-====== Color Printer Etiquette ======
+Some Linux users in the department found it helpful to have the model number of the printer for specific drivers and searching for the printer on the network. The exact model numbers are as follows:

 ====== Poster Printer Instructions ======
+Please give Zach a heads up when you plan to print so that we can check supplies! Zach checks around the usual AAS / conference busy times, but best to give a heads up just in case! Note! Supplies for this poster printer cannot be bought locally.
 Making posters is relatively straightforward. There is a non-negligible cost to make these, so it is best to get it right the first time and not to have to make too many attempts.

 If you need help or if you run into any problems with the poster printer - please notify Zach E. and Jon H. via the issues at astronomy.nmsu.edu email alias.
-**PLEASE NOTE** - Even though the printer poster is working, and we have been able to successfully do several prints, please do not wait till the last minute to print your poster! The poster printer usually only gets used in bursts (near end of the semester and right before AAS!), as such its always possible that a problem has manifested over this time without us knowing. Additionally, replacement ink and printheads are not sold in local stores and can only be purchased online. While I have some backup ink, there is always the possibility of requiring an order which would take 2-3+ days.
