Comment on pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number -31000 by Gary in Loveland

Turning the printer off and on did not completely solve the problem for me, but it got me started on my own work around below. First, I installed the latest Epson Stylus Photo R300 drivers for Snow Leopard (from Epson website) and when I turned the printer off and then on again I get a Message Window that says a new USB device has been detected. “Do you want to use it for Mac or Virtual Machine?” When I select Virtual Machine (meaning the Windows side of Parallels) I could print checks from my Quicken program. But then I could not print e-mail or web pages from iMail or Safari on the Apple side. When I went to the Apple Print Monitor, I saw the print job was in the queue with the message “Waiting for Printer to be available”. So I turned my printer off and on again and got the same message about a new USB device being detected. This time I hit Mac and as soon as the printer went through its startup cycle the e-mail in queue began printing. (I never had to do this before.) So apparently Parallels has a problem recognizing printer when you associate it with the MAC and you have to use this little work around until they solve this interface problem. It’s a pain but at least I can now print my Quicken checks which is running on the Windows side of Parallels. Hope this helps somebody.

Hi – I just installed GM and this script. It my first use of GM. I have the URI in the control panel for GM for this script but nothing happens when I access a report. I see the usual 30 day default date range. What do I need to double check? Thanks!

Comment on Sine Wave Frequency Sweep with Audacity by Sajowe

Sajowe — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 11:15:20 +0000

After I had just worked out how to do this log freq sweep by myself I thought I’d Google it … and well here I am. I hadn’t though of adding the level controller & now have worked out how to make is a generator rather than a process plugin.

But what I really wanted to say was just a note for the corruptness: when you copy it from the web browser into notepad the quotation marks (ie. “”) are not the proper ones. Just check to see if they are as I’ve also come across coping stuff from Web Browsers (& also MS Word) to notepad the “”s are actually a different character as such. When pasted they become directional “”s but with programming they should be the same at each end of the quote.

Here’s my version anyway (the units have been fixed up a bit too)
;nyquist plug-in
;version 1
;type generate
;name “Freq Sweep”
;action “Log Freq Sweep…”
;info “by Sajowe”

;control frest “Start freq” real “Hz” 20 5 20480
;control frefl “Final freq” real “Hz” 20480 5 20480
;control swpduration “Duration” real “sec” 20 1 300
;control level “Level (dBFS)” real “dBFS” -3 -40 0

(scale-db level (fmosc 0 (pwe 0.000001 frest swpduration frefl 5.001)))
