On-printer Controls (0.0)
There are only 3 buttons on the front of the B8850. From the left, these control cancelling printing, feeding paper into the printer and relinitializing the ptiner after a problem has been fixed. There are a lot of blinky lights, though; two above the paper feed and reset buttons, plus 8 below this that light up when an ink cartridge needs replacing. To the left of these lights is a single light that flashes when there is a problem with the print head, such as a blocked nozzle or other issue.

| All of the controls on the B8850 are grouped to the left of the printer front |
On-Printer Display (0.0)
There is no LCD screen or other display on the B8850; all of the printers communication is done through the blinking lights described above and the driver on the computer itself.
On-Printer Menus (0.0)
There are no menus or other controls on the printer itself.
Media Slots (0.0)
There are no media slots or ports on the B8850; images have to be printed from the computer.
Wireless & Network (0.0)
There are no network connections on the B8850, so the only way to turn this printer into a networked one is to attach it to a PC or Mac that is always turned on, and to then share it though that. Also missing is a PictBridge port, which allows a digital camera or other device that supports this popular standard to print directly to the printer, with no computer. However, this is not a critical omission; with a high-end printer like this, most users are going to want to edit their photos in a program such as Photoshop before printing them out.
