Warning do not install java 8 on fiery servers.

[DYP]

It prevented Stock Library Manager from running.

First I tried to do a Windows Restore to Tuesday and that caused even more problems. Returned it back to today. Everything would run ok but still the same script error when trying run the Stock Library Manager. Ran CHKDSK and SFC with no errors reported. Then decided to look at Programs and Features for what was installed yesterday. Sure enough Java 8 show up. Uninstalled it and now Stock Library Manager will run again.

How it got installed automatically I have to find out as I thought I had that turned off. So now I waste most of the day on effen Windows BS.

First company that come out with a Unix/Linux print server I am going to take serious look at. I am so damn tired of putting up with Windows.

I've been saying this for >10 years. I'd be willing to pay DOUBLE.

I found this How to disable Java Update in Windows 7 | Baud Labs and now I know why it updated.

If Brisque would've adapted to transparencies, your comment wouldn't even exist. I'm with you though. Rest In Peace (get it?) Brisque.

I installed the update on one of ours a few weeks back. Took me a while, but I finally realized it was the culprit and downgraded to 7. You would think that EFI would either work with version 8, or block it.

The embedded Fierys run linux

The embedded Fierys run linux

That is what I thought, but the last embedded Fiery I saw was probably 10 years ago.

If this is still true then why with the externals do we still have to suffer with Windows?

 

[Steve0]

No, they still make embedded Fierys, and while they did run on Windows for a while, the current crop runs on Linux.

Linux Fierys, however, do not have FACI capability (no Linux GUI, no version of CWS to run on no-GUI), so a little more difficult to administer.
