A colleague just got hers and brought it in this morning.  Yes, you have
to have the lid open on the printer for tractor feed.  But I have my lid 
off all  my printers most of the time anyway.

The B310 had a nice feel but the non-backlit screen started driving me
crazy in ten minutes.  But then I don't see that well.  And I have 
a T1200 that is backlit so I knew that I could do better.  But I also
paid a lot more money.......
