We did get it working on the x900 (wide formats larger than 17). This post is on community.inkjetmall.com forum for the instructions, and I believe on the 4900 too but I have to go back to notes and the printer itself because I do not believe it was written into the instructions before I arrived.

I’ve been making ink all day in the clean rm. To it in the morning (gotta pull the 49 from storage).

I also understand from their posts that they will take this part themselves, but just for premium customers. Is this why you might not be interested in solving these problems? I paid for the driver as well - you got your money, so please give me some value :)
