"printer is not responding"

2018-07-09 Thread Joe Lowder
My printer (Brother HL2270DW has been working fine
wireless for a couple years, but today after printing
a document, and then sending another document to print,
it failed to print.

lpstat shows the document is still in queue.

I had made no settings changes, and I feel certain that
the printer itself has not failed. I have tried everything
suggested to trouble-shoot on internet sites, but I cannot
get it to go again.

This link shows what I see in System Settings:

-- http://upquick.com/temp/printer.jpg --

What can I do to get this running again?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

OT: Charging a Macbook in the woods

2018-07-09 Thread Victor Odhner
I researched power inverters, figuring that I can charge my Macbook while 
camping. It turns out, as far as I can tell from the user reviews, that the 
affordable inverters (even some less affordable) don’t satisfy a PC’s AC 
quality requirements. There are happy customers, but the reports of failure for 
PC use are about 20%. Someone even added a UPS to clean up the power including 
the frequency — so that’s DC to AC to Battery to clean AC.

My purpose is some evening entertainment for teens at a camp, miles off the 
grid. They have a generator there, but I hesitate to trust it with my PC.

Some newer PCs charge on 5v, but I can’t afford newer.

My wife has a tablet (Sansung SM-T530NU Nook) that can be charged in my truck. 
But it rejects every attempt to load from the Macbook via USB cable or 
BlueTooth — the devices see each other, but can’t quite get a connection.
Only remaining possibility seems to be a micro SD chip.

Maybe the elements are conspiring to focus me on my 12-string guitar, and “the 
elements” have also watered the forest so we’ll probably get to light a fire. 
But the kids do get itchy being dragged away from their current tracks.

Have you tried going to http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/ and then clicking 
on the printer name.  I usually find that it will tell me exactly what 
is happening with the printer or the connection to the printer.
