what is the printer? maybe we can add some informed options via you.

It's the one with the "PRINTER IS BROKEN" notice (written in blue marker pen on a sheet of A4) taped over the control panel

Have you tried another one

HTH

There's more printers to break?

Oh goody...

and when you've finished breaking printers, try something else ?

What about drawer units that have keys in them. How about snapping the keys in the locks ?

[NickFitz]

Just to add to the fun, when I went to delete the printer settings that seem to have caused the calamity, I discovered that the IT people had already configured said printer (presumably correctly) on my machine - but for some reason they'd labelled it with its IP address, rather than something sensible like "nth Floor Colour Printer" or (as it says on it in large letters) "London 77"

How they expect me to deduce that "10.73.12.14" means "the printer across the office from your desk" is beyond me

Could have done a traceroute I suppose, or maybe carried out a port scan... not sure how that would have helped, but at least I'd find out how well they've got the network locked down

So that was you was it?

I had to Black & Decker the lock to get my drawers open...

Not me

It was only a thought

I did that accidentally once at a client. On the basis that there wasn't anything of mine in the drawers, I kept quiet. When I left two months later, they still didn't know

If it was an accident why not own up Unless you ment it

I'd have thought that it would be obvious to anyone that 10.73.10.14 was a network printer...

But where is it located

We have DHCP assigned printers here
