Can you tell us more about the microcontroller hack Mark?

Hard to tell because I have opened these so many times, but I would guess somewhere in the 10-12 hour range. The actual time to do it is much less, but keeping yourself oriented, keeping track of screws, etc will require attention.

There is another version of the hack that is physically simpler, but it requires the use of a microcontroller. It's actually the method I prefer, but I wanted to make the process accessible to people without microcontroller familiarity.

I haven't had time to view the video yet, but can you estimate how much time it would take for an average person (one who has never been inside a laser printer other than to change a toner cartridge) to modify one of the subject printers?

Thanks,
