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.
[root@localhost ~]# lprm - [root@localhost ~]# lpq HP-LaserJet-Pro-M201-M202 is not ready no entries
On laptop: lprm - lpq Epson WP-4530 Series is not ready

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.

Could you possibly be thinking about "Fork bomb" -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb I thought of that when I saw the subject title. On 5/4/21 1:03 AM, Doug McGarrett wrote:
