Printer Graphtec Master JW1000 PIC added!

Anyone know anything about this printer? I just got one , working condition w/ extra new ink cartridges at an auction...

http://bigpicture.net/content/western-graphtec-introduces-jw1000-inkjet

Its a Graphtec MasterJet JW1000 36" printer/plotter 6 color ink...

I was thinking it would be cool for some game room posters...

maybe some art for myself? ah who knows! Maybe I ll just turn around and sell it.. :)

Original list price of $6900.00 back in 2003 then they first came out?

Ok,

I got it connected... had to get the drivers from the company..

The install new hardware and the drivers didn't go real smooth.. sorta complicated..

it says to install like 3 different drivers.. and of course the download drivers from the company didn't have one they named..

but! I did print a test page from windows..

and I got into the setup and had to print a test page as well...

sounds like a jet plane.. has air suction to keep the paper tight to the rollers.. big ink tanks to pour ink into... auto cutter , etc...

pretty cool... looks like 64 m of internal ram..

now to keep figuring it out...

*like, what software do I need to print some arcade posters from the web from the arcade art website?
