Hi all,
Newly upgraded Slackware 14, and just about to set up my printer, when under the CUPS web interface I noticed this printer already attached to my system.

Anyone else seen this?
Anyway, never owned an Epson printer, have no idea who Virginia Kopacz is and don't run a network in that address range.

Never occurred to me that that could be the case. Anyway, did a scan of wireless networks in the vicinity and you are both correct. Found an unsecured network on that network addressing range.
Just freaked me out for a moment.
