Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3
SEC File No. 333-73345

In accordance with Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we request withdrawal of our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-73345), and all exhibits to it, effective immediately. We are withdrawing the Registration Statement because we have determined not to proceed with the registration and sale of securities under the Registration Statement at this time. Since the filing of the Registration Statement, we sold our printer division for $925 million in cash and we no longer intend to issue debt or equity securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. We have not, and will not, sell any securities under the Registration Statement.

We further request that you provide us with a copy of the order consenting to the withdrawal of the Registration Statement as soon as it is available (fax: (503) 627-6776, attention: General Counsel; with a fax copy to our counsel, Margaret Hill Noto at (503) 294-9688).
