Work printer here prints gibberish for a line or two on 4 pages every single day.

A different building on site I snuck around out of boredom on a night shift with a different printer does the same, but it isn't corrupted. Misconfigured* SMTP server auto generated messages. The engineers just throw all the paper in the shredder.

I told IT about it a couple times. Nobody cares lol.

I'm pretty sure every printer on the LAN wastes 4 sheets of paper every day for years.

It's likely a driver issue.

We'll never know~

if it correlated with someone trying to print something it might be a driver issue. a single job every day on all printers is probably a network scan

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Ah, I misread it as every time they printed it spot out 4 pages of crap. A network scan makes more sense.

If it's leased no one will give a shit you'll get new ones in a couple years and the problem will have been solved with no additional man hours being spent
