It's alive! Printer ran out of paper
Monday, February 17. 2014
This one really made me laugh. The entire situation was like from T-2: "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m."
My new printer ran out of paper and it sent me an e-mail about it. 
Subject: [CLP-410 Series]Paper Empty
System Error: M1-5112 Tray 1 is empty. User intervention required to add paper to Tray 1. Printing can continue if the required media is available from other trays, all other machine services (if installed) are unaffected. .
The e-mail had all the information about the printer, its IP-address, serial number and printed page counts. If I would have 17 of those, it would be possible to differentiate which one is in trouble.
Looks like they just might be taking over after all. I tried looking my printer's Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts, but could not find them.
