Printsmith Software listening ports

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Printsmith software listens on port 5800, 5901. Remote access applications that use these ports will conflict with the PrintSmith software. You will have to disable the RA software to connect to the PrintSmith host.
You may re-enable the RA software after you have connected to the host.

Applications known to have this conflict. Teamviewer and TightVNC.

This post is a result of a client spending hours on the phone with PrintSmith tech support. They were told repeatedly the client could not connect to the host due to a time synchronization error. We resolved the issue in less than 5 minutes.

If you need help with any PrintSmith issue please call us today!

Don’t Panic!

First, don’t panic!!! We receive so many calls from clients that are panicking about viruses.

Here are some steps to try to deal with viruses.

  1. Update your antivirus program by doing an internet update.
  2. Run a full virus scan on your computer. (delete any viruses found)
  3. Restart your computer, run the full virus scan again.
  4. If you still have virus activity after all this, you need professional help.

DO NOT:

  1. Purchase software that claims it will remove this virus from your computer.
  2. Google search and frantically download the first software that claims to remove the virus
  3. Attempt to delete items from the registry based on a random search of the virus on a search engine.

Dell Printers, Abobe software and most other applications,

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Dell printers require services in order to operate successfully. Often times we receive calls about printing, the cause is some or all the services required to operate the software have been disabled.

The same case is true of many software applications. If the services required to run the program are disabled the software will not operate properly.

Simply reinstalling the software will not resolve this problem. You must manually enable the services so the program will operate properly.

As always, call us if you need support.
