I'm pretty sure I once experimented with Brother printers and was able to get it to work without the fuser. I guess one way you could do it is to use a datalogger to see what happens with the thermistors and then emulate it with a microprocessor. I believe it was a Brother printer that I once fed a piece of .007 copperclad through and got a perfect print, perfectly fused as it passed through the fuser. I don't believe I ever got that to work with anything other than a Brother.
