Digital BW, The Print

Martin:
Here is an idea. Build yourself a U shaped box slightly larger than the
printer. Make the sides about 3" tall. Make yourself a second U shaped box
1" less wide than the first one. Go to your home depot store and purchase a
pair of drawer slides. Turn the second box upside down and fasten the one
half of the slides to the outside of this box. Take the other half of the
slides and fasten them to the inside of the first box.  Fasten the lower
half of this box to your table top.You now have a low platform that you can
place your printer on. When you want to load paper from the rear pull the
printer out from the wall, load the paper, and slide the whole thing back
again.

This conserves your space and still allows you to get to the back of the
printer.
