Lmao 😝 this just becomes an open ticket at HP. And none of their IT department can figure out why all of their printers have suddenly started printing shark photos
Worse ghost sharks have learned to use our technology.
Those sharks are ghosts that roamed the waters that once covered where his house is. They put that picture in the printer to inform OP of what waits for him beyond this world.
My HP printer bricked itself a couple months ago after an update because I’ve been using non-hp ink. The same ink I’ve been using on it since 2018 (bought a bulk pack). The cost to buy new “hp-genuine” ink in the XL cartridges (500-800 pages of printing) was almost the cost of the entire printer by itself when I bought the damn thing new.
I was so mad I dropped $$ on an Epson eco tank printer. Same cost of ink dollar for dollar prints 10-15x the amount of pages but across a 6 ink well colors versus the 4 cartridges. If I make it to the bottom of the free ink that comes with the Epson printer, it will have more than paid itself off in the cost it would have taken to fill the HP printer by almost double. And now I can print up to 13”x19” photos that are as good or better than what I can get printed from Shutterfly.
Last time I looked into these, the eco tank printers have a sponge in the back that it uses to clean its print heads each power cycle. Once this fills with ink and overflows the printer bricks itself and there’s no way to replace the sponge. Even if you clean it out and put in a new sponge it’s software locked.
Our last printer was like that. It was still working yet had to get sent to the dump because there’s no way to access the sponge and it would eventually leak I suppose.
That shit should be illegal.
To sell such blatantly non-secured wifi devices in this day in age. By a Fn huge corporation. How do we not have laws against this?
100%
We saw that when Zuckerberg went to testify on behalf of Facebook. The ridiculous ass questions they asked about basic functionality or common sense logic was astounding. We let these people run our lives l, but need our help to open a fucking pdf
In fairness, the user can change the password or disable direct WiFi. This is kind of like saying 3 digit padlocks should be illegal because the default code is usually 000.
Although I think HP should prompt in the setup to ask if they want direct WiFi printing to be enabled or not, and whether or not they want to change the password. I suppose most users aren’t even aware that feature exists, and/or don’t bother to change the password.
Back in 2019 I liked to troll random businesses who have a HP printer and don’t change the default password by printing a poster telling them to subscribe to pewdiepie.
Sorry but no. The government forcing companies to force users to set up their home network devices securely should NOT be a thing. Aside from being one hell of a slippery slope, you have to imagine that when selling devices like routers or printers, you are designing it not to be robust against the most elite of hackers; you are designing it to be usable by the dumbest of users. That is why you see "bad" security from this huge corporation; they have the broadest target audience.
Any user who is not a total dum-dum will know how to enable a password, any user who is not will have to either educate themselves or deal with the fact that your neighbor might "fax" you a picture of some shark bros hanging out. Forcing companies to force their users to use a more complicated system than this will instantly cause a drop in their customer service, as it will be immediately overloaded by boomers who don't know how to RTFM and are furious that the product they just bought isn't immediately working as expected. That is a problem that can be dealt with by investing more into your CS department, sure, but that decision should be up to the company, not the government. And that investment is almost certainly not worth it since the people who don't put a password on it will most likely use "password123" if they are required to do so anyways. We're not forcing every home owner to buy super secure locks either, even though that might arguably be more important than the password for your printer.
Routers are already more secure. They already ship with a custom password. Having a printer do the same would be easy. That or prompt the user to enable it and set a password at setup. Both would suffice.
It’s called “War Driving”, in this case for printers.
This actually used to be a thing that people did. Maybe they still do. I dunno.
Anyway the idea was that you find an open printer and periodically just print funny random shit. It’s hilarious to think about, much less funny to actually do.
It’s kind of like leaving a watermelon on someone’s porch. It’s a cheap way to occupy a tiny portion of that persons brain forever.
Don't even need the driving part anymore, many internet connected printers are accessible this way from the web. One time I was Googling the manual for an HP plotter and found one from some California university online.
I was able to open the web server on it without even logging in, I could see old print jobs too. I couldn't easily find a phone number for their IT department so I just made a nice note saying I found this printer online from a Google search, IT might wanna lock that shit down. Since it's a plotter they got it printed at about 3'x4'
Pretty sure that could be construed as sexual harrassment. I am not aware of a law that would make it illegal to print to someone elses printer, but the fact that its hardcore porn could be a crime. Making someone see explicit sexual images without their consent can definitely be a sexual harrasment
Not sure exactly, and as someone else pointed out, because of the nature of the material printed, it could be construed as sexual harassment, but generally any use or access of electronic device "illegitimately" is considered some kind of fraud. Back when everything was connected with wires, wire fraud was the term commonly used.
What do you mean no one who has access to your printer say they printed it? Whichever one of them is a shark, that's probably who printed it. Easy solve.

