* I got the printer working for black and white. I'm doing some experimentation with scaling and orientation and will write up clear instructions soon. The current process of getting your prints jobs to the printer is convoluted. I'll be working on improving that. Once we replace the color cartridges, they may also work. - Mark
* It seems as if the print heads are getting clogged and this machine needs to be used 1-2 times a month. Any way that we can ask the area host to print a job that often as part of maintenance?

== Ongoing hardware Problems ==
This machine does not produce high quality prints. Usually a few square feet of ink need to come out before this machine even starts working. When it does the colors never get close to correct.
The Expansion card appears to not work, 3 different expansions cards with ethernet ports have been tried. Sometimes the in system menu has updated with the card information. Packet sniffing has revealed that occassionally the machine makes bootp/dhcp requests, but acts as though it never gets a response. Setting a static ip address has not yet worked either.
