Google cloud printing "Printers offline"
by Anatoliy Shudrya 16 May '17

Hello everyone on the list, Does anybody know of a best practice for google cloud printing? We have a print server on win 2012 r2, and google cloud printing routs all print jobs from cloud printers to our physical server. Because many of our printers are "classic printers." For the most part it works O.K. but very often we get all printers offline and our end users are pretty much fed-up with this because I am not always onsite and sometimes it takes me several hours to login remotely, fire up chrome, log in to cloud printing and reset printers to get them back online. I always keep chrome open and logged in with dedicated account for GCP but do to unforeseen events I get logged out quite often. I have tried to setup GCP service on the server, but no luck, I get an error that the service cannot be started and all fails. I know this is not accessibility issue but I know there is many great experts on the list that maybe someone can suggest something to a struggling GCP admin. Thank you Anatoliy

MalwareBites

I found with Java Access Bridge enabled and Window-Eyes MalWareBites was somewhat useable. Not perfect, but I managed to get it going and scanning and removing whatever it found. It is possible to save a report and read it with Notepad.

Skype for business/Microsoft link
by Zameer Mahomed 15 May '17

15 May '17

Hi Listers, I have a few questions regarding skype for business, help would be much appreciated please. Which screenreader is recommended for use with skype for business? is it possible to continue a conversation that has already started? I find that I have to manually find the person I want to chat to and choose send IM. Choosing continue conversation, does not open the conversation window. Is there a keyboard shortcut to answer calls? Also, is it possible to have conversation windows open up for each chat? Any help would be much appreciated. Kind Regards

JFW and exchange mailbox admin UI?
by Zameer Mahomed 14 May '17

14 May '17

Hi listers, I'm facing a situation where I am not able to view mailbox details for now with Jaws 18 running windows 10 and Internet explorer. The company uses exchange mailbox admin (not sure the exact naming as I am new to all this stuff) However, it is web-based and seems to be accessible. What happens is, I search for a user, click on it, go to mailbox features, but when I try to go to mail flow, its as though JFW crashes Internet explorer. With google chrome, the page automaticly closes. Does anyone know a solution to be able to manage exchange mailboxes effectively with JFW? Apologies for the newbe questions, just got an opportunity to experience the workplace and these are some of the problems I am running in to. Your help would be much appreciated. Kind Regards

Windows machines, new nagware
by David Mehler 13 May '17

13 May '17

Hello, Is there any new "nagware" out lately like in the last week or so? Nagware is what I call those virus fakes that pop up and read out with a tts "Your computer is infected, call this number etc etc etc". I've got a machine that has it, it was a low priority until that owner got another machine infected, which is a high priority. Things we've tried, this is on win10 1607, Windows defender, Malware bytes (version unknown), (is v3 really accessible last time I tried it no joy), and a disk cleanup giving emphasis to deleting the temporary files. Also, a ccleaner. The issue is nothing is detecting this malware, not defender or malware bytes, and cleaning the temporary files didn't stop it. Browser used, firefox, (version unknown). Last item one machine user was visiting the site www.watchfree.to I also replaced the system's hosts file with one specifically designed to block a lot of ad sites, can't remember where I got it from, no joy. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

Icecast - displaying more meta details.

Hello, I've asked this question on the Icecast list but no one responded. Icecast doesn't seem to expose the album title through the status.xslt file. Has anyone here had experience with extending the schema of this file to include this data? Also, do you have any suggestions as to how I can have ID3 version 2 tags read correctly?
