		+	* '''What happened to the update-printme script which was written by one of the volunteers? Is it gone or would it still be useful? (I probably should have gotten my hands on a copy of it at the time..) '''
		+	** Anyways, I have replaced the database's response with instructions to see the Printme wiki page now (it mentioned update-printme before), but let me know if you would like it to change again. I have complete control of the text printme outputs in this situation from the database, so we can trivially change the output to be more helpful when we know our processes change.
