I had a helluva time with UPS trying to get possession of it (but that’s another story). Finally I got it in the house last night, unpacked it, set it up, and ran a few test jobs.
It is Teh Shiznit.
It’s physically taller but not as long as the LJ IIP it replaced, so I even regained a few inches of desk space. A quick, sloppy ruler-check of dimensions suggests describing it as a 15” cube. I unpacked and connected it (oh, did I mention it has its own built-in JetDirect network card, so I can leave it on for T to use without having to leave Syd on as well?) and ran the driver installation CD. The installer found it at once, sitting right where it should be at 192.168.0.3, and dropped in the driver. I had a bit of wrestling with configuration ’cos HP’s setup placemat left something to be desired, but two or three reboots on each side let me print a test page successfully. I printed out a couple of CD covers that I’d been keeping around, waiting for a working printer. The printer kicked out these pretty, saturated photo images that are MILES in quality beyond any other color printer I’ve ever had.
