Darvond: This is why I bought a Brother laser printer from an eCycler and never looked back.
Nothing quite beats the pants off the savings you get from having to buy a toner cartridge once every...well, we still haven't had need to buy a new one.
I'd sooner brave the trials of Dante's Inferno than ever deal with an inkjet or Windows printing ever again.
The only issue is that for normal domestic printing, the printer is likely to stop working before you need to replace the toner cartridge. The trick is finding a laserjet that you can repair easily (or getting it cheap to start with). That's always what put me off swapping out from inkjet.Nothing quite beats the pants off the savings you get from having to buy a toner cartridge once every...well, we still haven't had need to buy a new one.

Hah. Maybe in Windows, but thanks to the Common Unix Printing System, you can plug in just about anything and it will work, gosh dang it. Except HP printers. Fuck those in particular.pds41

pds41: I was thinking more the hardware failure side of things; I've always thought that you need to print regularly to keep the hardware working properly (a bit like a car - if you don't take it for a run, it will stop working). Of course, this just could be based on my expectations, rather than experience with printers themselves! Breja

I think the far more interesting question is: can a virus have a printer?

Refrigerators can have viruses.
This article was published in 2014. Internet enabled devices are much more prevalent now. Security hasn't improved much, so things have got much worse since then. After all, when was the last time you ran a virus scan on your doorbell?

Toners poison the atmosphere. Those printers should be thrown in the bin and dot matrix brought back.

Keith_I2: I went to a walkthrough site and right click on each walkthrough page and choose to save it as internet complete. While not connected, I chose to print, dual sided, quality standard vivid, color, etc. Every time the paper jams; page 9 prints ok but when it rolls over for page 10 it jams. another section of another document does the same on page 11-12. All other pages of multi part documents does OK.
Assuming that it's not a mechanical jam, it sounds like you might have some kind of a printer buffer issue. Not knowing the details, and how drivers etc. on your computer/printer setup work, I could make an educated guess that something in those documents gets so "heavy" on those pages that for whatever reason the printer buffer can't handle it, the printer no longer receives clear instructions on what to do, and it halts.
You can test this (if you already haven't) by inserting only a single sheet of paper into the printer, and then choosing to print only those selected difficult pages. If they print normally, then there's no virus or anything specific preventing printing those pages.
I don't know how flexible your printing software is, but you can also try things like printing those pages in reversed order, and see if the same problem, or some new problems appear.
The problem can also be double-sided printing, and your printer for some reason can't flip the paper correctly. Then you can just manually re-feed the other side in, and that should fix it. If it always happens with same pages, then it's a very strange coincidence, but theoretically possible.
