I just got one also and am also VERY pleased with it after 2 days usage.

Now for MY dumb question ...:-)
How does one go about getting this printer to NOT print the startup
page (with all the printer statistics, etc.) upon powerup? There are a
number of configuration-type switches on the controller board, but the
documentation that comes with the printer gives no clues as to their
purpose (except to note that they are all set at the factory for
typical installations and should not be mucked with by the
unknowledgeable. Way to go Apple! >-( ) I know that there is some
postscipt sequence that will do the trick (although I don't know what
the sequence is) but since there is no mention of a battery for
retaining parameters across a power-down, I didn't think that that
approach would work here. Any help would be appreciated. TIA.....
