Alternate Title: Stop hitting s#!t with forklifts
I work in IT at a vaguely Med/Pharma related company. We have an IT department of 4. Currently, I'm the only one on-site while the other 3 are WFH because of the rona. We have 2 buildings with full warehouses/production areas. Most of the office staff (including me) are located at the one main building.
My first week, we got a request from someone who decided to save my number that she didn't think one of the printers was working. Of course, said printer is in the other building. It was nice out so I didn't mind walking the half mile over there. When I found the printer, the ethernet was unplugged from the back of it. I plugged it back in and verified with our SeniorIT guy that the IP was right and everything was working. Gucci.
A month later, a different user, FiredWareHouseGuy (He has another story later, between this story and his firing) sent in a ticket that the same printer wasn't working. I head over. This time it wasn't just unplugged, the RJ45 connector was totally destroyed. Guess who didn't plan ahead and came without any spare cables. I head back to the IT office and grab a replacement cable, go back to the printer. Huh. Weird. The printer itself actually doesn't allow for the clip to do anything. That might explain why it was unplugged the first time, and how it could've gotten broken this time. I tried both ends of the cable in both the wall and the printer to confirm this. The clips click into the wall, do nothing on the printer. What a stupid design.
A couple weeks later, FWHG puts in another ticket that it had been working before but wasn't now. At this point I'm irked and I tell SeniorIT that it was unplugged the last 2 times. He laughs and responds to FWHG's ticket to make sure it's plugged in. Crickets for a full day. Next day SeniorIT apologizes to me and asks if I can go over and check that it's plugged in. I go. It wasn't. I plugged it back in.
Not long later, another ticket from FWHG. Printer's not working. I'm ready to strangle someone. I head over there, veins full of fury, and find that the entire desk (desktop, monitor, printer) has been moved about 30 feet over to the next column in the warehouse. They plugged everything into the ethernet ports that had been installed by our network contractor. Those guys punched it into the patch panel but left it one step short of ac

I know we often have debates on who covers NASCAR on TV between FOX and NBC, but who do you believe covers the sport better on the radio side? MRN and PRN
MRN has such a long history of great announcers like Barney Hall, Ken Squier, Allen Bestwick, Joe Moore and Eli Gold. Jeff Striegle and Alex Hayden are both great announcers, and the rest of the staff don't disappoint.
PRN has a decent announcing team in Doug Rice and Mark Garrow but with the exception of Wendy Venturini and Alan Cavanna, (who was hired earlier this year), the team and overall broadcast just feels more generic to me.
Reading posts about NASCAR'S TV coverage has always made me wonder what people think about the radio coverage.
Arecibo is a project in development.
This is a Radio Signal Observation Network, you can add your observations, send your audio samples, which can then be analyzed (spectrogram, FFT), add comments.
Here are some screenshots :

I would like to have users to see if it runs properly, to have suggestions for improvement and especially the bugs encountered.
Hello, I recently bought a CR 6 se, and am wondering how to wirelessly print to it, as it was listed under the technical specifications, however I do not see any wifi settings, how can I set it up?
(If the printer does not have wifi functionality, would something like octo print work?)
Is it possible to run crypto's and Bitcoin on a "Ham Radio Network", incase the internet goes OFFLINE...
I do believe Ham Radio's are essential in an emergency or disaster situation when the normal infrastructure, electrical power, telephone service, cell service, internet, may fail... Ham Radio's have multiple antennas to reduce interference and improve transmission and reception of signals. For example,. There are 11 channels in 802.11b and g networks in the United States and Canada;. Channels typically have a bandwidth and the higher bandwidth, the greater the potential throughput... Ham Mesh data can be set to 5 MHz, 10 MHz, and 20 MHz..... This essentially can become a "Private Wifi" Network
A user recently informed me that one of our HP LaserJet Pro M404dn printers would no longer print (PC sending print jobs to a Windows print server).
I haven't tested the other printers yet but will today, to see what the exact scope of this problem is. We have about 25 network printers and I'm only aware of one being unable to print, so the print server is generally working as expected.
My initial thoughts are that the problem is lurking deep in our print server but I can't put my finger on it.
If a user prints from any Windows system to our print server (Windows 7 and Windows 10 both confirmed affected), the application sending the print job freezes and stops responding. Printing fails. Printing from Word causes Word to immediately freeze and need the Ctrl-Alt-Del treatment. If the print server is bypassed (e.g. TCP/IP or WSD printing), printing works instantly.
So the printer is fine. The workstations are fine. The problems only start when the print server is involved, and even then, only with one printer!
Our Macs are set up to print directly to our printers anyway, so none of our Mac users have any problems with printing to this printer at all - but that's not a Mac thing, it's a not-going-via-the-print-server thing.
The weirdest part?
Even though users cannot print to this printer via the print share on the server and Windows test prints from workstations all fail horribly as they rely on the server share working, if I log in to the print server and print a test page to the exact same print queue - it works normally. So the printer is allowing the server to print, it just won't allow other PCs to print via the print server.
Also, these PCs that can't print via the print server now could a few weeks ago, and nothing was changed. It broke spontaneously.
Things I've tried so far:
- factory resetting the printer
- deleting the share on the server and recreating it
- giving the printer a different IP address
- deleting the print share on the server, then recreating it with different drivers
Things I haven't tried yet:
- rebooting the print server. It's also our file server. Last reboot was about 80 days ago. Might do it first thing this morning, when no one's around.
Nothing I've tried works. The problem has now been happening for a week. I could give up on using our print server and start connecting users directly to this printer (and any other printers that may be affected) but I hate giving up on understanding problems

Well it's actually pretty easy to "hack" a printer. If it's networked you can just send bytes over port 9100 and it'll print them out as ASCII characters.
Actually last year my coworker nmap'd our workplace with the flag that enables port 9100 and the thing spat out 400 pages of random characters.
For legacy reason, printers are still being sold with this feature enabled. Back in the day, you could just pipe whatever data from your machine into a network socket that basically was your printer's 9100 port. It's an elegant way to print, in line with the unix mindset, but today it's kind of a security risk and useless feature especially if the printer isn't firewall'd to block 9100.
Anyways, I work in cybersec but my expertise is in C development. My GitHub profile is right here -> https://github.com/Chelsea486MHz
If you think we could enjoy working together, let's make a free, open source, user friendly software that anyone here could use to print those manifestos at their workplace. Something with a UI, just make it user friendly. Could even be on Android. Idk. Something you could put on a drive and run on your workplace's machine.

It may just be me... just this sure sounds a lot like what SafeMoon has discussed doing, but this gives a lot more details. Just curious what some of you guys think.
They are usually working in a hurricane but what about an EMP?
I know I'm dealing in the unknown but I'm thinking in terms of radio technology they might have in place that could be protected from an EMP to ensure a broadcasting station was still working after.

We had to update a driver for our Papercut virtual queue, which wreaked havoc post "print nightmare". Before you could print workstations would prompt for admin credentials to update the driver, caused a lot of headaches.
I could not get the GPO to work that is supposed to set the workstations to not require admin credentials for driver updates. Confirmed the GPO was applying, but users were still prompted.
Is there a better way to deploy printers now after the "print nightmare" fixes Microsoft has implemented?
