<p>@dragonator,
I ordered a second printer for disassembly alone. I really appreciate the printhead, and I think you are right. If there is electronics in the head, it may possibly connect right up to a CPU. The high- an low side drivers may (or may not) be inside the head already, making our life incredibly easy. But I will know for sure soon.</p>
<p>@Ezrec,
This has the advantage to possibly need less electronics, but it has the disadvantage that a builder must find an entire printer, instead of just a head. Then again, I hav bought two entire Photosmart printers for less than the printhead inside… .</p>
