Unfortunately they probably did it on purpose.

Just like the many open rdp connections there are around.

  Check out this cool website I found:

  I found it when searching for an error code from one of our HP printers.

  BTW: Don't ever buy an HP M2727nf.

  Many moons ago, I had a client who had a main office and a branch
office, with a half dozen or so PCs at each.  Server at the main
office.  Server was NT 4, clients were Win 98.  Their method of
connecting the two?  All computers were on the public Internet.  You
simply connected to

\\%PUBLIC_IP_OF_SERVER%\shared\

and there you go.  Who needs a VPN or a firewall?

  I couldn't convince the owner there was anything wrong with that,
even after all PCs were taken down by some kind of malware.  For the
second time.

  They're not in business anymore.  Shocking, eh?

Well, "many moons ago", instead of providing FTP, you could map Microsoft's 
file share servers from the public internet.

Let's just say that the "environment" has changed since then.

RE: [HUMOR] Someone misconfigured something somewhere, I think

[Mike Hoffman]

Just out of interest we've spent the last week playing with  codes on a 
printer. We have a client running a vet practice using a dos based invoicing 
system. He is now unable to get dot-matrix printers to work so we put in an HP 
LJ1200, but the page width is too wide.

I know that putting the codes in a .txt file and then piping that to the 
printer in the autoexec will set the printer for the session, but I'm going 
round in circles.

Does anyone here know if this sounds like a font, line size, cpi, or other 
issue with a single  command to sort it?

I really had thought I'd seen my last dos box ever!!

RE: [HUMOR] Someone misconfigured something somewhere, I think

[Terry Dickson]

Well it depends on what you want, I would suggest you set it to Line printer 
font, at 16.67CPI but then I am running off memory, I could probably find an HP 
book around here somewhere to look it up for you if you need me to.  However 
what you really need to do is set the Default Font, because if they print 
anything else from Windows some programs automatically reset the printer after 
print.  Thus setting it back to the default font and cpi.  The higher end HP's 
are much easier to set as you can do that all from the printer in setting the 
default font and CPI.

 Yup.

 I think the printer may have crashed due to all the people on this
list trying to load the management UI.  :-)

Wow, then why did the dot-matrix quit working ?  That’s weird !  If the LPT
ports work for the laser, then driver problems within the software app ?

Have you tried using the NET USE command to capture the LPT output to the
installed matrix printer within the DOS session?

Just out of interest we’ve spent the last week playing with  codes on a
printer. We have a client running a vet practice using a dos based invoicing
system. He is now unable to get dot-matrix printers to work so we put in an
HP LJ1200, but the page width is too wide.

 

I know that putting the codes in a .txt file and then piping that to the
printer in the autoexec will set the printer for the session, but I’m going
round in circles. 

 

Does anyone here know if this sounds like a font, line size, cpi, or other
issue with a single  command to sort it?

 

I really had thought I’d seen my last dos box ever!!

Hey, if you need a wide-carriage printer, I have an older Epson I would be
glad to sell you. :)

Also Okidata still sells Dot Matrix printers that work either USB or Parallel.  
I have some older Okidata Printers still in use in our office.  The stock we 
have to print on can’t be run through a Laser so we have to keep them around.
