This is the 36-inch-wide dual-roll large-format inkjet printer between the SparkleForge and the Sewing station.
As of 2019-04-05, it has been loaded with fresh ink supplies and should be usable, but has not yet been tested.
Ink for this printer is very expensive, so please do drop some cash in a nearby cash box if you print something on this printer. If you forgot to or didn't have cash, you can donate electronically.
Using this printer
The printer can be reached via USB or hard Ethernet (no Wi-Fi). BYO cable.
On USB, the printer requires a driver. It may work (untested) with a generic HPGL driver.
On Ethernet, you can upload files to the printer and it'll print them without requiring a driver. (But you need a computer or device that speaks Ethernet, and a web browser that can talk to the printer and upload files. FTP might also work but is undocumented outside of a couple of passing mentions.)
Ethernet may require a crossover cable or a router. Connecting directly with a straight-through cable does not seem to work. (It's also not yet clear whether the IP settings are correct.)
