    C458 random 3000 page machine code print job

    Greetings Programs,
    I have a client with a C458 who came in this morning to find a 3000 page print job of machine code in the output bin.
    I'm thinking network error, possibly cyber security issue?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I would think Postscript error or someone printing using the incorrect driver, perhaps an old/different manufacturer driver with the same IP address, Iโ€™ve seen this quite a few times but I suppose it could be cyber security related. Good luck!

      Thanks for your input!
      My background is in cyber security, so that's kinda my default setting.

        If you came from cyber security, i understand your asumtion, but i'm with Brad6784.
        Most plausible and most common is a wrong/old driver on with the same IP-Address and a User not seeing that he prints on the wrong Printer.

          ive seen it dozens of times, try a Ricoh driver on Konica, you're lucky it stopped at only 3000
          check job log and find whose driver needs updating.
          We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
          The medication helps though...
