey all, This subreddit was an indispensable resource in my planning my trip, so I wanted to return the favor with highlights from my trip and general experiences/tips. I spent 14 days (+ 3 travel days from/to the states), with 3 friends that joined me for different parts of the trip. Here's my itinerary with highlights/comments:
Number of nights per city: Tokyo(3), Kyoto(3), Takamatsu(3), Beppu(2), Fukuoka(4)
Day 1 - Tokyo (9.24 miles walked)
Oh man, this island is jam packed with amazing art. We ran out of time to see everything, but with the aid of e-bikes we managed to check out the Art house project, Chichu art museum, Benesse museum. People who really want to see everything may want to budget 1.5-2 days for this island. This was also one of my favorite days of the trip. Really unique art work in a beautiful setting.
Day 8 - Day trip to Teshima island (12.07 miles).
If you are going on a Monday, beware: most of the museums on Naoshima are closed so everyone is hitting up Teshima.... our ferry got sold out while we were waiting in line, forcing us to take an alternative route by detouring to a different island first. By the time we got to Teshima, most of the e-bike rental stores were out of stock. Despite those hang-ups, we were able to see the Teshima art museum, Teshima Yoko House, and ride around part of the island. We were worried about the return ferry getting sold out so we staked out the office for like a solid hour before the ticket counter opened. Although we didn't have a full day, we felt pretty content with what we saw/what the island had to offer.
Day 9 - Takamatsu Beppu (5.91 miles*)
Day 10 - Day trip to the Kunisaki peninsula (6.96 miles)

