  1. Hola Gabirel,muy interesentas las fotos, yo también quedé sorprendido, en su momento, de saber que las impresoras pueden hacer tantas cosas (además de trancar el papel), como las impresoras tienen su sistema operativo, y todas memoria, y están, generalmente, conectadas en red, hay gente que las utiliza para entrar a la red, almacenando un pequeño script en los 8 o 16k de memoria.Lo último de que me enteré fue que hackearon una cafetera, ya que esta, tiene, como no!, su conexión a internet, y entraron por ahí.Donde iremos a parar.Un saludo, Alfonso

  2. <>Alfonso<>, un gusto tenerte por aquí de vuelta! Es cierto lo que decís, hasta las cafeteras (y las máquinas de Coca cola) están conectadas a internet. En el caso de la impresora, no me costó mucho encontrar al 'culpable'. Digamos que fue la primera persona a la que fui a ver. Le pedí que le mandara un 'Dale Vélez' a la impresora, pero no anduvo... :-(

  4. <>A picture tells<>, this printer can indeed print duplex, but it doesn't have that kind of messages -or the one about spam.Somebody from the office found a way to change the messages the printer was displaying, so he spent the whole day playing with it. I asked him if he could put a message about my favourite soccer team, but it didn't work...
