[clug] Free to good? home: A2 printer

[Ian]

I too am doing a project right at the moment that needs a colour A2
printout and it would be much cheaper if I could utilise this printer
rather than get it professionally printed.

I'm not sure I'd want to keep it given the limited space in my college
room, but I wouldn't mind using it next week.

Cheers,
-I

On the day *I* go to work for Microsoft, faint oinking sounds will be
heard from far overhead, the moon will not merely turn blue but
develop polkadots, and hell will freeze over so solid the brimstone
will go superconductive.