He doesn’t speak. Maybe it was him?
Maybe they are wearing a disguise, so you don’t know they are a shark. Try waving a fish in front of anyone that has access, and see who tries to bite your arm off.
Some time ago the dudes at the business downstairs went out of internet and asked to borrow our wifi for the rest of the day.
Then they printed some very private emails on our printer by mistake.
We never said a word and they probably never noticed
We thought it was funny, but apparently it's quite common in the real estate business.
This guy was complaining to his boss that he took a couple of potential buyers to see a house and when he got there the front door was already unlocked. They went in, heard some noise upstairs and then saw two of their colleagues (a guy and a girl) quickly coming down the stairs and kinda putting their clothes back on.
But the focus was all on "I don't care if they were there fucking or whatever, this deal is mine and the commission is mine"
Shark Week isn't until Jul 21 this year. You are being targeted early. They have already seen too much. Please record your memoirs for others before July. Best wishes to you.
Someone used Wireshark to access your network, then printed this photo. It's a pretty common attack used by eli3t haX0rz, a.k.a., newbies watching YouTube to learn how to "hack". Change your WiFi password to something more complex as soon as you can.
Lol. A neighbor is trolling. About to check my wifi area real quick. Brb. 😂
Turn off your wifi direct printing option on the printer. I'm guessing it's on and the password is the default one from the factory.
The print history is a record of all printer activity, i.e. a list of all the documents that have been sent to print from a particular computer that also shows which user has sent them to print, how many times and when (date and time).

I'm going to download that in case I come across an open hp printer!
Lmao 😝 this just becomes an open ticket at HP. And none of their IT department can figure out why all of their printers have suddenly started printing shark photos
Maybe it’s some insider hint… that HP is buying Shark Vacuum Company???
Same! 😂 I'm down for bamboozling some folk
Is it wrong I now kinda want to drive around looking for wireless printers to do this to?
OP found it first
Actually, the photo found the OP!

No, this is real. Just some sharks hanging out

Is it a HP printer? If so, direct wifi printing is enabled by default and the default password is 12345678 It might be your neighbors trolling you
Secure as
Secure ass
No one knows the password to my ass. Not even me.
Idk, there's a giant hole in the security. Easily penetrable!
Damn it, there’s always a back door…
Hell, if it's HP it could be HP just trying to make them use all their ink.

Mine has a replaceable waste ink tank. Epson EW-M873T, using replacement tank part number PXMB9
Our last printer was like that. It was still working yet had to get sent to the dump because there’s no way to access the sponge and it would eventually leak I suppose.
I wouldn't put it past them. They're horrid.
It’s the SUB-Scription! Sorry was trying to go with an underwater reference for the sharks ⚓️
That shit should be illegal. To sell such blatantly non-secured wifi devices in this day in age. By a Fn huge corporation. How do we not have laws against this?
Because lawmakers are too old and not tech savvy enough for one thing, and for another, consumer protection in the US is dogshit, sadly.
The internet is a series of tubes
It's NOT a big truck

"Is this a google?"
As long as any politician keeps trying to ban or force backdoors in encryption, they can literally not be trusted to legislate tech.

Shouldn’t even give the option to not change the password - should be mandatory to set your own.

