[Noisebridge-discuss] Printer

Mon Nov 17 17:33:37 UTC 2008

Hi

 I am aware that we dont need more printers but I  thought to check with you
before I get rid of 2 printers.

 One is a serial printer  multi-function Espson stylus 6600, and another is
a USB multifunction printer Epson stylus  CX5200. I am sure that somebody
could make them work or hack. They turn on but the printing device gives me
an error.

 Please let me know if anyone would like to play with them or if I should
take them somewhere else.
