BullZip PDF Printer failing with error 429

March 24th, 2011 No comments

You might encounter an error when trying to print to BullZip PDF Printer:

Run-time error '429':
Error creating object: Bullzip.Dictionary

This happens when the bzdct.dll file is not properly registered which can be quite easy to fix.

Try a simple:
regsvr32 bzdct.dll

If you get an ok message everything is peachy and you should be able to print properly.

However, it has happened that due to permission problems the file isn’t being registered properly (which is why I didn’t work in the first place) and you get an error message to that effect. In that case you need to reset the Windows permissions on the relevant files. You can either to it manually as shown below or use the script found on github.com.

Windows XP
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose

Windows 7
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose

Firefox and incorrectly named plugins

September 9th, 2009 No comments

As it turns out, firefox on linux will only load plugins if they are named something.so. Hit this error when trying to use the latest 64 bit plugin (10.0.0.18.32) and wanted to keep the older version around with some symlink magic. Basically I had the following files:

libflashplayer.so.10.0.0.22
libflashplayer.so.10.0.0.32
libflashplayer.so -> libflashplayer.so.10.0.0.32

And firefox refused to use the plugins while both konqueror and chromium had no problems with them. Renaming the files (and symlink accordingly) to libflashplayer-10.0.0.32.so did the trick.
