%!PS-Adobe-3.0 Query userdict Printed out when Using Mac

When setting up a MAC to print to a Xerox Docucenter 3375 , 

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 Query userdict (004)cvn{\004) print flush}put %%BegininFeatureQue

1. I believe the answer is to find where to make the setttings in the  printer (via the control panel or web interface) and set it so that the default language is KDPL3 (PostScript 3).

2. Download and install : https://www.fujixerox.co.jp/download/apeosport/5_c7780/mac1010e/prt/

2. Go to System Preferences, Printer and add a new printer (‘+’ button).
Choose ‘IP Printing’ and LPD and enter the IP address of the printer.

It will find your printer automatically and it will choose the right driver (Eg FX Docucentre-II C4300 v3016.103 PS’ above). This will NOT work with a non-Postscript printer!

You need to Choose ‘Select Software’ then choose the ‘FX Print Driver for Mac OS X v1.3’ that you just installed.

Windows 10 Previous Versions to the same drive

It seems Windows 10 has turned off an Awesome Windows 7 feature of restoring Previous versions of files and storing the backup files on the same disk. 

Windows 10 now calls this file history , and you need an external drive to store these. Not good for users who move around. 

There are a few workarounds

1) You can use this hack to replicate it to a share : https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-8-1/1055/ask-paul-configure-file-history-use-single-drive

2) You can Partition your drive into two or create a VHD to store these files to

3) You can use System Restore

i> Turn on System Protection for the Dirve and set the capacity you would like these backups to use

ii> Go to the Scheduled Task in Windows and create a schedule for this task

iii> Use Shadow Explorer to find old files from these backups when needed

$recycle.bin Redirected Folder Cannot Delete / Clear

User’s in an environment had their Recycle Bin redirected , however whenever you tried to delete large items for the users remotely it would not let you and the size of the folder / file would show as 0KB

This is obiously a change in Windows 10 / Server 2012 how it stores these files as in Windows 7 / 2008 R2 you could delete selectged items

The work around is to delete the whole $recycle.bin Redirected Folder and this will get recreated next time the user deletes something.

“ErrorQuerying” 123reg Domain Transfer

If you move a domain to 123reg, the status might go to ErrorQuerying

This is due to the fact the IPS Tag is incorrect or you did not set when you do the transfer. It needs to be set before you start the transfer

The resolution is to re-transfer the domain again through the 123reg.co.uk checkout ( you do not need to remove )
