Re: printer sent a bunch of e-mails!
Brother MFC-L8850CDW multifunction LED. I'm going through and sending everyone, including the mailing lists, an apology letter, letting them know what happened and why.
When I was setting it up, I tried looking into why the printer wanted POP3 server information but the Help files and manuals didn't help a lot. The fact that that there's like 4 manuals for this printer make it a bit harder. Some stuff is in the user guide, some stuff is in the advanced user guide, some stuff is in the networking guide, etc.
One guy replied and said it was okay, he just deleted the messages and didn't mark them as spam. Hopefully I don't get booted from any of the mailing lists.Leave a comment:

printer sent a bunch of e-mails!
Hello,
I am so stupid. I was setting up my printer earlier to send a text message and an e-mail to my wife and me if something goes wrong. It had a section for pop3 server but I couldn't really understand why it needed that info. Anyway, I put in my mailserver's pop3 server and all of a sudden, the freaking printer starts printing e-mails! Old ones!!! And it wouldn't stop!
I couldn't figure out how to empty the queue. I pulled the paper, it'd stop until I put it back in. I unplugged it, I tried doing a factory reset (remotely) but it said it had to finish printing first. It was horrible! I couldn't find any cancel button, my wife's PC couldn't see anything in the queue. Finally, I changed my e-mail password and after a very long time, the queue emptied.
Anyway, I log into my e-mail before I go to bed and I see an e-mail from a person. I recognize the name, he belongs to a mailing list I belong too. His message is directly to me and it says why are you sending me these e-mails? I check my sent messages and sure enough, every freaking e-mail this printer downloaded, it sent a message to the original senders letting them know their message was successfully received by the printer.
This is horrible! I'm probably going to get kicked off the mailing lists and my mail account is probably going to get flagged as a spamming mailing list.
Just thought I'd share.

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... -
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.

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

Got something new. Recently I got trouble with receiving emails and syncing OneNote. Nothing else. I still can stream 24x7, VOIP, have full speed internet, but in the world cannot receive any emails nor sync OneNote. Take the computer somewhere else to a different internet location and no problems at all.
Points to the router, right? NOPE! 
Hooked up my computer directly to the modem (which is in bridge mode) and have the same problems! 
Put all the network shit back together, start my VPN provider app, choose the closed VPN server to me and all the problems are gone! 
Is...
