You are obviously new, How new are you to the industry? What are the other sales people doing? Are you collecting unemployment or did they challenge it based on non performance. If they have only 2 service techs I doubt the "CEO" can afford to chase you around let alone an attorney. (Another non professional free opinion) Take it for

TXEagle24, quote: they incorporated the RPCS features such as preset jobs into their rather unstable PCL6 driver. When I was the Solutions Manager at RBS-Boston I demo'd and installed the RPCS driver. I loved the feature set it was great to demo, but we were told by corporate tech support to only install them directly. They told us this after we had installed the RPCS driver on a customer's server and all of the cool icons kept disappearing from the RPCS Driver. You mentioned that Ricoh

You old employer will not be able to completely stop you from making a living in your field. In fact the more restrictive the non compete is the less likely a Judge will be inclined to honor it. Can you post the non compete agreement (just sanitize the names on it). I have heard of a Judge who allowed the ex employer to pick a very limited area (NOT New England, but maybe Boston proper) this leaves many other territories available for a Sales Rep to work. Or another Judge told the ex employer

It's incredible that it works similar to an inkjet printer in that the 3D printer catridge spits out a binding liquid for creating the materials. also to be used in the future for food, artifical organs, it seems like the sky is the limit, really fasinating stuff!

It appears that it may be that the first time you try to print from Adobe XI it does not work properly by way of a pop-up that says"no pages selected" even though they have been selected. If you close it and reopen it may solve the problem. For whatever reason printing works now with the 3406W and Adobe XI. Also we forgot to tell the PS driver when it was downloaded that 36" x 48" is for tray 1 and 30" x 43" is for tray 2 (roll 1 and roll 2 actually). That caused problems also. Especially
