does anyone know if it is safe to yank the logic board

LaserJet II and stick it into an Apple Laserwriter II NT. I know they are
the same printer engine, with just minorly different features (Apple has
no font slots for instance).
No, you can't the connectors from the logic board to the print engine are
different.
I have a pseduo broken HP and a fully working Apple,
but I want the
parallel interface. So rather than buying a kit to fix the paper pickup
problem the HP has, I was thinking of just swapping logic boards.
If yours has the standard HPLJ-II paper pickup problem, you can get a
bottle of rubber renu and thoroughly clean the pickup roller and that will
usually fix your problem. if that isn't the problem, email me with what is
broken, i -MAY- have spare parts here in a LJ-II I have with a fried logic
board that I use for donor parts.
Is this possible? or will I blow something? (I'd
rather not just blindly
experiment, since I am running short of working laser printers, and can't
afford to trash these)