Number of nights per city: Tokyo(3), Kyoto(3), Takamatsu(3), Beppu(2), Fukuoka(4)
Day 1 - Tokyo (9.24 miles walked)
- Stayed in Roppongi, which I really enjoyed- great location with fun side streets to wander down.
- Rainy day so I hit up museums nearby: Suntory art museum, which houses classic Japanese art/artifacts; and the Tokyo national art center, which was hosting this massive juried exposition of contemporary art. Made for a cool juxtaposition.
- Checked out some specialty stores in Shibuya.
- Harukor for lunch- a small hole in the wall restaurant serving indigenous cuisine with friendly owners.
- Afura for dinner- low-key ramen/dipping noodle spot.
- Walked around Meiji shrine and surrounding neighborhood
- Shinjuku to check out some specialty stores (Sekaido stationary store, etc).
- Walked around Shimokitazawa neighborhood- very cute, young neighborhood with vintage stores. I wasn't planning on doing any clothes shopping because I'm tall by Japanese-standards and clothes shopping isn't generally my idea of a fun time, but I stumbled across an amazing 70's vintage dress here that is probably my most treasured purchase from the trip.
- Had an amazing kaseiki dinner at Ise sueyoshi. 100% recommend. Was the most expensive meal of my life to date (to be fair, I'm not much of a foodie) but it was such a great experience. They are also unusually accommodating for dietary restrictions, so vegetarians/vegans/gluten intolerant folks take note!
- Stored our luggage at Tokyo station before a day of sightseeing.
- Walked around Imperial Palace grounds, then Kagurazaka neighborhood (this was ok, some nice little shops but I think maybe I was expecting a bit more?). My friends hit up a wood block studio that was located in a neighborhood east of Kagurazaka, they found some really great prints here. Sorry, don't have the name of the store.
- Walked through Ginza before hopping on the bullet train. There was an elevated highline-esque walkway over by the Miyazaki clock that was nice, but I otherwise wasn't super into Ginza. A lot of European designer stores, if that's your thing.
- Took a silly amount of time to find our stored luggage (air tags were helpful!) and then find the bullet train section of Tokyo station. I had read warnings to give yourself plenty of time to find the train platform after purchasing the shinkansen ticket, but the ticket machines for our line were immediately adjacent to the platforms so we ended up spending 40 minutes sitting on the floor of the station waiting for our train...seriously there are like no benches in that station!
- Rented an older home in a fantastic location- small quiet neighborhood just north east of Shosei-en garden.
- This was probably my favorite day of the entire trip. Got an early start at Murin-an garden, then headed over to Nanzen-ji, Saisho-in, Okunoin temples. Okunoin temple was a rec that I found on here, it's kinda hidden behind the Nanzen-ji complex. A hilly path leading up to a waterfall with altars(?) along the way. There was this man with some sort of instrument made from a turtle shell who was playing at each altar. It was hella enchanting. Walked north on the Philosopher's path, stopping at Honenin temple and Higashiyama jisho-ji. I was really worried about crowds but for a mid-week morning/early afternoon there really wasn't that many people around, except for Higashiyama.
- Again on a reddit rec, we wandered through the woods to find Mo-an, this somewhat hidden cafe with amazing desserts. The experience of forging through a forest unsure where we were going (took a wrong turn and stumbled into the Yoshida shrine) and finding this tree-house like oasis was incredible. The matcha chiffon cake was delicious.
- In the evening we checked out an antique shop in Gion and walked Pontocho Alley after dinner. Honestly, the alley was too crowded to enjoy.
- Got up early and hiked up Fushimi inari taisha. I think we made it back down by like 9:30 am which helped avoid crowds.
- Near our rental was Shosei-en garden and a lovely matcha soft-serve ice cream cafe (Walden woods- they also sold great candles).
- In the afternoon we headed north to do some shopping: the Kyoto Handicraft Center and some small antique stores between there and the Kyoto Gyoen national garden. We were pretty exhausted at that point so we didn't venture very far, just walked along the southern edge.
- Went to a curry restaurant that was veg-friendly: Koisus curry and tempura.
- Taking a rec that I read on here, we waited until later in the night (~8:30ish?) to check out Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka neighborhoods. Very few people around that late so that was a success.
- Hopped on the bullet train to Takamatsu with a stop to tour Himeji castle. It's one of the few original castles still standing and considered one of Japan's best so it seemed foolish not to check it out. While we were there the city was having a parade/festival so that was fun to watch.
- We picked Takamatsu as our home base for touring the art islands. The ferry ride is shortest here (compared to Okayama) and the port is walkable from downtown. Many of the restaurants here turned us away with out dinner reservations (hard to tell if that was the actual policy or if they didn't want to serve 4 Americans?) but we had a great time watching the chef at the grill of this small izakaya, Kuishinbo.
Oh man, this island is jam packed with amazing art. We ran out of time to see everything, but with the aid of e-bikes we managed to check out the Art house project, Chichu art museum, Benesse museum. People who really want to see everything may want to budget 1.5-2 days for this island. This was also one of my favorite days of the trip. Really unique art work in a beautiful setting.
Day 8 - Day trip to Teshima island (12.07 miles).
If you are going on a Monday, beware: most of the museums on Naoshima are closed so everyone is hitting up Teshima.... our ferry got sold out while we were waiting in line, forcing us to take an alternative route by detouring to a different island first. By the time we got to Teshima, most of the e-bike rental stores were out of stock. Despite those hang-ups, we were able to see the Teshima art museum, Teshima Yoko House, and ride around part of the island. We were worried about the return ferry getting sold out so we staked out the office for like a solid hour before the ticket counter opened. Although we didn't have a full day, we felt pretty content with what we saw/what the island had to offer.
Day 9 - Takamatsu Beppu (5.91 miles*)
- Before hopping on the train to Kyushu, we checked out Ritsurin garden. They have lockers for luggage and an impressive giftshop.
- In Beppu, we stayed in a ryokan that had private onsen rentals which was nice for the naked-squeamish. Had dinner at an izakaya (Robata Jin) that was another reddit rec. Pro-tip: when we showed up, the hostess told us they were full but when I pushed about later availability ("atode?") she conferred and was like, we can sit in 30 minutes. So don't be afraid to ask instead of accepting defeat, haha.
Day 10 - Day trip to the Kunisaki peninsula (6.96 miles)
- Rented a car to drive up to Kunisaki peninsula. Was a really unique experience driving through rural mountainous terrain, visiting ancient temples (Futagoji) and ruins (Kyu sento ji) and an amazing panoramic view from a cliffside temple (Itsutsuji Fudou). I had a couple other potential sites on my list, but we ran out of time/steam to check them out. Restaurants are a bit scarce up there so we packed snacks to tide us over.
- On the way back to Beppu we stopped and had a soak at an onsen in the middle of a bamboo grove (Yoyama no sato). There were like 6 or so different outdoor pools next to a waterfall/stream- such a cool experience.
