So here's a crazy idea. What about talking to Amazon AWS about getting (maybe donated) cloud computer(s). You'd only need something to remote desktop, run the printer.

And why Winders at all?
I'm certainly not a fan, but there are two possible reasons why we should dual-boot:
1. Corey C. said there may be biz applications we need (accounting, inventory, etc.)
2. If the wide-format printer works, then there may or may not be Linux drivers. (Color cartridge arrived at my home two days ago. Will bring it to the museum tomorrow, assuming this snow doesn't become anything major. I have a really crappy old Ubuntu laptop (daily laptop is a Chromebook). Will try to get an openprinting.org driver on it tonight and see if it works with the printer.
