Android 14 cannot print on Canon printer

 After updating to Android 14 on my Google Pixel 6, I was not able to print any more using my Canon Maxify GX7050. The printer is connected using the LAN. Android did not detect the printer in the network any more nor did the Canon print app.

How I fixed it:

 I disconnected the printer from the LAN, disabled and re-enabled LAN on the printer an re-connected it to the network. After that, Android detected the printer and I was able to print again.

Outlook sends messages on startup but outbox is empty because of stuck read receipt confirmations, Messages stuck in outbox

 I run into two issue with Outlook 16:

  1. Outlook says sending x of y messages on startup, but outbox is empty
  2. Messages are stuck in outbox

How-I-fixed-it:
I found out, that the lock was caused by read confirmations stuck in the send queue, which did not occur in the outbox.

First of all, I disabled the read confimation sending in the Outlook options (E-Mail -> Read Receipts)

The solution then was to abort the submit of the stucked read confirmations using the Tool MFCMAPI as described here:

Edge Chromium displays html select options on different monitor if multi-monitor setup has one high resolution screen

 I have a four monitor setup, 2x 1920x1200, 1x 1920x1080, 1x 3840x2160 (Laptop built in display). Running Edge Browser on one of the 1920px-Monitor and opening an HTML select dropdown, the options are shown on the laptop screen in very small size.

I am running Version 99.0.1150.36 (Offizielles Build) (64-Bit).


How-I-fixed-it:


If I switch the laptop display to 1920x1080 resultion, html select options are displayed OK (at the right place and the right scale).
