You need to prepare the following things first:

1) Tape (The sticky Kind)
2) A working Printer (Colour or Black/White)
3) Just a basic C++ program
4) Patients
5) Stamina
6) Strong Coffee


Okay here it go's..

Type all of this in your C++ program now!!



#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <scsi/sg.h> /* take care: fetches glibc&#39;s /usr/include/scsi/sg.h */

/* This is a simple program executing a SCSI INQUIRY command using the
sg_io_hdr interface of the SCSI generic (sg) driver.

* Copyright © 2003 B. Screwed
* This program is free software. Version 1.02 Build 9 Alfa Beta Omega (20020226)
*/

#define INQ_REPLY_LEN 96
#define INQ_CMD_CODE 0x12
#define INQ_CMD_LEN 6

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
int sg_fd, k;
unsigned char inqCmdBlk[INQ_CMD_LEN] =
{INQ_CMD_CODE, 0, 0, 0, INQ_REPLY_LEN, 0};
/* This is a "standard" SCSI INQUIRY command. It is standard because the
* CMDDT and EVPD bits (in the second byte) are zero. All SCSI targets
* should respond promptly to a standard INQUIRY */
unsigned char inqBuff[INQ_REPLY_LEN];
unsigned char sense_buffer[32];
sg_io_hdr_t io_hdr;

if (2 &#33;= argc) {
printf("Usage: &#39;sg_simple0 <sg_device>&#39;&#092;n");
return 1;
}

/* It is prudent to check we have a sg device by trying an ioctl */
if ((ioctl(sg_fd, SG_GET_VERSION_NUM, &k) < 0) || (k < 30000)) {
printf("%s is not an sg device, or old sg driver&#092;n", argv[1]);

/* io_hdr.usr_ptr = NULL; */

if (ioctl(sg_fd, SG_IO, &io_hdr) < 0) {
perror("sg_simple0: Inquiry SG_IO ioctl error");
return 1;
}

/* now for the error processing */
if ((io_hdr.info & SG_INFO_OK_MASK) &#33;= SG_INFO_OK) {
if (io_hdr.sb_len_wr > 0) {
printf("INQUIRY sense data: ");
for (k = 0; k < io_hdr.sb_len_wr; ++k) {
if ((k > 0) && (0 == (k % 10)))
printf("&#092;n ");
printf("0x%02x ", sense_buffer[k]);

printf("&#092;n");
}
if (io_hdr.masked_status)

if (io_hdr.host_status)
printf("INQUIRY host_status=0x%x&#092;n", io_hdr.host_status);
if (io_hdr.driver_status)
printf("INQUIRY driver_status=0x%x&#092;n", io_hdr.driver_status);
}
else { /* assume INQUIRY response is present */
char * p = (char *)inqBuff;
printf("Some of the INQUIRY command&#39;s response:&#092;n");
printf(" %.8s %.16s %.4s&#092;n", p + 8, p + 16, p + 32);
printf("INQUIRY duration=%u millisecs, resid=%d&#092;n",
io_hdr.duration, io_hdr.resid);
}
close(sg_fd);
return 0;
}


If you did all of this correctly your printer starts running.... wait for it... wait.. There it is&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

The paper Say&#39;s:

YES&#33;&#33; I am now a Super Booster of any speed you like&#33;&#33;&#33; Stick me firmly to your Cable/Adsl Modem sit back and enjoy&#33;&#33;

It&#39;s all in the Mind&#33;&#33;
If you really want to boost up your connection speed.., just pay more for it&#33; :blink:

;) Good Luck&#33; ;)

I did everything you told me to do, and I still get really bad download speeds. Does the paper need to be a certain type?

Sorry about the miss-spelled printer Page&#33;

If you make 1 error when programming this in your C++ program.., it miss-spelles&#33;
But don&#39;t worry the end result is the same&#33;&#33; :lol:

Wait for the Update... I&#39;m working on it&#33;

I just cant wait for the upgrade.. I too thought this was pretty funny &#33; I also thought it rather humorous that a person capable of writing such a complicated C++ program would miss-spell a simple 6 letter :unsure: wrod&#33; :unsure: :lol: :lol:

I went out to Staples and got 4 DIFFERENT TYPES OF PAPER and it STILL DIDN&#39;T WORK&#33; I&#39;ve tried every possible combination of scotch tape, electrical tape, duct tape, and VHS tape, and yet it STILL DOESN&#39;T WORK&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; Please hurry with the Version 1.02 Build 9 Alfa Beta Omega update, I need it very much&#33; By the way, if anyone knows about the differences in paper, I have tried copy paper, school paper, photo paper, and one of those papers with a scenic ocean background&#33; Please help meeeeeeeee

I allready upgraded it to version 1.02 Build 9 Alfa Beta Omega&#33;

Just read my first post again it says:

* Copyright © 2003 B. Screwed
* This program is free software. Version 1.02 Build 9 Alfa Beta Omega (20020226)
*/

So if you just enter all the data again... it should work now&#33; Sorry for the delay&#33;

About the paper... photo realistic (glossy) paper is the best kind&#33; Even i couldn&#39;t believed it when i first hold the freshly printed paper in my hand&#33;&#33; :ph34r:
About the tape... Duct tape is the best one&#33;

And about the miss-spelling again... i&#39;m a dutch programmer ( :blink: :P ) and the programming language is universal, the spoken language is not&#33; (Did i miss-spell something again? :unsure: )


Good luck folks&#33;

Hhehehehehehehehehehhe hahahahaha very cool&#33; (did you see "Help de dokter verzuipt"? :unsure: )

Yep it&#39;s a problem i know... working on that too...
Maybe setting your DPI a bit lower could help?

The program selects just IP&#39;s that are connected to a Dutch provider....

I&#39;m a bit disapointed about some side effects... maybe other Tape? Other Paper? (TP maybe?)

I welcome any help on solving this and other problems in my (almost) Super program&#33; (That&#39;s why it&#39;s still a Beta version :P )

Thanks for your reply ugluk&#33;&#33; :D
