Default Does everyone else see this or am I in the Twilight Zone?

Just recently my printer stopped working. It works fine for most functions but there is a particular program I use for my business that it will not work with now. This all came up out of the blue. Now I see a post on here about printers not working and to me looks like a scam?
All too bizarr

Just tried mine - HP Laser Jet MP 426...- working fine. Probably a scam to get passwords etc so they can "fix the problem"

Now theres a post in the body shop section that looks like a scam! It looks like the one regarding printers in the lobby is gone, think someone needs to check into the credentials of new users better

There were several spammers today but they've been deleted. This board actually gets very few of them, several other boards I participate in get multiple spammers every day.

If you see one, don't respond - just report them, and the moderators will take care of it.

Thanks Stuart, and the rest of the board and moderators. I had been having major printer problems and was talking with some guys on anther board about it, then I came on here and saw a post about printer problems! Just way too weird.

I have had wireless printer connectivity issues and near-dial up modem upload/download speeds with Comcast Broadband since the whole shelter-in-place started. I can hardly watch a YouTube vid without stoppages while buffering. Too many users, not enough bandwidth I guess. I don't get how my private wireless network printer is affected though. I get printer buffering and skipped/partially printed lines like crazy ever since this started. Yes, ink cartridges are near new.
