I had an M203dw literally go up in literal smoke at a customer's site. They asked for a small black and white duplex laserjet. So I googled around and found the M209dwe. Ethernet port, duplex, laser, all sounded good

Ordered it and it arrived. Got the MAC address, loaded the DHCP reservation, set it up on the print server, and scheduled a time with the customer for install

Today was the install appointment. I unboxed, plugged it in and powered it up. Verified it had the right IP and I could get to the web UI. All good. Mapped and tried a test page.

Page failed to print. Huh. Wonder what that's about. Tried another PC, tried direct from the print server. Nope. No prints. All failed. Checked for FW update. Nothing new.
