Someone sent a threatening letter to my printer on Friday and I want to know how I can find out who did it.

I am sorry this happened to you.

 

Unfortunately, the evidence trail might be "thin".

If someone is using your printer, they must have access to your network.

If someone has access to your network, they have found a way through your network security.

How?  Poor password, password to the network was shared by someone who has access, other more brutal hacks used by thieves and bandits to "hack" home networks.

Log into your router and check the logs to see if the router is aware of who has accessed the network.

 

Windows can log who submits jobs to the printer (using the computer) but the setup has to be put into place AHEAD of time.  There is no "catch up" logging to check after the deed is done.

 

What else?

If the content has threatened you, your family, your pets, your "anything",

If you do not feel safe,

Contact your local police department and report that you have been threatened.

If you are afraid of the police or if the police cannot help you,

Contact you local clergy, your local Fire Department, a trusted friend - Ask someone for help.

 

On the Practical Side...

Change the password to your Wireless network.

Yes, this means you must change the password on all your devices that use the printer - and on the printer itself.

 

Unwanted Prints, Flyers, or Ads on the Printer