- In the evening, took a walk along the beach front.
- Decided to hold onto the rental car and make the 2 hour drive across Kyushu to the last city of the trip, Fukuoka. Stopped in Hita to check out Onta pottery village- this community still produces their clay and fires their ceramics without electricity- was a cool experience watching that. There was maybe 10 studios all in close proximity of each other. I was really excited to get lunch at Ohara Chaya, but they were closed for the day, but there were plenty of other options in the area- we settled for a cute Italian pasta restaurant (Luciano?) run by a single guy. Also stopped at Ukiha inari shrine. We opted to drive to the top instead of doing the hike.
- Stayed in Tenjin neighborhood in Fukuoka- very vibrant nightlife/restaurant/shopping scene here. Very walkable and close to the subway. After dinner, walked around Ohori Park.
- Cute bakery for breakfast (BREAD) and then did a lot of shopping. There are so many multi-level shopping complexes in Tenjin that finding a specific store ended up being difficult because we couldn't tell if we were in the right building. Takumi Gallery had a great assortment of crafts/souvenirs, Yokka was a cute little gift store.
- Went to Fukuoka art museum in Ohori Park- the permanent collection (contemporary art) is on the small side but free and well curated. Stopped for gelato on the walk back (Raccolto)
- For dinner went to a homey neighborhood restaurant to try okonomiyaki (Mimi). More wandering around Tenjin in the evening.
- Took a cab to Aburayama Citizens Forest to do some bird watching in the early morning. Would recommend if you are into camping or hiking (or birding)- great vista viewpoints, many waterfalls, new facilities and a number of trail options ranging from easy/paved to steep/rugged. BUT, getting out here was kinda a pain in the ass. Despite being a 35 min drive from downtown Fukuoka, taxi drivers were generally confused as to where I wanted to go and the nearest bus stop is an hour walk from the center of the park. I still found it worth it despite the inconvenience.
- Back in Fukuoka by noon, had a nice curry lunch at Re cell kitchen.
- For dinner I ventured out to try the yatai food stall experience. Went to Remy's which is run by French expats. Was a fun experience and definitely recommend for solo travelers.
- In the early AM, took the train out to Hakata Bay Imazu tidal flats. Kinda a bust for the birds, but it was nice walking along the beach and there was a cute bakery nearby (right by Imajuku station).
- In the afternoon, I went out to Dazaifu. From the station to the shrine it was an absolute zoo (it was a Sunday I think), but the Kyushu national museum was much less busy and had cool exhibits on the history of Kyushu/Japan in a beautiful building. Also stumbled across a cute little Italian cafe (CoRicco) that was thankfully empty, although a little pricey (but still cheap compared to US restaurants).
- Back in Tenjin, I wandered around some shopping plazas and tried to hit up the yatai's again for dinner but it started pouring rain.
- Definitely could have used a third day in Kyoto. Some people may be bored with 4 full days in Fukuoka (there isn't as many daytime sights in the city proper) but I really enjoyed the city's vibe and it was nice to end the trip with a longer stay in one place. Overall was very happy with the mix of urban, rural, outdoorsy, cosmopolitan, and art experiences that this itinerary gave us.
- My packing strategy was to head over with a carry-on travel backpack (Peak Design 45L). I held off on making large purchases until I got to Kyushu, which was perfect- Fukuoka has great shopping options. I bought a cheap duffle bag from Don Quixote to stuff my clothes in and checked that for the flights back.
- I opted for a data sim card delivered to my first hotel and confirmed that my phone was unlocked/compatible....only to discover that my phone had an extra layer of lockedness and couldn't use the sim card (this seems to be a common issue according to others on google?). So that was an unexpected stressowaste of money. I ended up finding a portable wifi rental store in Shibuya that I could return at the Fukuoka airport so it wasn't a complete disaster. But still an unpleasant surprise after being awake for over 24 hours just arriving in a new country/city.
- I was really nervous about driving in Japan (opposite side of the road from where I live), but it ended up not being that bad. It helped having 3 other attentive passengers, being in a rural area, and I had recovered from jetlag by that point of the trip. Also, Japanese drivers are way less aggressive in than east coast Americans.
- I had grand plans to get through all 5 modules of Pimsleur's Japanese course, but I only made it through unit 1 and was glad I did it. Like 90-95% of the content was relevant for tourists and it gave me enough of a familiarity with pronunciation to fill in the gaps with phrases I found through google searches. I filled out a couple index cards with phrases I thought would be most helpful and they were really indispensible. Especially dining out vocab (asking for a table for 4, how to order from the menu, polite expressions, etc). I think the locals appreciated that I was trying and if they said something I didn't understand (which was frequently), I would say sumimasen, yoku wakarimasen (I'm sorry, I don't understand well) and they usually could supply the necessary english words to communicate their question, etc. So I'm glad I put in the effort. It took me maybe 30 hours to get through unit 1 of the course.
- As a pescatarian/vegetarian, it took a little bit of work and trial and error to find veg friendly restaurants/communicate my diet with staff. Some people didn't understand what I meant when I said I'm vegetarian (Watashiwah bejitarian dis), but everyone understood "I don't eat meat" (Ohnekuwah chotto). I found it helpful to state that and then pointedly ask, what can I eat? (my grammar is probably wrong, but I think I would say "nanio taberaremaska?"). I suggest this approach because at one restaurant I had stated that I was vegetarian, the waiter seemed to understand what I meant but then I went ahead and ordered items that seemed vegetarian and they ended up having meat in them. Wasn't a big deal for me, I didn't have a problem eating around it, but it may be a problem for more strict vegetarians. In terms of finding veg friendly restaurants, I did a lot of cross-referencing with Happy Cow. By no means comprehensive, but it was a helpful resource.
- Related, if you are capable of calling a restaurant to make dinner reservations, try to. A lot of restaurants don't seem to take walk-ins (especially teppanyaki restaurants) and a lot of restaurants didn't seem to have online reservation systems. Restaurants in Kyoto were fine with walk-ins but there were so many tourists you had to deal with long waits to get in. Don't wait until you're hungry to figure out dinner plans- you'll just end up really hangry.
- Despite heavily relying on the train for getting from city to city, we didn't bother with the JR pass. Didn't seem worth the price, especially since it doesn't cover Nozomi trains.
- I'm not seasonal allergy prone, but the pollen was brutal in Kyoto in May. We were all very puffy faced, but still able to enjoy sightseeing. So pack allergy meds or plan to hit up a drug store. Funnily enough, we were fine everywhere else in Japan.
- Used the GO app for hailing taxis. A lot more taxis use this than Uber. It didn't work in Takamatsu or Beppu, however.

