I have a strange request. One way to put images on ceramic pottery is to print something using an older laserjet printer. To make sure the image transfers well, the fuser needs to be disabled so the image is not bonded to the paper and will transfer to the wet clay.
I have an old HP 1200 (still working) that I want to use for this. I need to disable the fuser without allowing the printer to know so it doesn't disable the print function. I can unplug the fuser power connector and the printer will print a couple of pages before the printer stops functioning. (In a less than ideal situation, that could work since it isn't likely that many copies will be made at any one time.)
I would like to get a copy of the schematic for the fuser circuitry so I can figure out how to make the printer think the fuser is up to temperature when it is in fact disabled. ....Or if anyone already know how to do that please let me know.
Thanks.
