if you're printing from linux, try emptying your local print spool by typing <code>lprm</code> | |||
also try the printer's web interface maybe | |||

== Getting More Toner == | |||
Bring the empty toner cartridge to [http://www.yelp.com/biz/cartridge-world-oakland Cartridge World] and they will give you a full one for $50ish. They reuse the cartridges. They've always had plenty of this model in stock. If you know of a cheaper alternative please edit this wiki. | |||
It's just down the road, 1.5 miles away. [https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Sudo+Room/Cartridge+World+Rockridge Directions] | |||
Make sure you bring just the cartridge and not the entire drum thing. Those are more expensive and breakable. | |||
== Duplex Mode == | |||
Duplex mode is when it prints on both sides of the page. You can turn this on/off at the web interface: http://192.168.42.12/user/prnset.html | |||
In duplex mode, I advise printing just one copy at a time. If you try to print multiple copies in one job, it might COLLATe utf8mb4_unicode_ci wrong. This just happened to me. I tried to print two copies, but each sheet had the same exact thing front & back. Very weird. | |||
== Network Fail == | |||
Sometimes the network settings get fucked up because someone factory reset it or something. You can print the current settings by pressing '''Go''' 3 times within 2 seconds. If it got factory reset, the IP address will probably be <code>169.254.32.12</code> so you can fix it by connecting your linux laptop directly by ethernet and then something like: | |||
sudo ip link set eth0 up | |||
sudo ip addr add 169.254.32.11/16 broadcast 169.254.32.255 dev eth0 | |||
Then visit the [http://169.254.32.12/printer/main.html settings page] in your browser. The default auth is: | |||
Username: admin | |||
Password: access | |||
=== Fixing the settings === | |||
Tell wifi to use sudomesh: | |||
* http://169.254.32.12/bio/wlan.html | |||
** Wireless Network Name (SSID): sudomesh | |||
Then change the wifi TCP/IP settings: | |||
* http://169.254.32.12/bio/tcpip2002.html?interface=2 | |||
** IP Address: 192.168.42.12 | |||
** Gateway: 192.168.42.1 | |||
Then make it use the wifi instead of ethernet: | |||
* http://169.254.32.12/bio/multiif.html | |||
** Auto Switching ( Enable Both Interfaces ) | |||
The printer will restart and the page won't reload. But now wifi should work. For some reason you can't have wifi + ethernet at the same time. | |||
