The advanced printer can …
… hold all 16 colors and use them by printer.endPage(), making it possible to print in multiply colors without a turtle.
… print the background, like a computer. The time of pictures has come!

New functions would be
printer.setColor(color)
printer.setBackgroundColor(color)
printer.getAllInkLevels() –returns a list with all colors and their levels
–color can be 'false' (disabling background)

GUI
Like the standard printer, but instead of the single color slot 4 * 4 of them.
It's not required to insert the colors correctly.

(sorry for the repost, I searched for "advanced printers" on the wrong subforum (0 results) and thought nobody posted this yet :wacko:/>)

I was actually thinking the same thing the other day, or at least another slot on the standard printer so that I can dye the page a different background color.
