HI Alan 00,

Sorry if I sidetracked the thread!

Were you going to use pieces of the printer? Or were you wanting to FEED
the board and transfer paper through the printer?

Interesting idea. I wonder if I've got any more printers awaiting
demolition?

I doubt if you could "feed" anything through if you have the '50' error.
Mine doesn't.

If it's hot, then I guess it's hot! Maybe you can take control of the drive
motor, remove the path past the drum, and get a straight shot past the
fuser? Might be a little work! ;>)
