      while i've got you here, who now makes good office printers? Print runs of 5-20 pages, duplexing, colour, networked.

      HP & Canon used to be the bees knees, Kyocera seem reliable, but I'm not a fan, Lexmark are .. Oki, don't really know.

      I have two HPs; One laser that does duplex and single-sided scan copy, and an ink jet that does duplex copy print.

      Both are great devices uncover cover my printing needs, especially since I do more scanning than anything.

        Any idea what happened? Couldn't get to Mangolassi this AM

        NodeBB itself crashed.

        Whoops, rare is it not?

          We moved to 100% Canons (MF525dw - desktop AIO, C5550 - floor AIO, ICLBP312DN - desktop print only)

          They have been great overall - very little downtime in the 2 years we've had them.

          Only complaint I have is the ADF (automatic document feeder) on the MF525dw doesn't hold it's position great. Tightening the screws on it seems to make it better for a while.

          We looked at Ricoh and Kyocera, and Canon just crushed them on price, more than 10% savings over the life of the contract.
          We did a 5 year lease, including maintenance and toner. Management made me push my pre-paid page count be a little lower than our previous 2 years showed we were using to ensure we didn't overpay... so instead we pay a slightly higher fee for that - but that would have happened regardless of vendor.

            I have to deal with a FRS to DFRS update for a 2012 to 2019 server migration, ugh, so much wasted time.

                  Interesting, We get tiered pricing with Kyocera and that blew the competition away. Canon, at least with the local agents, couldn't compete. The TCO over 5 years was significantly better with Kyocera.
                  Mind you we don't pre-pay prints, it's per-click cost (copies & scans are included too), so our monthly costs are variable BUT we're still saving a lot compared to the old copiers we replaced.

                    Interesting. The click rate is based on the prepaid amount. I looked at our yearly over the last two years, then we went like 10% less then that for our included cost. It's baked into the monthly cost, then yearly we get a difference bill, so calling it prepaid - not really, it's monthly paid.

                            Debating if I should create an account to share 3D Prints. Created a very simple key that opens paper towel dispensers. Not like it was difficult or really that much of a challenge.

                            Also looking at employments sites- trying to compile a good list for a co-worker and - well why not- myself if needed.

                              No snow here. Yesterday was clear and sunny with 20mph+ winds all day.

                                I really don't think we need 60+ Power cables 🙂 since everything new has them.

                                    Just setup a wireshark packet capture for a phone. There is a Sonicwall for a firewall here, so I'm blaming that even tho we don't know why it's having intermittent issues yet.

                                      Remembering that Netplan is the default tool for configuring networks rather than NetworkManager on Ubuntu server.

                                          Ha! I need to use Ubuntu more often and remember some of the little gotchas like this. I'm finally somewhat familiar with using nmcli without a reference for basic stuff, and it came as a small shock to see it not available by default on Ubuntu 20.10.

                                            Just out of interest what are most of america's different states and Canada using in regards to internet connections? Over here in the UK we are mostly FTC now, which is copper from the property to the street cabinet then fibre to the exchange. We are still limited by distance to the cabinet in regards to what speeds we get. We also still have ADSL available, but most are not using that these days. My speed for example is now 56/10. At my old address I was right next to the cabinet and would get 70/20. Just curious if you are mostly FTTP over there.
