Advantech printer driver: heap corruption via Monochrome blit function (DrvRender_x64_ADVANTECH.dll)

Heap corruption in the Advantech TP-3250 printer driver due to 32-bit size arithmetic and unvalidated geometry in a CopyBits-style routine; reliable crash and likely local Privilege Escalation.

Just finished some testing on #VoidLinux and i'm pretty impressed. It feels like using #ArchLinux, still it's different. The documentation is really good and i've successfully tested everything i needed, like #printerdriver, #apparmor and #nvidia drivers. #XBPS is really fast and intuitive. This might really well be my next distro.

The f**ing Samsung scx-3405w works on MacOS only with driver for ML2070! After 2y gathering dust because the actual model driver doesn't work, an obscure reddit post finally solved the mystery. #printerdriver

After finishing my #dotfiles it'll be time to #automate the process of installing and customizing #ArchLinux to my liking. I've already done a complete todo list in #obsidian. Everything from #secureboot to #printerdriver is in the scope and i'm really hyped to see how this one will go.

Why does my printer keep going into a deep sleep/offline?

I have a Brother HL-L2350DW laser printer. It works great. Except... it's started ignoring my attempts to print 95% of the time. Even immediately after being restarted, it goes to 'deep sleep' on...
