I still print (relevant parts of) code. Have been for a long time. Will keep doing it.

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/02/24

Edit 20260622: added Nitter¹ links, queries, the TEX map, LISTSERV dump and 1987+1988 lists of USENET nodes (some bit BITNET, others via UUCP).

In a response to [WayBack/Archive] Iris Classon on Twitter: “I’m curious, how many of you guys and gals have printed out code on paper to read later? Doing it during earlier years also counts 🤓”, I started the long read below starting with [WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers on Twitter: “Still do.… “ or [Wayback/Archive] Iris Classon | Author & programmer (@IrisClasson): “I’m curious, how many of you guys and gals have printed out code on paper to read later? Doing it during earlier years also counts 🤓” | nitter.

The reactions show quite a bit of history (:

Basically my response was a more in depth coverage of my 2017 post Happy 60th birthday, Fortran.

Google Chrome URL chrome://devices/ -> your registered Google Cloud devices like printers

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/01/18

Just learned a new Google Chrome URL chrome://devices/ which lists your Google Cloud devices like printers.

Though in the case of OKI printers, you have to enter your printers at the printer which the Menu button is a painful exercise. [WayBack] oki-c332dn-control-panel_maxwidth.jpg (525×550).

You can also view the device list in https://www.google.com/cloudprint#printers

For some OKI printers (including the MC342 series) you need to update the firmware. For a Mac, you need the below firmware update tool that automagically:

  1. detects the printers
  2. finds the firmware on the internet
  3. updates the printer

Tool: [WayBack] FWUP_020000_10.7.dmg via [WayBack] Firmware Update | OKI Global

OKI C332/MC342 – reset (short) device name, location, asset number and contact name

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/01/08

I’ve found out that the only way to reset the below fields on an OKI printer is to

  1. go to the printer main page at http://192.168.124.34 (use the IP address of your own printer here)
  2. logon as Administrator (on an OKI C332 that’s user admin which has default password 999999, on an OKI MC342 the password is aaaaaa)
  3. go to the page http://192.168.124.34/setupfrm.htm (use the IP address of your own printer here) as that page can potentially be skipped during login
  4. update these fields:
    • Device Name
    • Short Device Name
    • Asset Number
    • Contact Name – Administrator

I need to dig into IPP / driverless printer confuguration

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/09/07

It looks like I need to learn about IPP and driverless based on [WayBack] TIL that your Linux desktop can probably use your somewhat recently made printer, efficiently, with all major features exposed, without needing to download a ton of vendor shitware, without needing to find a PPD file in the depths of hell, without needing to pay extra for explicit PostScript 3 support, and without needing to accept that it will do 0.2 instead of 20 pages per minute because the in-printer PostScript rasterizer runs on a Z80…. – Maik Zumstrull – Google+.

So here are some links:

When adding my printer in the Chrome tool, it can properly detect it:

OKI MC342

MC342dn | Drivers & software | OKI UK | Printers & Managed Print Services

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/06/08

For my link archive, to get firmware updates installed on my OKI MC342 printer (Mac update fails, Windows update fails, both with “Firmware update failed.”):

download support printer drivers and software utilities for your OKI printers

Source: MC342dn | Drivers & software | OKI UK | Printers & Managed Print Services

[Oki Data] The Firmware Update Utility is used to upload new firmware files to your printer.

Source: Firmware Update | OKI Global

I needed a firmware update because enabling Google Cloud Printing failed.

Source: Cloud Printing | OKI Europe Ltd – Printers, Printing Solutions and Managed Print Services

The reason was error 10a00013 which according to the Cloud Print Manual is “Connection error to the HTTP server (server authentication error). Access the website stored in the Oki Data device (http://(Oki Data device IP address)), and check the imported CA license. Alternatively, update the firmware.”

As the web page didn’t tell me about how to imported CA licenses, I have to update the firmware.

5 Alternatives to Keeping a Fax Machine

Posted by jpluimers on 2010/01/14

Like Thursday Bram, I can’t remember the last time I sent a FAX.
I still have a FAX: it is a multifunctional HP Color LaserJet 2840.
It was one of my biggest mistakes, see at the end of this blog article why.

Back to faxing: unlike Thursday, I live in The Netherlands, so I’ll explain how my FAX stuff works. Read the rest of this entry »
