Staple option on printer greyed out
There are probably a couple issues which could cause your machine to not want to staple or do other Finishing operations, but the first thing you should check is the Configuration of the Driver for the printer on whatever workstation or Server it’s being shared from or is installed on.

Had an Android-based (Android version 2.3.4 Software #4.08.605.2) HTC Incredible phone which kept loading up the Windows log files with error 3005 on a Server 2003 box with Exchange 2003 sp2.

Fix File System is RAW crashed hard drive
You have a crashed hard drive. You throw it in another machine as a slave and CHKDSK scans it and fixes a bunch of errors. But, when Windows starts, you see the drive with a red dot over it with a question mark in it. You can’t open the drive and when you look at [...]
Printer Copier jobs not reaching machine MX-7001n
Sometimes, the Sharp MX-7001n printer/copier machine users send a job to print over the network and the job gets sent to the server, but it sits in queue and the Data light flashes on the unit but nothing prints. When you turn the machine off then back on it will print the job and several [...]

Printer copier goes offline for no reason
For some reason, from time to time my Sharp Copier (MX-7001N) goes offline and no more jobs can be sent to it. What I have noticed looking at the printer itself is that the actual machine will be ready, but in Windows Server 2003, the driver is offline. I’m pretty sure it’s related somehow to [...]

Here is one way you can get rid of the error and start getting your email messages again! NOTE: Internet searches indicate that the error may be related to your phone’s internal memory filling up, so after you do this “fix” the issue may crop up again in the future. You can try setting your [...]
