Applications

  • Office 2010
    1. Check for updates
    2. Don't forget to activate it (by changing the product key)
  • MYOB is used for Accounting
    • MYOB Accountright Standard v19.1 replaces MYOB Accouting
      • All files are stored in Public Documents -> MYOB Folder
      • As the data files are stored separately from the program so there should be no special permission changes required for a limited user
      • Associate MYO files with the program c:\STANDARD19\MYOB.EXE
    • MYOB Accounting v18 was previously used. This software does not function well as a limited user at version 16. Issue the following commands to make it work
      • cacls c:\myob18 /T /E /P BUILTIN\Users:F
      • cacls "c:\Program Files\myob16" /T /E /P Office:F
      • Alternatively cacls "c:\Program Files\myob16" /T /E /P BUILTIN\Users:F

Airprint

  • Set up according to http://jaxov.com/2010/11/how-to-enable-airprint-service-on-windows/ modified to avoid installing iTunes
    1. Download iTunes
    2. Use 7-zip to extract Bonjour64.msi
    3. Install Bounjour64.msi
    4. Share the printer, uncheck Render print jobs on client computers
    5. As administrator, create a directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Airprint'
    6. Download and copy 'airprint.exe', 'libairprint.dll' and 'XpdfPrint.dll' into the directory just created
    7. Create a Service using the command ' sc.exe create AirPrint binPath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\AirPrint\airprint.exe -s" depend= "Bonjour Service" start= auto '. This command should return '[SC] CreateService SUCCESS'.
    8. Start the Airprint service using the command ' sc.exe start AirPrint '
    9. Create and exception in windows firewall for ' C:\Program Files (x86)\Airprint\airprint.exe ' (accept default of local networks only)
    10. Test printing from an iOS device. Only Authenticated users (using their credentials for the office PC) will be able to print.
  • Proposed fix for 'No AirPrint Printers Found' after upgrading IOS device to IOS5 to remove 'Printer-type=0x52' and 'printer-state=3' from the Bonjour txt information.
    1. Confirm no printers found with IOS5 device
    2. Open a Command prompt window with Administrator privileges and then alter the Airprint service by
      1. Stop the service using the command 
        sc.exe stop Airprint
      2. Deleting the service using the command 
        sc.exe delete Airprint
        which should return '[SC] DeleteService SUCCESS'
      3. Create a replacement Service with an extra parameter -R _ipp._tcp,_universal 
        sc.exe create AirPrint binPath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\AirPrint\airprint.exe -R _ipp._tcp,_universal -s" depend= "Bonjour Service" start= auto
        This command should return '[SC] CreateService SUCCESS'.
      4. Start the Airprint service using the command 
        sc.exe start AirPrint
    3. Confirm printer is found with IOS5 device. In case of failure revert the change by deleting and recreating the service without the -R parameter and arguments
