That's amazing news, thanks for the heads up. I've got a laserjet 5n which
appears to be a pretty similar form factor. Does the 2200 have the fold down
paper entry on the front that you're sending the pcb in on?
Do you have any photos or anything on how you reduced the pressure on
rollers etc? any more info would be wonderful, as I would love to try
especially if I could do it in such a way as to be able to still print onto
paper!
Cheers,
Andrew
