Gregory's Serverpoof, there it goes!!
btw if you’re thinking “that seems like a terrible input method for entering the wifi password” you’d be spot on

 @kai I'll take it off when I figure out which stickers can take its place to break up the monotony of a gray plastic cube  @samhenrigold maybe you could pay for your printer through advertising? "Download a free audiobook today!"  sam henri gold, I've never owned a networked printer but aren't these things supposed to create a wifi hotspot for setup precisely so you could use something with a better keyboard to enter the password? @grishka maybe I missed that part? there was a QR code in the box to their desktop app where I could set it up but I feel like if I install printer software on my computer, I would have reached the point of no return of becoming a boomer  @grishka @samhenrigold I think sometimes there's also a mechanism where you can just press a button on your router to allow access to the device, and therefore don't need to enter a password. However I think I had to enter a password on my Brother as well.  @samhenrigold I have the same one. Be prepared for it to periodically disconnect from wifi. Pro tip: don't re-setup (absolutely horrendous password interface) and just cycle the power. Ask me every time I need to print something how I know. @thillsman Oh no am I gonna have to put this hideous thing in my living room to connect it directly to the router |
@samhenrigold you're not going to take that sticker off the front? 😅
