This small form factor machine Type 10TX0013UK. BIOS Revision M22KT49A, Block Revision level 1.49. 11/10/2022
After fitting a NVMe SSD to replace the existing hard drive the machine booted once from the cloned image but then failed with a ‘Error 1962: No operating system found’. The solution to this was to enter the BIOS and go to the Devices > Network Setup settings for PXE and disable them. This included the PXE IPV4 Network stack, same for IPV6 and the PXE option ROM setting.

HP OfficeJet Pro 9730e A3 Colour Multifunction Cartridge Inkjet Printer with automatic two sided printing (duplex) and scanning
After trying to set-up a new Epson Expression Home printer for a client and failing to get any usable printouts from the control panel I then connected directly by USB to a Windows 11 machine. Using the downloadable configuration tool the black prints became dense enough to read. After a couple of nozzle cleans and a head clean the black improved slightly more but the nozzle check report showed the colours were still full of gaps. The Epson support line advised me to then carry out multiple head cleans & nozzle checks in succession. My client intervened and started the return process. I cannot remember ever having this amount of set-up difficulty with a new printer to get to the output of printed sheets. Printer drivers and connectivity would not be such an issue as this involves so many combinations of products.
