My home internet situation is all laptops. My wife has her own, my kids share one and I have one.
We are wireless. I forget the router details. My issue is, sometimes when my wife tries to print something from her computer, she has "stuff" already in the print que that she did not look at on here machine. A few times it was pron that I had looked at on my machine. It seems odd that she would have that in her print que. I have not used her computer at all and and have not even had my computer connected to our printer. Ideas? I really don't want my kids printing something that I've been lurking. Ever try to explain what fetish means to your kids? |

It's happened about 5 times, 3 were pron. and never had I tried to print any of it.
It was just random stuff I had surfed on the net. I like pron, so stands to reason it would be the majority of stuff. And again, it was nothing I tried to print. My computer not even set up to print on our printer. I guess that's my main question, how does something I looked at on my machine get loaded in my wifes machine's print que? |

the print que is shared. Other people can see what you print. Windows print services is a persistant little bugger. ( I'm a third party IT consultant, specializing in windows ) windows print subsystem is fucking pure garbage. oh and SOME_body is printing porn if you or anyone sees it in the print que. if it aint you.... I'm betting kids. |

Windows print services is a persistant little bugger. How does that work? The stuff in my wife's print que is from my computer which has never been connected to our printer and I have not tried to print anything . At all. Does it have to do with the wireless router? |

I'm betting kids. First time it happened I had the talk with my son. He denied etc... But when it happened again and again, random stuff like news blogs that I read as well as some of the pron that I've been to, I'm thinking some other technical thing is going on. |
| While I have seen windows do some mega crazy stuff, if you really see it in the print que... I would bet it's being printed by mistake or on purpose. It's the same printer for all 3 laptops? go get two of the laptops and open up the print que on both. print something on one. you can see on the other computer what the job is and what computer it's coming from. |

You're still no looking at it correctly. Your wife doesn't have here own print queue and neither do you. If it's a shared device all jobs go to the printer's queue and sit there until they can print. So, it doesn't matter that your wife is seeing jobs that could have only come from you, it's the natural state of a print queue. All that said I have no clue why you're getting phantom print jobs that you aren't sending unless maybe your ctrl key is stuck down and it's sending a job every time you type the letter "p" but, if that were the case you'd be seeing all kinds of weird shit happening as you typed. Like the other poster, print jobs don't just appear, they are getting sent by someone. I'm reminded of my favorite computer maxim: Computers, they never do what I want. Oh, they always do what I tell them to, just never what I want. |

AFAIK, there would be no way that one laptop would send print queue items to another laptop.
What I'm thinking is the OP is accidentally doing something that is trying to print, but the printer is off. The wife then wants to print something, turns the printer on, and the OP's queue gets dumped to the printer. |

Then, only connect to it when you need to print something. And while you're at it, update the antivirus. Can't hurt. |

op says that the printer has never even been installed on his computer.
the kids are looking up dads history and seeing what pr0n they can view where if anything happens, dad will think it was dads computer. but they screwed up when they tried to print it for offline fapping. |

So there must be something else going on. Has you computer ever been setup to print? Was it ever connected to the printer? Is the printer shared out through your wife's computer and available on your network? If all those answers are no, then is it possible that your kids got on your computer, went through your history, and printed the porn either intentionally or by accident? |

my guess is you're looking at the printer versions of the pages, and they get sent to your print queue. Frequently, people will link to the printer version of a page to strip out ads.
on my machine, it would still require several clicks to get it in the queue, but maybe not on your machine. |

i am pretty sure i know what is going on.... so your son probably tried to set up the printer via TCP/IP and set it up improperly. If your wife's machine was already wirelessly set up with the printer...what happened was when your son went to set up the printer, he set up printing THROUGH your wifes computer. Poses quite a problem if her computer isn't on the wireless network/shutdown/disabled for printing though. his computer will forward the queue'd items when she gets back online/starts up her machine again, but it may error and not pass the prints through to the actual printer, thereby leaving them in limbo on your wifes machine. seen something like this happen before...
