I printed someone a nice warning that his printer was accessible from the internet. And I changed the LCD of another printer. Does anyone remember that HP LCD thread 1 or 2 years back?
[QUOTE=Strider_07;18544799]You are aware that by printing a link to this page all they have to do is look for who confessed to doing it and they know who to get pissy at.[/QUOTE]
Because people with unsecured printers are very technologically savvy.

It is still possible that you might bump into someone who is tech savvy.
I know it's a necrobump but this has potential
Just set the admin password for an MIT printer
[editline]1st December 2011[/editline]
Sent them the password and an alt email to which they can respond, checked the panel, it apparently printed.
Found a georgia state university printer, I'll send them a friendly reminder to change their cyan ink cartridge and securing their printer a wee bit.
Aw yeah this brings back memories
[QUOTE=BldrGyMnGy;18470659]Hope your proxies work, and sorry to White Knight, but that is a lot of wasted ink and lost cash for the business / owners.
If your proxies don't work, they wont have to worry about money.[/QUOTE]
Fuck I was such a killjoy 2 years ago.
I managed to find a working page and tried to print some random pdf file I found, but I got an error every time. "Document failed to print". Then I checked what file I was trying to print.
It was my own CV
Nopenopenopenope! :suicide:
Would be funny if it printed and they called you to offer you work
i dont regret any of my posts
ahaha I found one in Holland, it's like 10 km away from me.
Time to roll.
[editline]1st December 2011[/editline]
oh wow it's almost exactly 10 km away from me, google earth says.

where can I see if it got printed
I can't seem to get this to work.
[QUOTE=TurtlePower;18471472]But then again, why have they left their printers so open to access by anyone?[/QUOTE]
If there's one from Harvard, it's likely the one for students. It makes sense to have a public printer at a college.
I'm going to send a scan of my ass to one of the unused ones with the words GUESS WHO on it. They'll think it was a coworker

Doesn't make much sense to have it unsecured and ready to print documents from anywhere in the world though
Can you guys print out a note that says 'I don't want to live in this world anymore' and then disable all of the printers features? Either that or a full colour manual for said printer, because they clearly need to read it.

Most of the printers' control panels are protected.
Wait a minute, this explains what happened in 2009...
Depending on the age and type of printer, you might get some interesting results if you sent an older laser printer/copier a fully black page. Front and back if you can. The older ones get so hot when they do that that the paper bursts into flames when it hits the drop tray.
how does one change names of printers. I already game across GLaDoS once, complete with apeture labratories and Cave Johnson :v:
Aw shit that is too funny how did I miss this thread?

You need access to the admin console, so either the IT dept has a sense of humor or someone beat you to it.

would be a pretty big dick move.

Threads like this are the reason I love facepunch :)
The newer models have more efficient heat application and dissipation, probably because they didn't like flaming print jobs, so this doesn't happen as much any more.
Additionally, if these are fax machines we're dealing with... get an older one that doesn't scan as fast, and on a lengthy piece of paper write out
[I]This is the fax that never ends... it goes on and on my friends...[/I]
and as you're scanning it, grab the end of it and tape it to the top so it loops. It'll now constantly fax until the connection is either severed or they run out of paper.
Someone print out all satanic stuff like pentagrams and pages covered in '666' and shit

Let's start printing black holes errywhere !
Finding this quite fun. Also, as stupid as it is, some of the control panels ask for a username and password.
Its "admin" and "password"
fail!
