Software

Software, installed in both machines, that allows a user at a local computer to have control of a remote computer via modem or other connection.

 Remote control operation is used to take control of an unattended desktop personal computer from a remote location.

Example: connecting to and operating your office computer while you're at home. You would have access to all of the information existing on your office computer just as if you were sitting in front of it at the office.

 

 

READER FEEDBACK...

A reader asks...

Q.   "Where can I go on the WEB to translate a sentence from one language to another language?"

 

A.   You can find a language translation page at...
            http://translator.go.com/
You can also type in a web page address (URL) and have the entire web page translated for you.  It's a crude translation but it comes in handy sometimes.

 

 

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE...

       Math teachers have lots of problems.

Stopping A Print Job That's In Progress

When a Windows based print job is initiated, a number of hardware and software devices are involved. In order to know what to do to stop the print job, it is important to understand the entire process that occurs when you print.

When you click on the “Ok” button that starts a print job, typically the first thing that happens is the information to be printed is “spooled” by Windows and placed in what is commonly referred to as a “Print Queue”. In most cases, a small printer icon will appear in your Systray (the small icons in the bottom right corner of you monitor, next to your clock) when a print queue has been opened.

This “queuing” of print jobs is what allows us to print documents in the background so that we can go on to other tasks while the pages are being printed. Once a portion or the entire print job has been captured by the print queue, it starts to feed the information to your printer.
 
It's important to remember that as long as you see the little printer icon in your Systray, the computer still has a portion of the print job that has not yet been fed to the printer.

To abort a print job, start by pulling the paper from the printer paper tray so that no additional paper is wasted. Wait until the current page is printed and the printer is giving you an “Out of paper” error message or indication. Once everything has stopped, turn off the printer, which will clear the printer’s memory. Next, check to see if the printer icon is still in the Systray. If it is, double-click it to open the print queue window.  This window will have a list of the current print job(s). To clear all print jobs, click on PRINTER drop-down menu at the top left of the print queue window and then choose the “Purge Print Jobs” option. Once you clear the print queue and close it, you can replace the blank paper and turn your printer back on.

That's it.
