Status

Non-functional. Printer is electromechanically in working order, but is reporting minor problems, such as clogged nozzles. Marginal success has been seen depositing magenta and cyan ink during built-in test routines.

History

Was donated in near-new condition, needing only a new ink cartridge. However, more pressing concerns delayed us setting it up for a few years. Recently, we have replaced the ink cartridge, and attempted printing.