2024.06.09 03:39 StarsofGarnet Epson XP-970 - out of paper, but it's not
A couple of days ago, my Epson XP-970 started giving me an error message saying that there was no paper and that I needed to load some. There was paper in the tray. It's the same type of regular paper I've used since I first got the printer 2 months ago (literally 2 months to the day). I had been printing just fine 5 minutes prior, in fact. One job finished, and a few minutes later, we tried printing again, and it just won't work. It starts to act like it's printing, then bam, an error that it's out of paper.
I've followed the troubleshooting steps: make sure there's paper, fan it out, try fewer sheets, take out the paper and try replacing it, run the paper guide cleaner steps, etc. I even tried using a piece of photo paper, just in case; but no, I had the same problem. ONE TIME, it grabbed a piece of paper and printed... very, very poorly. All the lines were doubled up, warped, out of place, and then immediately started saying out of paper again. If I try to run any maintenance programs, it does the same thing (unless it pulls from the back, like the paper guide cleaner).
I've checked drivers, firmware... I'm at a loss. I use this printer for my business, I can't be without it for weeks so sending it in for warranty is a nightmare of an option. I have a vendor fair coming up in 2 weeks and I need to print my labels ASAP. There has to be a way to fix this... right?

2024.06.09 02:24 MischieviousWind Printer won’t print or copy
Brother MFC-L2740DW
Printer suddenly stopped working. It began as a “printer busy” error message on my phone when I would send a task. This kept up for several days. Also the printer would sometimes freeze and when I tried to turn it off at the button, there would be no response, or if a button did respond it would be with beeps, so would have to unplug.
So today I unplugged, restarted, set time and date, made sure network was set up correctly, made sure no paper was stuck, filled paper tray, checked toner, everything is fine. Next I tried printing and copying from the printer itself and I get these beeps. I downloaded the brother drivers on a PC hoping they would recognize the problem, but the printer isn’t communicating with it. When I send a print job, the printer doesn’t even come out of sleep mode.
Anyone else have a clue as to what’s going on?

