Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000709)

We just had an upgrade of the printer infrastructure. New printers are installed, Canon Uniflow software are being upgraded as well as the existing drivers are being upgraded. Things went fine except for few users having issues like:
  • Cannot set default printer
  • Cannot print directly from Outlook client

Thanks to the link http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/can-not-set-any-printer-as-default-printer the issues were resolved following the steps there.

The fix, which worked for me yesterday, is simple:

Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\ -If the Windows key doesn't exist, create a new key;

Then check for the following entry (or create it if it is not there)

Name: Device

Type: Reg_SZ (String Value)

Value: winspool,Ne00 <-- anything="anything" change="change" else="else" if="if" is="is" it="it" span="span" there="there" this="this" to="to" value.="value.">
Should you be unable to save it, just make sure the user has Full (or special) access to the Windows key (by right-clicking on the key)

After that I ran the "gpupdate /force" as the drivers were pushed using group policy.

    Hi, probably our entry may be off topic but anyways, I have been surfing around your blog and it looks very professional. It’s obvious you know your topic and you appear fervent about it.

Access denied for user 'bacula'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Image
While installing a test backup server (Bacula), I got the error "Access denied for user 'bacula'@'localhost' (using password: YES)" while connecting to the MySQL database. Root access was fine. Grant permission as well as the user password was correct and thus it took me quite some time to understand that though the user password was correct, it wasn't encrypted like the root when checked from Webmin.  Thus from mysql command, instead of - mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = 'baculauserpassword' WHERE user = 'bacula'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; I change it too  mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD('baculauserpassword') WHERE user = 'bacula'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; After getting the password encrypted, I can finally connect to the MySQL server and run the Bacula.
