This, however, is the first time she's ever produced a RAM dump. I've pushed all the buttons and nothing gives me a RAM dump. Can't find anything on RAM dump in the manual. Didn't find anything with a google search. I've withheld wet food for two days now and my little darling still refuses to "talk" or otherwise give up her secret. I'm thinking about stepping up the torture, establishing my own little kitty gitmo (kitmo) until she squeals. Maybe I'll take away the cat tree so she has nowhere to run when the dog gets after her. JK, of course but, I'm baffled! Anybody have any idea how she did that?
Help save my cat from "Kitmo"

If she's used to being on the computer while you are sleeping or away. she might have been innocently checking her stock portfolio or watching kitty pron, who knows? Withholding wet cat food is one way to get her to spill the beans, but maybe you need to knock her offline. Since she is an advanced user, GeekU might be an option, just to keep her on the straight and narrow path. Look her in the eye and tell her, "You may be able to tune a piano, but you can't tunafish." Cats hate to look foolish. Let her think that one over for a few days. Good luck.

I can't see how a printer would produce a RAM dump unless it was already in the print queue?
Actually, previous to this incident, an old receipt I'd printed from an online purchase was apparently stuck somewhere in the printer (in print buffer/ram???) because she'd get up there and go to pushin' buttons and that old receipt would shoot out! (????)
I have this question posted on two printer tech forums and between 36 views it appears that no one has been able to figure this one out!

is it by chance a multifunction printer? like...printer scanner combo type deal? what's the make/model?
Why yes, it is... printer/scanner/fax Lexmark x2500.

pretty much all printer/copier devices have SOME kind of service mode....and usually one of the functions in service mode is to do a "stored print" or memory dumps ...or any number of "print from internal memory" options.....your cat probably somehow got into service mode on the printer...

Ah! So, she was just servicing the printer! Well, I guess getting into service mode is probably a technician's trade secret or something. I guess that's why kitty wouldn't talk. Ms. kitty came from the shelter. No one there told me she had Lexmark training! Hmmm... Well, I'm glad she doesn't seem to be able to work the phone as well as she does the printer. 'Fraid she might call the SPCA on me or something (Cat's really hate waterboarding!). Guess it's time to shut down Kitmo.
Thanx dsenette, that was interesting to know.

How many stitches do you think the doctor would have to give you if you tried to waterboard a cat?pretty much all printer/copier devices have SOME kind of service mode....and usually one of the functions in service mode is to do a "stored print" or memory dumps ...or any number of "print from internal memory" options.....your cat probably somehow got into service mode on the printer...
