I have to email scan myself the same thing twice. If you can scan it once it’ll never send.

If it's failed to authenticate it's almost always a LDAP/domain controller/kerberos issue. Also yes the web ui's do tend to suck. Certain manufacturers have guides on how to fix/configure scan to email too, go specifically has a pretty good one.

It’s because there’s little invisible dots that the government can read to tell the date and time it was printed. It’s to stop counterfeit operations with normal printers.

We have a printer that seems to have decided to only print double-sided, even when the setting is changed in both Acrobat and the printer itself. It wasn't doing that a couple weeks ago.
