    This aint' healthy at all

    I had to pull my laser printer after a very nasty paper jam and this involves unpluggung the printer.
    I blindly reach around and find the door covering the printer cable.
    First of all I break the hinges off the door.
    After searching for the clips holding the parallel cable (power is off but it's cord is still in place) I give it a good yank and pull the cord halfway out. In a split second my index finger falls in the space between the half-removed connector and i get a rather nasty jolt! I spend a few minuets in the corner (I get unber nervous after a good one) and go back to the pull but before so I pull the power cord and I don't get another shock. I checked over the system at least two times and I can't find any shorted spots. Is there some high voltage flowing through those cables that I am not aware of? the server is fine and never acted up so it isn't feeling the high voltage (i think).
    Find Nedry!

    Anycubic Photon 5.5 3D printer 25Q32 flashrom dump needed
    by re-atari
    Hello all, as the title says, I'm very much in need of a valid firmware dump of a Anycubic Photon 5.5 3D resin printer. It's stored in a Winbond 25Q32, so it's 4Mbyte.

    Here's a little background for my request. A few weeks ago I bought this 3D printer from a guy who had moved on to a PLA printer. I got it at a vey reasonable price, as it was in a defective state. The seller told me that he had experienced a power failure during a firmware upgrade, after which the printer appeared to be dead. He thought the firmware was corrupted in such a way that the printer was now bricked. As he...

    Brother HL-2140 laser printer: printer error (solved)
    by Curious808
    SOLVED. I removed the printer in settings, replugged and let it reinstall and it worked this time.

    Brother HL-2140 laser printer
    Windows 10

    Attempt to print and immediately get a Windows pop-up saying "Error printing". The document appears in the printer queue window with Status "Error-printing".

    Turned off printer. Unplugged, waited, replugged. Ran the Windows troubleshooter. Removed and reinserted toner cartridge. Checked for paper jam. No printer error lights. Reinstalled driver. Restarted the Spooler service. Rebooted...

    HP officeJet 8012e ... A printer update will be installed to fix this problem
    by Artefil
    Hi,
    One of the partner I'm mostly working with, brought his Officejet 8012e, facing a problem I'm failing finding a solution.
    On the Officejet 8012e, there's only one USB connector on the back, for connecting the printer to a computer.
    The screen displays the following message :
    "a problem has occured with one of the printer's critical system files. A printer update will be installed to fix this problem"
    But even if the printer is connected through wifi to the network, nothings happen, and the printer stays idle for days.

    Have you ever...

    Need dump for 58mm Thermal Printer
    by прямо
    Hi all,

    a friend gave me this printer because it's no longer working.

    It powers on, but won't do a self-test print and when connected via USB to Windows, Device Manager says No Printer Attached under USB Hubs tree.

    The red light doesn't blink either with no paper inside.

    I think the firmware maybe corrupted. If someone has a similar printer and can provide a firmware dump, I really appreciate it.

    Printer model: Panda PRJ-58U
    Flash memory: Boyamicro BY25D16ASSIG

    DIY 3D-Printer WSON8 Pogo Pin Adapter
    by langbaobao
    Hi.

    I'm posting this here in part as a memo to self as well as to describe the procedure I used in case anyone else found it useful. I found a lot of the necessary information to make this work on this forum and I figured I would give something back. If this is not the appropriate place to post this, I don't mind it being deleted but I hope it can help other people.

    I got an admin password locked HP Elitebook 840 G5 recently that I wanted to unlock. I'm a relative newcomer to reprogramming and unlocking firmware. The only previous experience I had was unlocking a BIOS...
