C6074A to be exact. Fortunately I don't have to support this beast, but
I get to play with it. Printing at 36x48 inches (~90x120 cm) can be
rewarding, in a "ooh, Shiny!" sort of way. I'm trying to think of more
things I can get away with printing on the monster.

Shiny! indeed. And surprisingly affordable, at least compared to the
thing[1] on the other side of the door from my desk at $ork(-several).

"Thing" is about the right description:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (PreLoginHandshake()).]General network error.
Check your network documentation.

/includes/session.asp, line 86

I have seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire
off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark
near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time,
like tears in rain. Time to die.

Hmm, well, that's a horse of a different color. The 1050C is essentially
an inkjet with a glandular disorder. It'd be interesting to compare the
output and the noise levels.

it's not the printing I would worry about getting in trouble for, it's
the spreading of the posters around in highly visible locations that
might get me in trouble.

On that note, I have the urge to print a huge billboard sized
stereogram looks like dots until you squint thing, and put it up
somewhere near a busy intersection...

What do you think? giant Moray eel leaping out at the viewer?

To believe in gun control, one has to believe that guns are not an
effective means of self-defense, which is why police carry them.

How about this one:

Bonus points if you hide a subliminal message in it too.

There should be no actual image but it must have a caption along the lines
of, "Stereoscopic Personality Test: What do *YOU* see?" or whatever...

Something to drive them all mad. Mad I say!
