I've searched for some specs since:

8108N
standard emulation:
TallyGenicom Compressed Printer Language (?)

that seems the only thing offered;

according to some reviews I've found, it's a re badged Lexmark C500n

Voytek

The following is from the Linux Foundation OpenPrinting database "This  
printer uses Tally CPL (Compressed Printer Language) which is a  
proprietary protocol. Avoid this printer."

More details can be found at  
http://www.linuxprinting dot org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=TallyGenicom-8108N

Subject:   Spam

Hi,

I have noticed that my email address has been used to send spam as it 
has appeared in at least 4 emails that have been blocked by spam 
filtering used by Westnet. Can I do anything about this apart from 
changing my email address?

Regards,

Alan Duval

 Ignore it, happens to everyone thats on a spammers list, the
current software simply randomly picks an email address from
the database and sticks it in the "Reply To:" or From: fields.