2024.06.09 01:41 azskalt97 Problems with Brother Printer after SSD Upgrade and Windows 11 on MSI GF63
Hi everyone, I need your help :(
I have an **MSI GF63 laptop** that worked perfectly when it was new. Over time, and with limited disk space (256 GB), I decided to upgrade and got a new SSD.
I tried using the Recovery from the original installation, but the system never booted. (I was later told that changing the boot mode to UEFI or Legacy would have fixed it, but by then it was too late and the recovery had been deleted). So, I did a clean install of **Windows 11**, using drivers from the MSI website and Dragon Center. (I haven't used third-party drivers).
After that, the PC worked normally, though I suspect some input lag in **HW: Unleashed** (not sure if it's related). However, I encountered a problem: my **Brother printer** stopped working. I can't print or scan; Wi-Fi is impossible and the scanner fails a lot when connected by cable.
I am using the updated programs from Brother. At first, I thought it was an issue with my new internet, but I found out that printing by cable and Wi-Fi on my **Lenovo Legion Go**, **Surface Pro**, and my family's **Huawei laptop** works fine. The only one that fails is my MSI laptop.
Additionally, I have several other devices like cameras, a 3D printer, USB microphones, and gamepads, all of which work perfectly. The Brother printer is the only device that I can't use.
I contacted MSI about getting a recovery since I'm a teacher and the printer is essential for my work. They said there's no download link and that I have to pay for a USB with the files... which wouldn't be much if I didn't live outside the US.
For now, I've been working from the Lenovo Legion Go, but it seems ridiculous that I can't use the MSI laptop for this.
I don't have any antivirus or firewall configured other than default Windows Defender.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

What's preventing hardware makers from making drivers for the new ARM chips? Are they harder to do than making apps ARM native? And doesn't Microsoft have generic drivers for stuff like mics, webcams, printers etc?

2024.06.08 23:35 DIY_Forever Matched set update.
 | Close up of the new fan shroud around the Spider V3 hotend. submitted by DIY_Forever to VoxelabAquila [link] [comments] Got the 3DTouch mounted. Plenty of room to route the wiring away from the hotend. Clean space and filament efficient design. Now I just need to get that mainboard swapped and firmware stabbed in and I should be good to go. So the new to me second hand G32 printer is here, and assembly and configuration excluding the dual Z is completed. Ran PID tuning on both the hot end and bed, trammed the bed, spent way too long tramming the bed but got it smooth up level, ran an absolutely gorgeous auto mesh, and got the extruder to do its thing. Slammed Mirscoc in it and tried my hand at a custom splash screen. Apparently I did something wrong but will go back and fix that later. Running a print job now, had a hiccup when I printed the display frame so printing a new one. Should be a fast and easy test of the setup. The original Aquila is being checked and sadly, it is a sick puppy. The new cables are here and it's not the cabling. Mainboard / driver is definately bad. I think I am going to get new to me Aquila at 100% before I rip the innards out of my original. Still need to get some liquid electrical tape anyway. So for those keeping score. Original has PEI build sheet, 3D Touch, and Spider V3 hot end, bed handle, vertical screen bracket, display frame, WinSinn LED fans in the hot end and mainbaord housing, Aluminum leveling knobs with heavy duty springs, Ender 3 custom fan shroud, Ender 3 style BLTouch mount, metal extruder direct drive, dual gear extruder, and dual Z. Pending installs are the slot covers, and the 4.2.7 mainboard. Slot covers are being printed on the new to me Aquila as I type... New to me Aquila has. PEI build sheet, 3D Touch, bed handle, slot covers, vertical screen bracket, Aluminum leveling knobs with heavy duty springs, WinSinn LED fans in the hot end and mainbaord housing, Ender 3 custom fan shroud, Ender 3 style BLTouch mount, metal extruder direct drive, dual gear extruder, Pending updates are Spider V3 hot end, dual Z, and a better print of the display frame. There is a possibility if not a likelihood I am going to do the 4.2.7 board in this one as well, again to make them match. The new to me and seemingly working, or at least in testing Aquila mod platform... |
2024.06.08 22:54 cidra_ Cheapest, lowest power device to share Brother HL-1110 printer in local network
Title says it all. I have this printer but no PC to connect it to. I do have a Linux laptop, a Windows laptop and a bunch of Android devices. How can I share the printer across the local network? As far as I'm concerned there are no official ARM drivers for this printer so x86 is highly preferred, but otherwise I could risk with the community made ARM portings.

2024.06.08 20:47 ChortleBog Network Printer shows offline until I bounce the laptop off/on the wifi
I have a brother MFC-L2700DW laser printer on my network. From time to time, it appears "offline" to a laptop (windows) until the LAPTOP itself is disconnected/reconnected to the wifi.. then it appears again. All during that time, other machines on the same wifi are able to print just fine. This isn't exclusive to one laptop, it just seemingly randomly affects different machines at different times.
The printer is set up for network printing not "wifi printing" (where you have to be on the exact same SSID wifi for it to work). Although to take that problem out of the running, I've made sure the one currently experiencing it is on the exact same SSID.
Has anyone seen anything like this? I've done the obvious steps (reinstall drivers on the pc, reset the printer, bounce the router, etc..)

