HP LJ 1015 was a hell of a printer back in the day. Bullet proof little guy. Must have had 200K+ pages go through it per year. All original parts (aside from toner) for the 7 years it was in production.

Hrm I don't agree with the printers only useful for scanners thing. Printers are not good scanners. Good scanners are good scanners. Specifically, the Fujitsu ScanSnap series, which as someone who scans 99% of their paper documents and then shreds them, are a loving godsend for easily scanning poo poo (especially with the presets for splitting to multiple pages, scanning simplex or duplex / BW / color so I can take a shitload of simplex black and white one-page receipts like grocery store receipts, set them all into the scanner, and have it spit out individual PDFs for each one). Of course some would argue why bother to scan any of that poo poo, but on the other hand, shut up.

There is no such thing as a good scanner either. Only bad and less bad. TWAIN drivers are often worse than printers. Evil lies everywhere paper and computers interact, especially if some rear end in a top hat has decided to involve a modem as well and make a fax machine out of it.

The best scanner is one that dumps a PDF onto a network share and talks a modern version of SMB, supports DFS etc.

Yeah I never said it was a product that existed  . The amount of stuff released in 2015 that won't do anything other than SMB1 is amazing.

I’ve long since stopped being surprised at how many businesses still live and die by their damned FAX machines. The worst though is when they have the fax line running through their PBX or over a SIP trunk just to add layers of things which could go wrong.

The worst though is when they have the fax line running through their PBX or over a SIP trunk just to add layers of things which could go wrong. Oh trust me, I know. My day job is with a MSP that does VoIP for small-medium businesses and any time someone calls about a fax issue I die a bit inside. I have said many times that I'd give all my worldly possessions to someone who managed to develop a self-replicating fax worm that could just destroy every fax machine in the world. Obviously that's unfortunately technically impossible, but a man can dream can't he? I'd be penniless but more at peace than Buddha to know I'd never have to hear about that poo poo again. The only way it's going to change is if the regulatory world finally admits that faxes are not secure in the slightest, rather than their current legal fiction that pretends an analog telephone line is perfectly private. The medical and legal industries in particular love faxes because they're nonsensically treated as secure so they're less effort than actually doing it right. edit: If I put on my company logo hat and shirt, clip my lineman's handset to my belt, and carry a clipboard I can get in to pretty much any telephone room in the English-speaking world. From there it'd take me about 45 seconds to hook up some off the shelf hardware and be able to intercept faxes to my laptop in real time, even modifying them if I put it on a bit of a delay. Even the simplest forms of encrypted email are orders of magnitude more secure than that. wolrah fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Feb 8, 2019 |

Our new wifi pre shared key is WPA2 personal and it is 63 characters long with every possible special character category turned on. And it's time to migrate the iPod touches that the custodial staff use. No we don't have mobile device management, what kind of large regional hospital owned by a nationwide conglomerate do you think we are?

And it's time to migrate the iPod touches that the custodial staff use. iOS native camera app has supported these since iOS 11, if they're older then there are a few other QR code apps that understand the wifi code format. This allowed me to finally go max password on my guest WiFi at home because anyone can just point their phone at the code and be online in a few seconds.

If they’re on the right version of IOS you can generate a QR code that the camera app will read and create the WiFi profile. E;f;b

A feature(?) of WiFi QR codes in iOS is that it will shove the connection into your keychain even if it couldn’t connect. I was testing the codes out away from the site that the SSID was for, pointed my phone at my monitor to test it got picked up correctly, tapped the button to join and then got an error because I wasn’t in range of the network. Went to the site a few weeks later and my phone connected to the network, which took me a while to figure out.

No, mine is based out of Tennessee and likes to demand policy changes without providing us the support we need to actually affect those changes.

Law firms are the worst for faxing, especially law firms in rural areas with clients like rail roads and poo poo. Troubleshooting an aging fax on a fully digital phone system is still one of my nightmares. They're also one of the few industries where WordPerfect is still a thing (at least it was circa 2010-2011), but are probably too cheap to buy licenses for every employee on the law-dog side, meaning have fun being the on demand WordPerfect conversion bitch any time documents come in!

In this day and age a digital phone system should be at least as reliable for faxing as the 1987-era digital phone system most fax machines were designed to run over.

I can see it at larger shops. For instance I’ve only ever dealt with infrastructure, when it came to *individual* clients (deployment, troubleshooting, support)... never touch them. Only AP, Controllers, and the wired infrastructure to support the APs.

I had our old WiFi passphrases memorized, so it wasn't a problem. But we have too much weird healthcare poo poo on our WiFi to use WPA2-enterprise, I suppose, so we gotta resort to this 63-character bullshit for now.

I'm just going to throw this out there in case anyone has any ideas, but we've recently moved from HP Zbook G4s to Zbook G5s and it has been a complete clusterfuck that I cannot figure out. Our 1803 image behaves completely normally until the first time it's disconnected from the USB docks we use - at which point the WiFi hardware drops out like every five seconds - not just drops off WiFi, but the whole list of WiFi networks will disappear and a red X appears on it. This behaviour is then permanent. After multiple rebuilds in various ways, installing all the latest drivers, the only things that seem to resolve it are installing the HP Software Assistant, which - even without being launched - will prevent the WiFi device from dropping off until the next reboot, at which point it goes back to constant drops. I've got three of these things behaving in the exact same manner, and the only thing I can think of is that either they all got dropped in the same manner during shipping, or HP is booby-trapping these things to prevent imaging. It's driving me nuts.

I don’t have any answers for you but I have the same model zbooks and they work fine with my 1809 image but we use the old school side docks. We’ve had nothing but issues with usb docks so we got rid of them all. Are there any firmware updates for the docks?
