Windows 7 cannot connect to shared printer (error code 0x0000000d)

2012/02/28 4 comments
  1. Problem here: Dell MFP1125 on XP 32-bit gets shared and discovered from Windows 7 (64-bit), but not connected to from Windows 7 (error code 0x0000000d). Elsewhere, many people encounter this error, in a variety of configurations (printers, Windows).
  2. Resolution:
    1. on Windows 7, from the command line, issue “net use LPT1: \\yourservername\yourprinter /persistent:yes”
    2. In devices and printers, from the add printer wizard, add a local printer on LPT1 (installs driver), print your job to that (for it to get redirected to the shared printer).
  3. If you lose your printing capability (“net use” shows “unavailable”), delete the local printer, reissue the “net use” line above, and reinstall the local printer.

How to restrict student in-class web browsing activity with Sanako Study 1200

  1. In the Group pane, from the Activity dropdown selector, choose web browsing.
  2. if your students
    1. do an open-ended web quest, choose radio button: open policy to be able to provide a list of non-allowable websites (e.g. YouTube.com may be useful for your students’ online research activity, but Facebook.com not)
    2. take a well-defined and –confined assessment like an online quiz, choose radio button: strict policy to be able to provide the list of allowable websites
    3. either way, put just the site address (e.g. http://www.dict.cc), without the protocol (NOT: http://www.dict.cc), or else…
  3. the web browsing activity,
    1. prevents any other browser from being opened by the student but IE
    2. begins with opening for the student the table of contents page in IE, listing the allowable websites; whenever the students closes the IE, Sanako reopens it on the table of contents page .
    3. each web activity of your student will be verified against your allow list: sanako-webbrowsing-strict-policy
  4. Note that
    1. there are some caveats, errors&glitches.
    2. the Respondus Lockdown browser (see screencast at min 18:00) installed in the LRC also can also be used to prevent students from accessing non-web-based programs on the computer they are working on; but can not be restricted to a number of web pages, nor can students receive a Table of Contents of the web pages they are allowed to go to .
