In that case, how about I do it? I've downloaded the latest firmware
(fw7_104.rfu) from HP. Windows is not required, according to HP;
"any method that delivers the .RFU file to the printer will work".
The only reason I haven't 'lpr'ed it yet is because I'm guessing
someone over there would get pissed.
