Brother MFC-490cw unable to print 70

My wife is studying as last year college student and one of her friend knows that I am a software engineer so yesterday she called my wife that the printer was not working.  Its funny I asked her to do a video chat and bring laptop near the printer and show me the issue.

First issue was that she had recently changed the ink so I asked her to take out the cartridge and show me and it seems she hasnt pulled the plastic wrapper in front of ink nozzle.

Now even after removing it the print was not working so I asked her to put something on scanner tray and try to copy it and again it was same issue "Unable to print 70".

It seems real issue was paper stuck issue near the cartridge and I asked her to remove it and volla the problem was solved.


Funnies part of the story was that I was going ROFL when I found unable to print 70 was related  to paper stuck issue, being an engineer I can feel the pain of a non IT user who would not know how the heck to connect unable to print 70 to paper stuck issue. For us its natural that we tweak different things and try again and repeat the cycle until we have found the issue :).

Jersey streaming binary data

In the previous post I showed how you can post binary data to a jersey REST api. You can also use Jersey to serve files, although its better done by apache or nginx but sometimes you might want to serve thumbnails stored in a database out of a service and put varnish in front of the REST api to cache the thumbnails. This is just a demonstration of using jersey to serve binary data in streaming fashion. @Path("/download-service") public class DownaloadService extends SecureRestService { private static final AppLogger logger = AppLogger.getLogger(DownaloadService.class); @POST @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM) public StreamingOutput getThumbnail( @FormParam("securityKey") final String securityKey, @FormParam("guid") final String guid) throws JSONException { return new StreamingOutput() { @Override public void write(OutputStream out) throws IOException { try { if (!isAuthorized(securityKey)) { response.sendErro...

Spring 3.2 quartz 2.1 Jobs added with no trigger must be durable.

I am trying to enable HA on nodes and in that process I found that in a two test node setup a job that has a frequency of 10 sec was running into deadlock. So I tried upgrading from Quartz 1.8 to 2.1 by following the migration guide but I ran into an exception that says "Jobs added with no trigger must be durable.". After looking into spring and Quartz code I figured out that now Quartz is more strict and earlier the scheduler.addJob had a replace parameter which if passed to true would skip the durable check, in latest quartz this is fixed but spring hasnt caught up to this. So what do you do, well I jsut inherited the factory and set durability to true and use that public class DurableJobDetailFactoryBean extends JobDetailFactoryBean {     public DurableJobDetailFactoryBean() {         setDurability(true);     } } and used this instead of JobDetailFactoryBean in the spring bean definition     <bean i...
