Subject: Inkjet testing

I found an Epson Stylus 800 today. Not Stylus Color 800, just
Stylus 800. Only takes one black cartridge. However, there is a
piece that pulls off the back so you can clear paper jams, and it
handily leaves a straight through paper path!

Inspecting it, it looks like it may be able to take 1/16 inch thick
PCB.

I don't have an ink cartridge for it, though. I've got a screwy
idea of hooking up a flexible hose (like aquarium hose) to the
little pipe that sticks up into the cartridge. Then just put some
cleaner into it (vinegar?) and see if I can get anything out of the head.
