it is one of the main printers I use at work.

it's in the basement and I'm networked to it but mostly I use it 
directly to copy stuff or scan stuff in pdf onto a flashdrive; one can 
also send scanned stuff to a 'mailbox' which can be accessed via a 
browser; you can set this 'public' or 'private'.

the few occasions I 'send' jobs to it it's via CUPS. I do this so 
infrequently I'm not even sure it works but I imagine it does. it 
works fine with another networked printer I use daily at work (an HP 
laser device, b/w, two trays, duplex).
