It’s a home network—everyone else on their Windows laptops is happy, so clearly everything is working just fine...

Logic says the error has to be in my system settings, but if that were true, why does everything else load perfectly? I can view any photo on the web—even my own albums on these same sites—without an issue. Yet, when I try to pull someone else's photos from those exact same services, it claims their host is "unavailable." It makes zero sense.

Whether you have a fire extinguisher handy or not—the result stays the same.

None of my browsers—whether it's Tor, Safari, Chrome, or Firefox—are loading anything right. They all have their own little quirks, but it always comes back to the same loop: either they can't find the host, I'm supposedly blocked by a firewall (which doesn't make sense since it happens whether that's on or off), or people are just guessing the host is too busy...

I'm running an iMac i3, and I've run into this weird issue where certain forums—not this one—won't load images linked from various hosting sites like Imgur... It's especially stupid because it won't even show photos from Imgur, even though I have my own account there and all my own uploads display perfectly fine—but when I try to view links to anyone else's photos or albums on that same service, it just fails.

Hmm. We're having trouble finding this page.

It is impossible to connect to the server at imgur.com.
If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try:

Try again later.
Check your network connection.
If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox Has permission to access The web.

Obviously, reloading isn't the fix here—my connection is fast and stable—and the firewall suggestion is useless; if a firewall were blocking Imgur, my own photos wouldn't show up either, yet they work fine for me, while everyone else's links just trigger that error message above...

I have the firewall enabled on my iMac (system is always updated, currently on macOS High Sierra 10.13.5, using Firefox 60).

Any idea what's causing this? (Everything else works fine—audio, video, images—on basically any site. This is a private home setup, not some corporate network with strict traffic controls or proxies...)

I’m looking to pick up a used all-in-one printer/copier unit.

- Ideally, I want something that handles both A3 and A4—having A3 capability would be a huge plus, though not a total dealbreaker,
- Color is preferred, but it's not a hard requirement (though if I can get more bang for my buck, why not...),
- It needs wireless printing capabilities via Wi-Fi—we’re spread out across three floors here with one iMac and three Windows 10 laptops, and running cables through the house is a non-starter since we're renting and don't want to be drilling holes in anyone else's walls. So, Wi-Fi is the way to go—it could just run off our DirecTV home network with its flat-rate internet, Wi-Fi, and 10 Mbps speeds.

The main goal is to have a photocopier for several students living here and a wireless printer for print jobs. I can't afford a new machine—they're overpriced and I'm pretty tight with my cash right now—so my budget is around $160. I see plenty of used all-in-ones listed on eBay and Craigslist, but since I've never owned, bought, or maintained one before, I need some advice on what to look for, which brands or systems you'd recommend... and please spare me the "save up a few thousand more and buy something quality" talk—that's simply not an option. Just give me practical advice for this specific price range, since there are dozens of listings out there and I really need to grab one of them to get by... Thanks!