2024.06.08 20:31 skoops7 Scaling/ margin issues
I have a Brother monochrome laser printer model# DCP-L2550DW and I am having trouble with printing things accurately. The first and second picture are from the same pattern/ shop and the third picture is from a different pattern/ shop. I am running into the exact same problem, no matter what it is I’m trying to print. I have printed patterns before from an HP printer that I used to have but I wanted to upgrade to this one. I have went into every setting I could possibly think of including: the computer’s device and printer settings, driver settings, and the actual printer’s settings. I’ve also made sure that I was printing with the recommended margins and scaling in the pattern instructions (which has always worked with other printers), but nothing has changed and everything I print comes out very off. Has anyone had this problem or knows how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 😊

2024.06.08 14:25 MineralAqua Aquila (N32) Mainboard/stepper driver fried ?
I own two "normal" Aquilas N32 (the first ones, no X1/X2 etc), upgraded with eg. new BROZZL heatbreak, BLTouch and Orbiter 2.0 (with adjusted Vref=1.2V, steps/mm etc.) and AlexUI.
For the Orbiters I edited AlexUI-firmware provided on GitHub. Both Aquilas are virtually the same.
Both printers printed beautifully with these mods, several spools of PLA, even a little ABS and ASA, and one of them quite a lot PETG (printed the modules of a hydroponic tower and netpots with PETG which takes up to one day, in case of the netpots with plenty of retractions) .
Well, exactly the latter is now showing strange behaviours: the extruder stopped mid print, sometimes it extruded normally till end of print, sometimes it stopped near end of print, sometimes after a few minutes, and lately it doesnt extrude at all when printing gcode. The extruder wont take one spin. No clicking. And no clogging, I can easily push the filament by hand. Hotend- and bed-temperature kept normal, and X/Y/Z behaved like the extruder was working, printing "in air".
But, when changing filament via the display, it retracts and extrudes the filament totally normal.
In other words, I can happily change filaments, but it won´t print gcode any more.
The exact same gcode via SD-card prints totally normal on the other Aquila.
All fans are running. Also set all settings to default and calibrated everything again (z-offset, PID, steps/mm etc)
I suspect I damaged the E0-Stepper driver, since I printed PETG with 70°C bed and 240-250°C hotend for close to 20h each in a row.
Did I miss anything ?
Is there any remedy for my problem ? New board ? Which one ? Trashcan?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

2024.06.08 09:27 Federal-Teaching1197 THERMAL PRINTER NOT WORKING PROPERLY, NEED HELP.
My Milestone thermal printer Model MHT-L1081 is not working properly. I have windows for my laptop. It worked just fine when I got it... I tried to switch to smaller labels and that's when it went on a hiatus. I'm trying to just go back to printing my 4" × 6" labels and I've done the following to troubleshoot..
It makes no sense... Does anyone have any ideas on how I can rectify this problem? I'm not tech savvy, so pretty please dumb it down as best you can lol... thank you so much in advance... I'm about to just go buy another printer because I'm on a deadline and wasting serious time.. Thanks again!!!!
submitted by Federal-Teaching1197 to techsupport [link] [comments]
- Made sure connection cable from the laptop to the thermal printer itself is connected properly.
- Power supply is fine.
- I installed a new printer driver and deleted all traces of the old one.. (at least I'm pretty sure I have, unless it's picking it up somewhere else on my laptop)
- I had my laptop delete the printer itself and then added it again to my devices.
- I've went and changed the custom sizing to 4x6 inches to match paper.. (Is there a density problem? Or anything else I need to adjust? I am not sure..)
- The paper is in there lined up perfect within the printer.
- Cleaned the thermal roller with rubbing alcohol .
- Set thermal printer to default.

2024.06.08 08:50 TheITBrosCom Configuring printers for network
In our daily tasks, we often need to configure printers for network use. To help you manage your organization's printers with ease, we've compiled a list of articles that offer simple and effective solutions:
Allow non-administrators to install printer drivers
In Windows environments, non-admin users typically face restrictions when attempting to install printer drivers due to insufficient privileges. By default, installing a driver requires local administrator permissions, creating a dependency on IT support for adding new printers. However, this inconvenience can be mitigated by configuring Group Policies (GPO) to enable non-admin users to install printer drivers without needing elevated privileges.

How to deploy printers to users or computers via Group Policy
Group Policy Preferences (GPP) provide a streamlined method for automating the connection of shared network printers to domain users. This guide outlines the steps to deploy printers to users' computers using Group Policy Objects (GPO) within an Active Directory environment. By leveraging GPO, administrators can ensure the automatic installation of printer drivers and the seamless availability of network printers to users, enhancing efficiency and reducing manual configuration efforts.

