 I'm thinking of investing $70 in Eset, an antivirus program that was
 top rated in Consumers Reports in 2010. Either that or "really"
 biting the bullet and switching to a Linux program or Apple.

Curly,
I just installed an HP printer on my Mac (after 
the ink nozzle failed on my previous one).
Have you tried going to System Preferences/ 
Hardware/Print & Scan? On my Mac, that window 
has a +/- thing on the left side of the window 
that allows adding or removing a printer. When I 
did + it gave me a new screen to add in the new 
printer. Hope you have good luck. It can be 
frustrating

Regards,
Addison

Yes, that was the first thing i tried.  no 
printer showed up.  Finally unplugged the USB 
cable at the printer and plugged it in again, and 
the printer showed up. (Both mac and ubuntu 
machines.)  Now it only prints blank pages. 
'Nother problem.

It wasted the first half day cleaning itself and 
trashing cartridges.  Before that, I had to take 
out the memory and plug it back in to get rid of 
the 79 error after several unsuccessful restarts. 
Wasted most of the day and still have no working 
color printer.

Re: [MBZ] high school and college cars

2015-02-04 Thread Max Dillon via Mercedes

North-western part off the state, hours from where I grew up.  I did go to a 
summer camp at Rice Lake, don't recall if that was a church camp or an outdoor 
leadership camp.  I think the former, went there a couple summers.  Had no idea 
there was a stock car race track.  I guess baptists don't do stock cars?

Also went to Hayward several winters for a big cross-country ski race.

I bought a 40 twenty years ago, forest land near Rib Lake.  Paid $15k, I think 
now it may be worth $65k.  Haven't done a thing with it,.visit a few times, 
that's all.  Really need too sell that and buy some land close to Charleston, 
follow Kaleb's example and start buying more cars.

We use an HP 8150DN that I bought at work for $25, with extra

have a Xerox 8560 MFP.  Not small, either one, but they're

Much to like about that place, I would think.
In mid '60's we spent a week at Sarona at my uncle's trailer on Long
Lake.  I loved the dirt stock car track at Rice Lake which you might
have known?  And I see Gordon is half way north from Sarona to Duluth.
(I only know Gordon because 15 years ago I drove north and noticed
Gordon.)  I loved the smoked fish purchased on north shore of Lake
Superior.  My uncle would stop at some shack along the road, purchase
fish wrapped in newsprint and a loaf of white bread and we sat on the
rocks along the lake and eat smoked fish and white bread - m,
memory.  I bet that fish was real wood smoke, no chemicals... or maybe
not.  Could have been all chemicals and no wood at all?  Did we live
more hazardous years ago or less hazardous?  Mid '60's I can recall
riding the Greyhound thick with cigarette smoke.  No lung cancer from
second hand smoke that I know nor have I checked.  More, or less
hazardous?  Memorable and delicious, however.

Curly, 
 Not sure what problem you're having.  I've been running an HP2840 since 
Win98 to WinXP and now Win7.  It installs better under XP if you have the 
install disk which uses the web setup to install everything correctly (scanner, 
fax, etc.).  Sometimes the web setup runs into conflict with your modem/router 
because of the assigned address the setup wants to use for the printer.  I 
don't use the scanner on Win7, but the print/copy/fax work just fine using the 
Win7 Pro drivers.  Contact me off line if you want and I might be able to help 
you.

Re: [MBZ] Korean malware FIXED

When I started working for the schools back in 2000 I was charged with 
identifying the best network printers we could purchase for my campus.  The 
District had a contract with Lexmark at the time, but the funds we had at my 
school were discretionary, meaning we could spend them on whatever we wanted 
and weren't bound by purchase agreements.

I did my due diligence and found that the HP4050N was considered a real 
workhorse, so I ordered 12 of them.  We got a bunch of flack from Purchasing 
over buying something off contract, but fortunately my principal respected my 
advice and pretty much told them to stick it.

Today, at least nine of those printers are still in service.  They've had 
hundreds of thousands of pages through them, had complete service kits put in 
them several times over, and they just keep churning out the pages.

