Not Enough Memory to complete this operation?

Let's see here I have 2GB of System memory with 1336 of that free? Out of memory my eye! Many people out there seem to be encountering this when running Vista and trying to connect to a network printer. I encountered this same situation while trying to connect to a shared Samsung ML-1740 Laser printer that is hosted on a Windows 2003 server. There are many articles out there with suggested solutions that include hacking the registry, connecting the device directly or even go out and get a new printer. Here I will take you step by step how I was able get my network printer to work.

1. Download the printer driver.
2. Run the Printer driver setup program electing to connect the printer at a later time.
3. After the program finishes go to Start > Printers > Properties of the Printer you installed
4. Ports tab > Add Port Button
5. Select "Local Port" and click the New Port... button
6. Name the New port with network path to the shared printer.
ie. \\server\share
7. Make sure this port is checked as the default and close the window
8. At this point you should be able to run a Test page or document using your installed
printer.

And there you go, network printer lovin' on your brand spankin new Vista box!

Neues Jahr in Deutschland

Imagine its New Years Eve and you're at Times Square in New York city. The clock has just struck twelve, the ball has dropped and the fireworks begin to fire into the air. Imagine the rockets bursting, giving way to their colorful flame as you stare in awe at the grand finale of a soon to be long night.

Now imagine yourself at home, out on your front porch or your terrace. And imagine if all of your neighbors were equipped with the same firepower you observed that night in Times Square. And what if your entire town was equipped with ten times that amount of black powder and magnesium? You would be able to see explosions for miles upon miles, only being clouded by the foggy mist that falls to earth after their climax. You would then have a good understanding of what I experienced here in Germany on New Years Eve.

The New Years Celebration started hours before, hearing the occasional squeal of a screamer and a sudden pop of an M80. But from about 2300 to 0100 I was ready to take shelter in the basement. The spectacle of the rockets whizzing through the air and exploding sometimes right outside my window was more that I'd ever thought to expect.

Now this is the only time of year that the German law allows such an event to take place. But when the people to take advantage of this liberty, they do it in style. It makes me envious to see the German's celebrating probably the most insignificant holiday in all of history with so much passion. I envy this because I know when I return to the States, I will not have as much liberty even at home, in my back yard, on the 4th of July, to celebrate that which was payed for in blood to secure my freedom from tyranny and from death. I look forward to the next New Years Eve so that I too can contribute to that late night celebration.