Configure Remote Desktop Easy Print on Windows Server 2022
Remote Desktop Easy Print is a Windows feature that makes printing from remote desktop sessions to local printers simple. Before Easy Print, printing from a remote session was challenging, especially without the right drivers. Easy Print solves this by creating a virtual printer on the remote computer that redirects print jobs to your local printer.

Please help me before I throw it down the street.
It's brand new, did all the set up & installed all the appropriate drivers etc, according to all the apps and 'printer status' the printer is 'ready to print' but everything I'm trying to print comes up with a 'printer error' with no suggestion on fixes.
computer and printer are on same wifi network everything is up to date as far as I can tell
I spent $60 I didn't really have spare on this fucking thing to try and get through some paperwork I need to do and so far 0/10.
I've never in my life had to spend like 2 hours trying to set up a printer - I've used HP before, I know they're cheap and don't last long but legit never had these sorts of issues with the brand which is why I got it
am in Australia if that matters
any suggestions to fix?

I was skeptical at first about how well it would work, especially since I've had some not-so-great experiences with other computer peripherals in the past. But boy, was I pleasantly surprised! First things first, this little device is super easy to use. All you gotta do is connect it to your computer via USB, and voila! You're all set. It's like having your very own DVD/CD player right on your desk or wherever you put your laptop. One of the best things about this product is its portability. I mostly use it on my HP Laptop, but occasionally, I also plug it into my old desktop - it works seamlessly with both. Plus, it doesn't require any additional power source, which makes it even more convenient to carry around. The speed is pretty decent too. While it may not be the fastest DVD writer out there, it gets the job done without any hiccups. And let's not forget the noise level - it's super quiet! I can play a DVD or burn a CD without disturbing anyone around me. Now, I did encounter a minor issue regarding compatibility with some of my older DVDs. There were a few cases where the device struggled to read the discs properly. However, I quickly discovered that cleaning up the DVDs with a soft cloth did the trick, and now everything works perfectly fine. Overall, I'm really happy with this HP External DVD Writer. It's easy to use, portable, and does exactly what it's supposed to do - write DVDs and CDs! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable solution for their disc burning needs. So go ahead, give it a try; I bet you won't be disappointed! 🔗LG USB CD/DVD External Optical Drive - Slim Portablehttps://preview.redd.it/i4qnd3z3o95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ee0069ebcd1d7f31c1ed215e8db7b3626a00645 I recently got my hands on the LG external DVD writer, and I must say, it's been quite a game-changer for me. No more worrying about losing or damaging my old DVDs, as this little device has made it incredibly easy to store and access my data. First off, the portability of this DVD writer is just fantastic. It's small and light enough to throw in my bag, making it perfect for work trips or watching movies on the go. And the fact that it supports M-DISC formats means I can store important data securely for years to come. Another feature that really impressed me was the silent play technology. Unlike some other DVD writers that I've tried in the past, this one is surprisingly quiet. As someone who's always on the move, it's a huge plus to have a DVD writer that doesn't make any noise while I'm working or watching a movie. That being said, there's one downside to this DVD writer. I noticed that it tends to struggle with stickered discs, which can be frustrating at times. However, I still think the pros far outweigh the cons, making this an excellent choice for anyone in need of a reliable and affordable external DVD writer. 🔗External USB 3.0 CD/DVD Combo Burner for Laptophttps://preview.redd.it/k8c0b9b4o95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=266c721ab1cbbd3a4de9de848c9598010e1f8c8dIn my pursuit of finding the perfect external DVD drive for my laptop, I came across the Amicool USB 3.0 Type-C CD DVD +/-RW Optical Drive. As an avid DVD lover who frequently needs to transfer data on-the-go, I found this little device to be a life-saver. The USB interface allows for seamless attachment to my laptop, while its lightweight and shock-resistant design ensures that it withstands even the toughest travel conditions. One of the standout features of this external DVD drive is its ability to provide high data read and write speeds, making data transmission a breeze. Its built-in USB cable ensures that there are no cords to tangle or lose when on the go. Additionally, I appreciate the fact that it can be powered solely by USB 3.0 ports or USB-C ports, eliminating the need for an additional power source. While both reviewers highly praised the drive's speed and performance, one user did mention that the cord could be longer. As someone who frequently uses this drive, I can attest that while the cord is short, it's not a deal-breaker for me, and it still gets the job done efficiently. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this external DVD drive to anyone in search of a reliable, fast, and portable solution for their DVD needs. Its unique combination of advanced features and sleek design make it a must-have for technophiles on-the-go. 🔗LG Ultra-Slim Portable DVD Burner & Drive (Black)https://preview.redd.it/ujrxlwv4o95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd0d366783bef1c03624d348cc35d138fb6f6221 I recently got my hands on the LG GP65NB60 Portable USB External DVD Burner and Drive, and it has been a game-changer for me. As a travel blogger, I often find myself in situations where I need to quickly access files or burn DVDs on the go. This sleek device has been a lifesaver for me, and it has all the features I could ask for in a portable DVD burner. The first thing that caught my attention was its ultra-slim design. Measuring at just 0.75mm in height, this portable DVD burner is incredibly lightweight and easy to carry around. It's perfect for those who are always on the go and need a reliable DVD burner that can easily fit into their bag or pocket. One of the standout features of this device is its lightning-fast write speeds. With a max 8x DVD Write Speed and a max 24x CD Write Speed, this DVD burner can handle even the most demanding tasks with ease. I was able to burn large files to DVDs in no time, which made my life so much easier when I needed to transfer files between devices. Another feature that I love about this DVD burner is its ability to connect to TVs, digital photo frames, and PCs via a USB cable. This made it incredibly easy for me to enjoy my media on multiple devices without the need for additional cables or power sources. The Super Multi Compatibility optical drives also allowed me to read and write different types of disc formats in one convenient package. However, there is one aspect of this device that I found to be a bit frustrating. The instructions provided are printed on tiny pieces of paper with a small font, which made it difficult for me to read and understand. This is particularly problematic for those with bad eyesight or those who prefer more visual instructions. All in all, the LG GP65NB60 Portable USB External DVD Burner and Drive has been an essential tool for me as a travel blogger. Its ultra-slim design, fast write speeds, and compatibility with multiple devices make it the perfect choice for anyone who needs a reliable DVD burner that can easily fit into their bag or pocket.