When I went looking for a network printer for the house some years back I knew 
it would be an HP4000 series model.

I found a guy over in St. Pete who refurbishes them, and bought one off of him 
for around $75.  I took it to our printer tech at the school district and had  
him check it out, and he gave it a clean bill of health.  It's been sitting in 
my office since, running flawlessly.

Oh - one VERY important thing to consider with these printers - ALWAYS use 
genuine HP toner cartridges.  I bought one new in the box off eBay when I got 
the printer, and it's still in there.

EXACTLY!!! I have a 4050N I bought off ebay when I was a graduate student
for $900.01. (The other guy who really wanted it bid $900.00, so I won.)
I put a 100 Mb/s ethernet network interface card into it and turned it

It's been working great for 15 years now. We have installed one new toner
cartridge. We print everything on it, including all our Christmas letters.

The only difficulty is that the NIC stops listening after a couple

Of all the times I've tried, I never got Windows to roll back using the native 
recovery utility.

I'm not bashing, just relating my experience.

I am a great believer in clean installs.  Keep a clean image and good, regular 
backups, and when something like this occurs you just nuke and start fresh.  It 
makes life so much easier.

It was invisible to Avg, MS Security programs, and the usual "fixits" on Win7

Although it was visibly present on the MSconfig startup list, I hesitated to

I finally decided to "bite the bullet" and try removing it myself.

Had it been caught before the vitreous became opaque enough to not let

8 when I was at the school district because we had to use it to manage Windows 
2012 servers and their VMs.

Re: [MBZ] Korean malware FIXED

I stopped using direct connected printers years ago, as the software the 
vendors use is garbage.  My 'ol reliable HP LaserJet 4000TN is sitting right 
next to me, ready to pound out thousands of pages.

I don't even have a color printer

As for OS', I prefer a Mac but they're not the end all to be all.

Re: [MBZ] 300td pretty cheap

79 so it is not a turbo, but it moves OK.  I could probably find a turbo 
donor somewhere if I really wanted to get more involved.


Might as well call the guy I guess, he could do me a favor and tell me 
he got rid of it.  For $500 though, I could probably get $250-$300 for 
the hulk of the old one, strip off everything good off it (which most of 
the mechanicals are, as well as the front suspension I rebuilt) and 
various bits that might be worth something.  OTher than the time it 
might be a fairly cheap deal to get a better car.


I have a Chebby 350 with tranny in the garage too

Re: [MBZ] Korean malware FIXED

Stuff like this is a moving target that takes three people and tens of 
thousands of dollars of very sophisticated equipment to protect our 
organization from such incursions.  The worst part of it is that the authors 
will take one piece of malware or a virus/trojan, whatever, and make a minor 
tweak to the code that can prevent it from being seen or detected by even the 
best antivirus software.

We are a "gold" Symantec customer due to the number of files we submit to them 
for further inspection EVERY DAY.

I would add that we use geoblocking as well - that is, blocking IPs and domains 
that are in parts of the world that are known to be vectors for this stuff.  No 
reason why we should be getting any traffic from those parts of the world, 
anyway.

It's job security, man.

[MBZ] Korean malware FIXED

2015-02-04 Thread archer75--- via Mercedes

I'm thinking of investing $70 in Eset, an antivirus program that was top rated
in Consumers Reports in 2010. Either that or "really" biting the bullet and
switching to a Linux program or Apple.
Gerry

Just now got a pop up that one or more aspects of Malewarebytes have been
disabled with a button to push for enable. I pushed the button.
Gerry

Been getting message from MS program that I'm low on memory.
Accessed msconfig, and at the top of the page appeared the word "Korean". The
next line had the symbol for "type configuration setting" with the address:
C:\users\archer\mydocuments\.

Right clicking the symbol brought up 29 pages of Korean characters.

I'm running Malwarebytes (paid for professional program), AVG antivirus, and MS
firewall.

