FWIW, my Photo 700 is on a cheapie wooden table -- the kind
with thin wooden legs and a surface area the size of a
cafeteria tray, made for parties, etc...

And the table sways and dances whenever the printer's doing
its thing.  And I thought about this for a while, and 
decided, maybe this is a good thing -- it's absorbing 
some of the impact that the printer would otherwise be
experiencing.
