TITAM - Technical issues that affected me

Problem:  CS510 series won't pull paper from any available tray automatically.  Instead, it says something like "Load Tray 1 Plain A4", even though Tray 2 has paper in it.  Or, maybe, vice versa. Related:  You've loaded the all trays / the only tray with paper, but the printer says you need to load it again, saying something like "Load Tray 1 Plain A4" or similar. Solution:  The CS510 doesn't auto-detect the loaded paper size(s) from the trays directly.  Instead, you have to go to Settings/Paper Menu in the printer web server to set the paper sizes.  It will then "know" that one or more trays are holding the correct paper size for your print job.  It will then stop complaining that you need to load a particular tray with a particular size. This will also fix cases where you've loaded letter and print to letter, but the printer "thinks" the tray holds A4, or similar mix-ups. This will obviously not work if a multi-tray pr...

However, I dropped the dual internet connections a long time ago, and pretty much ignored the poor thing until it died last night.  It's been a fantastic piece of kit, having outlasted nearly every other piece of hardware I've ever bought.  Including the second Linksys WRT54G that I had for both wireless and backup purposes, which also turned out to be busted. The failure was weird, too - it got Alzheimers.  Stopped remembering it's own password, as well as all of the other settings, and usually (but not always) forgot to answer the door when you came round to knock.  I suspect the EEPROM/Flash memory f...