A quick search of Google had nothing specific about this being known malware,
and this blog was the only reference I found that might apply:

Re: [MBZ] Korean malware UPDATE

Not a lot you can do with malware like this.  If you don't have the skills to 
dig under the hood, you have to rely on tools like MalwareBytes, that's all.

I do this for a living, and it would be no different than asking a doctor to 
diagnose someone over the phone.  Without being there and having direct 
control, it's near impossible to make recommendations.

Sorry.

Re: [MBZ] 300td pretty cheap

That is not just "clean" however. That is a matter of putting $$$ in on 
a regular basis.
Any paint issues must be attended to and and any interior wear has to be 
dealt with.
Neither of those items are things that most of us can do ourselves in a 
competent manner and it is expensive to have professional work done.
My old 300D looks pretty good from a distance but I know where the 
blemishes are and it could certainly use some paint repair and interior 
work.
I had the front seats repadded but the upholstery is showing its age. 
The back seat needs to be repadded as it is crunchy and will soon pose 
more problems if it is not attended to.

The carpet is about done. It is crunchy too and easily broken.
So, how much money do I pour into it? It runs fine and I enjoy it. If I 
put $10K into it, I doubt I would increase its value for sale by $10K.
Sometimes it just makes more sense to leave it be. And that is likely 
what has happened with these cars that you see for sale. People have 
enjoyed them but are ready to move on and they are not going to pump a 
bunch of money in now when they want to get out of it altogether.
So, you have to be realistic. If you are looking for a project and are 
willing to put the $$$ in, then go for it.
If you are looking for a cheap beater daily driver, then don't complain 
that the previous owner did not "keep it up". If they had "kept it up" 
you would think it was too expensive and look for something cheaper.
These are not 5 year old cars. They are generally at least 15 to 30 
years old. My 300D is 39 years old and I think, in pretty good shape for 
a car that age that has not been "restored".
My 2002 F150 Supercrew that my younger son now has, is only 13 years old 
and it shows wear. The truck was a Lariat level model and has leather 
seating. Both front buckets have worn spots that should be attended to.
There are rust holes in the rocker panels on both sides and in the cab 
corners. Apart from that, it is really pretty good but once again, we 
are talking some pretty decent $$ to fix those things properly and this 
is a truck wtih 190K miles on it. My son is a mechanic and he will 
likely put another 100K miles on it and repair whatever it needs along 
the way but he is unlikely to spend a whole lot on the cosmetic items. 
He drives it as his daily driver and it is more important to him that it 
be reliable than pretty.

It is possible to drive a car and still keep it clean.   My BMW has
215,000 miles on it and it is clean.  Not as clean as it once was, but lots
of cars have been driven a lot and still look good.   My old 300D 2.5 that
OK Don bought had something like 250-265,000 miles and it was VERY clean.
You don't have to be Dan (aka Martha Stewart) to keep a car clean.  Hell,
you don't even have to do it yourself.  You can go to the car wash!  Or a
detail shop?  Or pay the neighbor kid to do it.

[MBZ] 300td pretty cheap

http://asheville.craigslist.org/cto/4849353885.html

with the dreaded WVO conversion, but a good system for that

pretty cheap and low miles

i'd say average condition 123 cars are really pretty cheap at this point in the 
southeast

Re: [MBZ] OT Snowblowers

Looks like the next fancier model of ours. Ours doesn't have the tilt mechanism 
for the chute. I've considered adding it but I bet it'd be a big deal unless I 
could find a junker that already had it and transfer all the bits over.

I know you have some 123 wagons, so I hope you are being funny! 

I would really like to have a bunch of the old MB's.   Obviously any of the 
190SL, 300SL, or the 280SL (with Pagoda roof), the 280 SE Cabriolet, and many 
others.  A 300SEL 6.3 and any 600 (W100) would be a spectacular addition to any 
MB collection!   In the future I think the 450SEL 6.9 will start to increase in 
value quickly, and I think 20 years from now we will be seeing the 124 500E 
(the ones made in cooperation with Porsche) go for big dollars!