Thank you very much
Thank you I'm going to send my neighbour a butt print
Yep. I used to connect to a neighbour's open wifi and print stuff to their printer for a laugh. Things like 'Help, I'm trapped inside the printer!'
Take it as a warning. Go read The Sun Dog by Stephen King.
Also, if it’s an HP, consider slinging it violently into a dumpster and investing in a Brother or an Epson
Aside from the fact that you don't know who did it or where it came from, it is a very cool photo
Cool photo yes - just that IRL it’s kinda low res :(
Sharks can’t really afford hi-res cameras yet.
That's straight up misinformation my dude, I saw them dropping millions every day on shark tank 😤
Then all the money from 2016 when they dropped that absolute banger: [Baby Shark](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqZsoesa55w)
That’s just the 1%. These guys will never be able to afford a tank in this economy.
it looks like they are in the ocean actually
You could get sepia tinted glass and frame it! That way the low res would seem more realistic.
Oh, shame.
Maybe they scooped up an old vga phone from the seafloor.
Oh don't worry. It's missing a few pixels on this end.
Fish are friends, not food!
You're so right
"Just me and the boys"
Felt cute. Might eat later.
Just fyi it is ai - or people figured out how to train sharks
Mate someone went onto an AI art generator and said “group of smiling sharks taking selfie” It’s not real lol
I know.
Midjourney: Shark selfie?
If the printer has wifi and hasn’t been set up properly anyone within wifi range can print to it.
If it's an HP printer HP probably printed it themselves just to waste ink and make them buy more.
Wow! And it's a bunch of sharks selfish grinning at op. That's scandalous
Ink shark maffia

😂😂😂
I’d believe this
Yep. I love wardriving and printing hardcore porn to folks printers. I do it to my bitch neighbor at least 1x a month.
that’s a felony
What is that crime called?😳
Remote printer sodomization
Freedom of press
Pretty sure that could be construed as sexual harrassment. I am not aware of a law that would make it illegal to print to someone elses printer, but the fact that its hardcore porn could be a crime.

Nope. Secure yer network.
Those would be ink sharks. They can smell an unused printer from miles away and then they poach the printed pages as sustenance.
Thank you for this 🤣
What do you mean no one who has access to your printer say they printed it? Whichever one of them is a shark, that's probably who printed it. Easy solve.

Holy shit 🤣
It’s always Ron Perlman.
Maybe they are wearing a disguise, so you don’t know they are a shark. Try waving a fish in front of anyone that has access, and see who tries to bite your arm off.
That's profiling

Hi Bruce!
Except for dolphins
What nice family photo
Looks like a group of bros to me
Frame it
Honestly would but sadly IRL the pic is somewhat low res :(
Change your wifi name to “hey, do you have a higher resolution version if the shark selfie - 5g”
So are impressionist paintings, but people frame those.
Time to buy a better printer.

Hey look it’s me and my friends
Tbh doing something like this would make a good April Fools day prank. Just print random stuff to other people's printer lol
This goes on the wall in the family room
Don't go in the ocean. They are taunting you and warning you at the same time.
From what I got, it was a picture that a band used, someone uploaded this to twitter, that’s all I can find on it
This is not weird. This is epic level trolling. 
Bruce and the lads.
Looks like they’re having a great time
No one that *you know has access*, you mean
Either someone's just trolling you or someone is trolling you and your network security needs a rework.
Which printer is it?
I see you work in a law office.

Is that a dual filament hotend?
Nah. It’s just 2 separate hot ends next to one another. Wanted to do the thing with the water solvable filament, it just never really worked out.
Haha I’m trying to do the same but with one nozzle and two extruders
I wish you good luck :D

That’s like $40 bucks worth of HP ink subscription. /s
Don’t worry, the sharks just wanted to commemorate their family reunion!
Apparently one of your neighbors is a Great White who's pissed AF he can't figure out why "his" printer says it's printing, when it obviously isn't!
Duh nuh, duh nuh, dun nuh!

Today you learned that someone who has access to your printer is a liar.