After using it for a few weeks, I can confidently say that it's made my life so much easier. The plug-and-play functionality is incredibly convenient, allowing me to start using it right away without any driver installations. One of the most notable features of this CD/DVD drive is its versatile rewrite speeds. From 4x for DVD+RW to 10x for CD-RW, I've been able to customize my discs with ease and speed. It's perfect for anyone who needs flexibility and creativity in their projects. I also appreciate how this DVD burner is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8, Win 10, and various Mac OS versions. This compatibility ensures reliable performance across different platforms without the need for additional drivers. Another great feature of this external CD/DVD drive is its lightning-fast data transfer. Using USB 3.0 transmission standard, it provides stable data transmission speeds and is even backward compatible with USB2.0 and USB1.1. However, one minor issue I encountered is that the instructions for setting up the device were quite small, making them difficult to read without a magnifying glass. Additionally, the device seems to be a bit flimsier compared to some other options on the market, but its performance has been consistent and reliable nonetheless. Overall, I am highly satisfied with this portable CD/DVD drive for laptops and PCs. Its ease of use, versatility, and compatibility make it a valuable addition to any computer setup. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable external CD/DVD drive. 🔗Targus USB 2.0 DVD-ROM External Optical Drive for Laptopshttps://preview.redd.it/d4j90qq5o95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bafd6690f7b84fe5d90e62747c56bb5479bb2cd I recently got my hands on the Targus DVD-ROM External USB 2.0 Optical Drive - Read Only, and oh boy, has it been a game-changer for me!

The top-loading design is a godsend - it's super easy to use, and the ergonomic controllers make operating it a breeze. Plus, it's incredibly portable, fitting snugly in my backpack or laptop bag without taking up too much space or adding unnecessary weight. One thing that stands out about this external DVD drive is how simple it is to connect to a USB port. I don't have to worry about other drivers or complicated setups; I just plug it in, and I'm good to go! Additionally, it's compatible with RoHS as well as various versions of Windows, including 7, 2000, XP, and Vista. However, there are a couple of downsides. Firstly, the device can be quite noisy at times, which can be a little distracting when I need to focus on work or another task. Secondly, some users have reported issues with the product's durability, especially when it comes to the flimsy top cover and the potential for breaking easily if not handled with care. That being said, the Targus DVD-ROM External USB 2.0 Optical Drive - Read Only, Black is still an excellent option for those who need a reliable and easy-to-use external DVD drive. Despite its minor shortcomings, this device has made it incredibly convenient for me to access and enjoy my content wherever I may be, without sacrificing portability or ease of use.
