I agree. Especially on legacy printers. I think if you pay for the machine you should get to know how to fix it yourself. There is a big fight going down with John Deere about this same issue. Farmers want to fix their tractors but John Deere won't let them!

That is the problem with a lot of heavy equipment owners. I got the PDF from a source who shall not be named, no viruses, just a clean PDF.

Hopefully you're doing this as a hobby or side job because you are going to spend a lot of time working on an old printer like that. Sometimes you need a witch-doctor more than a tech. It's hard to make money in a competitive market like ours even if everything works.
BTW if you blow the fuses on that mother-board from static discharge the replacements will have to be soldered in. And if you get it a little too hot you can toast the board. Make sure it's unplugged and you're grounded when you're working on it.

We've got the printhead coming, new dampers and new manifolds. One Week. Worth the wait.

Thank you all for your help here, Thanks for not criticizing me for being a noob/newb.
