How do you change the code page (configure) an IBM 4610-TF6 - printing

I'm trying to print Arabic font on an IBM 4610-TF6 receipt printer. It's currently connected to a windows laptop via USB. I believe I require some sort of diagnostic or configuration utility that works with the printer, however the IBM website / documentation is just a maze of dead ends so far.
Anyone have any experience doing anything similar?

I have found a solution here. It seems that IBM had fixed this issue.
Basically what they are telling you is that you have to update OPOS.
It contains pdf file with detailed description. If it doesn't help you try contacting the IBM support.

Sending phone call without TAPI installed?

I am developing an auto-dialer application to send out mass phone calls to a list of clients from a database. I am using Dialogic's Diva SDK 5.5 WIN API to develop this application. I believe my code is running correctly and I can have the application begin the process of sending a call out, however the issue is that it stops working and just returns "Dialing" as the progress status. The call fails to do anything other than this and I have now been troubleshooting it for quite a while and found return code from one of the error tests that reports there is no TAPI installed on my computer.
Is TAPI required to be able to send phone calls successfully from any computer or is it likely the issue is just an error in my code? I am using the Dialogic Diva UM-Analog-4 media board and I believe I have all of the cables hooked up correctly to it. I cannot find anything that helps answer this question in the Dialogic manuals, any help or insight into this issue is greatly appreciated.
Which of the many APIs are you using? What version of Windows? You mentioned the 5.5 SDK, but is it the Diva API, Diva Component API, Diva API for .NET, etc.? What is your development environment? Do you call "DivaInitialize" as your first command or something else like LineInitializeEX? As of Dec 2015, Dialogic stopped supporting TAPI on their Diva boards (though it still works), so calls to one of their direct APIs should not require TAPI. However using these older 5.5 drivers, especially if you are using the COM controls, it may sit on top of TAPI. You may want to check the follwing:
run services.msc from a command prompt and make sure the "Telephony" service is running. It should be set to "automatic" if you are going to use TAPI
Check that the TSP is installed for your Dialogic card. You should have seen something related to TAPI during the install. The file "divasp.tsp" should be in your system32 folder
Make sure you ran and saved the settings in the Dialogic Configuration Manager for lines, boards, and especially "services" so it connects the correct API for you to use.

Xamarin Forms need help to print through bluetooth printer XP200

I'm creating an XF application which can connect to a printer(XP200) through bluetooth. I've read a lot of topic regarding to "how to access bluetooth device/ use barcode scanner" and also try to implement BluetoothLE package. But the problem is I'm using .Net standard 2.0 so that packages didn't work correctly. I'm finding another solution in this case and that would be great if anyone already worked with XPrinter could help me. Thanks in advance guys

What would be the best way to create a firefox plugin for taking desktop screenshots?

I need to create a firefox plugin that allows a user to take screenshots of any part of their desktop and have them uploaded to a server. There seems to be lots of plugins for screen capturing a webpage, but nothing for capturing anything outside of firefox. So after a little research I have not found much information on how this might be possible. I don't want to resort to a using a java applet but I will if that is my only option.
Does anyone have advice on how I might create such a feature?
Thanks
I don't think a Firefox addon is the most appropriate approach here. Maybe split the task into a Firefox addon to offer the "upload to a server" component and a native app to do the desktop screenshot (or just integrate with existing screenshot tools).
If you're worried about complicating the installation process for end users, you could look into bundling the addon component and native app into a single installer (e.g. MSI on Windows, RPM on Linux, etc.). You'll have to come up with different apps for each platform you want to support (and maybe even each version - e.g. Windows XP vs Windows 10).
Whatever you decide, you'll probably need to create a more specific question to get further help here (there's no simple Firefox.Addons.API.TakeScreenShot() answer I'm afraid).
Also make sure you're using the right terminology - a plugin is the deprecated NPAPI approach whereas addons are still supported.
I'm actually working on taking native desktop screenshots just in the last coupel of days. I'm using js-ctypes. My work goal is the same exact thing to, upload to server. If you would like to collaborate I am very open to it! We can chat about it on #jsctypes irc channel :) irc://moznet/jsctypes (Mibbit IRC WebApp) If you don't know js-ctypes thats ok i can handle that while you can handle uploading techniques, and an editor on canvas :) The editor is a huge part of it, you can see my ideas/plans here: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/wiki/NativeShot
I'm really really interested in a collab on this!
I'm still working on windows right now, the color is messed up: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/tree/digitanks-method
I was just about to start OSX work following this example here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/SonOfGrab/Introduction/Intro.html and here: Take ScreenShot without Window
You can install the addon from that branch and click the icon that gets added to the toolbar, it will take a screenshot with 3sec delay and then append it to the body of the selected tab. (Windows only right now)
Doneskis baby check it out: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nativeshot/
Got some quirks. Released it as v1.0 though. I'm working on Android support, pretty close. I need to flesh out the editor tools. Please let me know if you're willing to collaborate.

Is it possible to compile and use xapian, clucene or lucy on iOS?

I want to compile and use Xapian with xcode on iOS, is there any one with any experiments on this? Is it possible?
Is there any other option for implementing full text search on iOS?I have tried
S4luceneLib (in Obj-C) which works but is port of old version of lucene, also I
have checked Clucene and lucy, which like xapian i can not compile on iOS.
any help and comment will be appreciated.
Speaking as one of the Xapian authors, I don't recall hearing of anyone reporting trying to compile Xapian on iOS. I also don't know of any fundamental reason why it would be impossible to compile it on iOS. I suggest you contact the Xapian developer community (on the xapian-discuss mailing list: http://lists.xapian.org/mailman/listinfo/xapian-discuss or on the #xapian IRC channel on irc.freenode.net), and give details of the attempts you've made to compile Xapian, and the error messages or problems you encountered.

Foxpro 2.6 printing problem

In my school days, i developed a hotel management system in legacy programming language foxpro 2.6. Few months ago, i revived the application and its running pretty well on windows xp. But, i am stuck at printing. Right now i am printing the page to a text file. Afterward i manually open the file and call the print function on that.
I googled and found no effective tutorial or link or anything as to how can i get to print directly from foxpro 2.6. The printer is USB supported and i have tried the trick of adding another printer for virtual port LPT1 and then spooling. Nothing worked.
Later i downloaded an application which acts as a spooler and sends any file that is added to the specified directory to Printer. Still, no success.
Can anyone help me with a short example, a link or a tutorial which guides me to the printing settings in foxpro 2.6
Thanks !!
Install the printer and share it. You may need to set permissions to allow Authenticated Users to use the printer.
Add NET USE LPT1: \CRAIG\USBPRINTER to the logon script for the user's profile.
For help on logon scripts, look up "To assign a logon script to a profile" in XP Help.
Not true - it works perfectly well in Vista and Windows 7, as long as they are the 32-bit versions of those operating systems.
