Here's a unique way to recycle old printers.

It's like The Monster Mash, but it's The Printer Smash:

The event was hosted by The Hacktory in Philadelphia, PA.  The people at The Hacktory say they usually send old laser printers and inkjet printers to a recycling facility.  That's exactly what we do with them, too.

BTW, if you ever wanted to know what to do with your old printers, to keep them out of landfills, then you could drop them off at SE Laser.  We offer free printer recycling.

Drop off old printers at the rear of our facility, please.  Address:

Southeastern Laser

1738 Louisville Dr.

Hours: M-F, 8-5.

Surgeon Creates New Kidney by ‘Printing’ It

A surgeon specializing in regenerative medicine on Thursday "printed" a real kidney using a machine that eliminates the need for donors when it comes to organ transplants.


"It's like baking a cake," Anthony Atala of the Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative Medicine said as he cooked up a fresh kidney on stage at a TED Conference in the California city of Long Beach.

Scanners are used to take a 3-D image of a kidney that needs replacing, then a tissue sample about half the size of postage stamp is used to seed the computerized process, Atala explained.

The organ "printer" then works layer-by-layer to build a replacement kidney replicating the patient's tissue.

College student Luke Massella was among the first people to receive a printed kidney during experimental research a decade ago when he was just 10 years old.

Do compatible cartridges void the printer's manufacturer warranty?

Q:  Do compatible cartridges void the printer's manufacturer warranty?

A: No.  HP's warranty statement says, "If a non-HP print cartridge is found to be the direct cause of printer failure or damage, HP will not cover the repair related to that non-HP cartridge."  The same is true for other manufacturers, including Dell, Brother, Canon, Okidata, Samsung and Xerox.  At Southeastern Laser, we further warrant our print cartridges so that we will repair any printer damaged by one of our compatible cartridges.  This type of damage is extremely rare.

Information is your greatest asset. Keeping it secure is critical.

Your doors may be locked.  But are your windows wide open?

It's amazing the lengths to which some will go to keep their workplaces safe while completely overlooking their multifunction devices. After all, MFPs are networked devices, complete with IP addresses and loaded with company-sensitive information-and vulnerable to attack.  If you're not controlling physical and electronic access to your multifunction devices, now is the time to start. And we can help.

The threat is real:
Attacks can be as simple as someone picking up documents left in the output tray, or as complex as worms designed to pull sensitive information from your network. A few more common methods of attack:

• Entry through a phone line connected to your MFP
• Viruses disguised as print files
• Through the vulnerable web server that manages your MFPs and printers
• Images of documents saved on the internal hard drive of your MFPs and printer.
   

The good news? Each Xerox device is designed with security in mind. And each function, the individual parts that print, copy, scan and fax, has a separate firewall subsystem built right in. So there are no soft spots or cracks for attacks to slip through.
