I tried several other schemes to find this, and struck out. The museum
seems to be using a rack server service http://www.havnet.net/, secure
checkout, of course which is broken.
I tried going thru archive.org's images of this site, and did find that
there were epson documents on the site, but this manual is an addition
after 2013, which is as far back as I went. And the checkout scheme was
there already, though the manual was not, so I stopped that search. I
wonder if we guessed the correct url if the manual is visible, but
didn't get anywhere with that.
Hopefully someone can fix their server. I have a friend who is an
instructor in Cambridge, I will send this to her next week if you don't
get anywhere, and see if she can contact someone who can contact
someone, if the page isn't fixed. Also sending a donation is asked for,
and I could get no donation or purchase to work at all, so they will be
missing revenue for the museum (in whatever shape it is in) till they do
fix the page.
thanks to Scott for the other info, filed it away for when I feel the
need to open an Epson printer.
thanks