Re: [MBZ] Snowmaggeddon Part Deux


I think it is a matter of what one is clearing and what the wind is doing.
I usually don't turn either. It just seems easier to shift into reverse 
and walk it backwards.
I don't have a big area to clear and am limited in terms of where I can 
blow the snow so maybe that is an issue too.
I think the biggest downside of backing it up is that it does not go 
fast enough in reverse. It has 2 reverse speeds but even the faster one 
is slower than I can easily walk.
The biggest area I ever clear is behind our garage and it is on a back 
lane so I can really only blow the snow straight ahead either to the 
north or south. I cannot really blow much accross the lane as it would 
be up against my neighbor's fence or garage door. One of the problems 
with city living is the lack of space for snow.
Thankfully, we have had little of it so far this winter. Last year we 
had more than our normal amount so we are hopefully going to break even 
this year with less than normal.
I repaired the blower in the fall so that I was ready. Perhaps that was 
what saved us? I had to replace the cable that controls the height at 
which the snow blows out of the chute and clean and rebuild the carb 
which had become gunked up enough that the motor would only run if one 
kept the choke partly on.


I too have an Ariens -= 27 inch cut and probably about 8 HP too. I had 
an older smaller one with a 5 HP that was a good  machine but it just 
would not blow the snow far enough so I upgraded a bit.
Have to stay small enough to get through my gates and turn some sharp 
corners so that I can do the front walk and the back and out through the 
walkway between our garage and the neighbor's garage to do behind the 
garage.

The debate about turning versus backing up is an eternal one, I was running it 
through my head while I was cleaning. Angie periodically does the turn and 
forgets to turn the spout thus defeating the purpose. My neighbor has a 
snowblower with an electric spout so he can be turning the spout while turning 
around for big time savings. I don't mind walking backwards...

Yeah, it does look pretty cool -- pun intended.

What make and model of snow blower?

How many horsepower? (I see something in your garage -- your air
compressor, I think -- is 2.5 HP and 21 gallons.)

Why all the backward movement when you are blowing to the side?
Why not turn around, turn the spout, and keep on going?

Marionville is a small town outside of Springfield, Mo.

$3,000 for the set seems a bit much, since none run, one is missing an engine.

Re: [MBZ] 71 220 Poor car

Could it be a 250?   My 71 250 had wood on the dash, I don't remember whether 
it had the double bumper.   Mine also had the shifter in the center console and 
it didn't have the indicator on the dash.

Except that I don't think it's a 220. A 220 wouldn't have double front bumpers 
and a wood dash.

Re: [MBZ] 240D 3 for the price of 1

I would think this could actually be a good deal.  Someone with the time, 
space, and skill could spend some sweat equity and they would come up with two 
240D's and a parts car.

Re: [MBZ] Snowmaggeddon Part Deux

2015-02-04 Thread Jim Cathey via Mercedes

Remember that there is no differential in the snowblower, both wheels 
turn together. Turning around requires macho snowblower dragging 
strength and skill.


My Ariens _has_ a real differential.  There's a pin to lock it,
if you want.  I never do, having the diff is _so_ much better
than not.  You don't have to wrestle the machine to steer it.

My old Gilson was weak, and could only throw well in one direction,
the one that preserved the angle the fan put on the snow.  No
differential, either.  Though old I thought it was well built,
until I got the (also old) Ariens.

The chute crank on the Ariens is easy to use while using one
hand to turn the machine around for a back pass.  By the time
I'm turned around the chute is turned as well.  (If necessary.)
There's an interlock that means you only need to hold the one
clutch lever down once you are going, freeing up the other hand
to run the chute crank.  It also makes it easy to dodge any
wind-driven snow plumes.

together. Turning around requires macho snowblower dragging strength and skill.
My snowblower has a pin you can remove to disable drive (effectively giving a 
differential) on one wheel, its useless one wheel alone pushes the snowblower 
either not at all or at an angle...

That was also my question.  When mowing the lawn, I try to make circles instead 
of going back and forth.  One can cover more ground more quickly that way.  
Circles would be too hard with a snow blower, but back and forth, turning at 
each end, would seem to be more efficient.
