Dell 1125 Multi Function Printer

Connection: USB
Currently connected to: ALLHANDSACTIVE (HP Touchscreen Computer in main workspace)
The toner cartridge is low, and SUPER finicky. The cartridge that came with it requires a mysterious amount of pushing to get it into position.
- If the toner door doesn't close with a quick forceful snap, then the toner probably isn't in all the way. It does NOT require lots of force.
Printer loading tray is missing, which makes it funky to load paper. See image for wonderful example of functional setup.
It does not have built in network support.
It is hooked up to the main HP machine for the moment. Initial google search for linux support seems to be fairly negative.

Find a good location for this guy, document how to print to it (should be easily printable from MacOS, Windows, Ubuntu)
Find proper paper tray
Find out how much

Currently does not print duplex (two-sided) locally from that PC. This should be fixable -- the printer itself supports it, it's just a matter of drivers which do exist for linux.

Has built in wireless for remote printing (I think) but this doesn't seem to work right now either.

Setup wireless on AHOPS
- Provide instructions for people on how to connect via various OS in Wiki
Set up as LAN Printer via ethernet
- Provide instructions for people on how to connect via various OS in Wiki
Keep USB Extension cable attached to back for random hookup needs.
