Dell 1125 Multi Function Printer

Responsible Individual(s)

  • Josh Williams

Info on 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.

Things to do

  • 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


HP LaserJet 1320 Laser Printer is dead. Long live the new printer

Responsible Individual(s)

  • Corey Tebo
  • Josh Williams

Info on Printer

  • This guy died ~6/1/2012. Fuser film was tearing itself to shreds. Replacement fuser ~$50 - $150. Fuser film replacement = lots of work w/little guarantee.
  • 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.
  • Currently sitting in the corner in the main room by the PC.

Things to do

  • Use the fuser as a heating element for an acrylic bender
  • Use the electronics for a new project (bug bots, etc.)
  • 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.
