About a week ago I attempted to download a PDF and print it. I
tried a
couple of times to print it from two different Linux computers
running
two different Linux systems. Since then neither my Epson nor my HP
printers work, altho I did get a short period of output from the
HP, but
now it is ng again.
The printers say they're ready, but the systems say they're not.

HP-LaserJet-Pro-M201-M202 is not ready

"Instruction Manual Download Link from eBay -

This outfit wanted to sell me a CD of the instruction manual, so I
agreed, since
I do want the information, and a CD came, but now I'm afraid to
run it!
If this is truly a printer bomb, probably some government agency
should
be alerted. However, the expression "printer bomb" does not
register on
Firefox.
BTW: The manual I wanted has nothing to do with tractors; it is a
ham radio.
