Question: what is a decent print to TIFF program for the PC. Normally when I ask this kind of question the problem is too few. This time google gives me thousands of hits, most which are actual print2Tiff programs. So of the many many choices I want to pick one that lets me choose resolution, is not buggy and is free of malware.

As soon as I stick a writable DVD drive it says it is a CD drive. Happens with an old DVD drive that works on other computers so I suspect it is the computer not the drive. Specifically since it is a netbook that has no native DVD I suspect there is a missing driver but google is so fucking spammed that a google search won't find the driver for me.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Is the external drive cobbled or a brand name?

Asus which is not a good brand name. But it works on other computers.
And the documentation says there is no custom driver. It is specifically designed to run off the standard USB mass storage driver.
With no DVD in the drive it says that it is a DVD Ram drive. AS soon as a DVD is in the drive XP sees it as a CD drive.

I was just wondering if either the netbook or the drive manufacturer had some extra utils.
Yeah, I'm sure you checked, but I was hoping to have an "Oh! I heard that..." response, but hmmm...

They might but I have yet to get to any ASUS drivers. Keep ending up with sites trying to sell driver dective. Google has been search ended spammed to the point of useless for certain things. You just can't get anything but spam in the first 1000 results. Maybe I'll try bing or yahoo.

Typo, can't you just go to the ASUS website for drivers? When I google "asus" I get their mainpage which has a "drivers" subhead...

Yeah but no driver for this dvd player on the site. At any rate found a solution. I downloadws easyCD free cd burning software and with that installed the drive works even when I'm not running Easy CD. Downloaded something during installation that fixed the problem.

So, I have to go to a conference next week, and realized I no longer have a work laptop. Thinking vaguely about picking up a netbook for the trip. Does anyone have a recommendation? I will mostly use it for net surfing, possibly some word processing. Or should I look into a tablet?
eta: possibly some movie watching, too, but not a lot.
Thoughts?
