Re: [vox-tech] Neighbor's printers

2012-04-23 Thread Richard Harke 
We don't get along that well so the BBQ is out of the question. After my
earlier post, I checked WICD and it showed two
networks besides mine. One was secured with WPA2 but the other was open. I
was working from my laptop.
I was rather surprised that these printers would show up without an
installation process.

They aren't secure.

Hey...why don't you print something on theirs and see if it works!  Be a nifty 
way to invite your neighbors over for a bbq.

  This morning when I went to print something, the print menu showed two extra 
printers that apparently belong to a neighbor. Since my wi-fi is secured with 
WPA2, if even if the neighbors isn't, how is this possible?

When trying to print, what are you using? A desktop or a laptop?
And is there a WiFi card on the item (laptop?).

If so you are receiving the info directly to your laptop without
it going through your router.

The neighbour's probably aren't.   Wireless security is generally set up 
against inbound traffic, not outbound.  You probably don't want the 
latter.  Those printers are broadcasting their availability, so your 
system makes them available to you.
