While that works, it's far better to leave the DHCP settings alone and connect to the printer by "device_name" so that any changes to the network, say a new router with a different DHCP and/or IP range that may conflict with a printer fixed IP setup won't have any effect on the printer/PC communication.

Sometimes going to search and typing in the printer name or IP can work too or a good old-fashioned reboot of the router other than that, try cursing at it.
Y'know...
I thought to myself, I'm going to uninstall everything on my PC that is even vaguely related to printing and scanning and plug in a USB cable then reinstall.
First problem; it connects via USB-C with a bespoke cable. Not USB-C both ends. Not supplied.
Right, thinks me, before I go ranting on an Epson website, I'll give it one more go - the first time I tried, the lovely instructions said to do all the installation processes via their be-all-and-end-all mobile app: it'll be great! This time 'round - oh no I won't.
I just ran the install via the PC and... everything worked (except a firmware update but I hate those anyway so that got skipped)
I reiterate, y'know...
Anyway, let's park my frustrations somewhere out in the wilderness and move on
The system I'm in still has a great GCZ I love running. I'm going to enjoy this, thinking of the enemy as being rogue mobile app coders.
I mentioned my current system a few days ago - three bodies with bio signals. Having done the first two, I headed to third last night, did the surface scan and - bingo! - stratum tectonicas. Which appeared to be everywhere.
Took me over an hour of searching to find just one sample. Elusive critters, but I will not be denied !!

Yeah, one would think now would be a good time to get an upgrade for our old, outdated scanner probes...
And alongside a software update which incorporate fixes to the experiences we had out there...
Though I suspect that, unless Achilles creates another shakeup of the market, the corporate minds are way too slow for this.
We can only hope that one of the engineers might find a solution.
I believe there is a bug where settlements not in PP regions or something are not dropping mats, the whole of the Colonia region is affected by this.An Epson Ecotank 2830 all-in-one printer. I'm going to run the set up again via USB then sort out the WiFi bit later on. If all else fails, I'll just get a long cable and connect wired. Not ideal but hey ho.
I won't waste too much time pouring over the vagaries and troubleshooting. Spent too many years troubleshooting when I was working so don't need the hassle.
I need stuff to be simples as it cuts into my play time
Speaking of which...
My inventory numbers for data stands at 997/1000. Assets and goods around half that. So, I might do another gun or suit just to compare if it's easier to do these days
Mind you, settlement power ons, which were my go-to for materials, have all yielded zero mats since PP2. I think I have to do these types of missions in certain systems only these days - ones with no PP status have empty lockers and data points.
I could be wrong in that.
Gosh, it's late/early and I'm rambling. I love nights of insomnia.
Yeah I have been to settlements that do have mats, never walked into one that didn't, not sure about the PP region or not, or does it only affect players who are actually pledged to a PP faction? Never been sure on that one.
Not sure FDev have acknowledged this or it's by design. I hope it is a bug.
I did a sub-orbital hop around 1,000km towards the equator. Found the other two samples in five minutes
It's good to have efficient tools, but I'd like to keep some sense of actually exploring to find stuff. Don't want everything to be insta-win.
What have you been eating?

This was still happening in Lagoon Sector settlements when I was there just recently - even the "hard drives" were empty
I don't want to pinpoint the locations, either. Just a little more precision than lighting up the entire planet because the temperature and general surface is right.I did a sub-orbital hop around 1,000km towards the equator. Found the other two samples in five minutes

Just a little more attention to detail.
Well I've never had a GCZ with that many sharpshooters in it before. It was heinous and not at all bodacious.
I discovered an Earth-like World!
I'm traditionally unlucky finding them. This is only the 4th one I've ever found.
I also found this lovely planet with a deep blue atmosphere. I love those:
I'm having fun, and finding a few new Codex entries as I go. And making good money, of course. I'm not coming back for the CG.

You might be way too far out for being able to apply to the CG, anyway. If I understood that correctly, they are most interested in systems around the perimeter of the bubble.
Nice looking planet!I discovered an Earth-like World!

Will you be back in bubble for the update in Feb?
I want to try it all out but I'm planning on a trip to a new sector. Hmm. Choices, choices...
I am not sure how they count/limit it. It seems like any chart data counts.
Yeah I actually don't mind the part of the loop which is "well, the bacteria are going to be on a plain but it clearly ain't this plain" after 20 minutes, I will go and find another one.I did a sub-orbital hop around 1,000km towards the equator. Found the other two samples in five minutes

I do think there are clues elsewhere too, like when I was looking for something that liked temperature 20K upwards - the plains which were AT 20K yielded nothing so I flew southeast somewhat and yep, warmer, great success.
