Zurich, Switzerland....
Tell you what I'll do. I just picked up some more HP floppy disk
drives. I haven't cleaned or tested them and haven't even done more than
just glance at them but I think there's a 9122D in the pile. But if you
want to fool with one I'll send it to you for the cost of shipping. They
were surplused and dropped in the sand so there's probably some sand in
them. You'll need to open it up and get out any sand AND while you're at it
you should clean the old grease out of the drive and relubricate it. If I
were you I'd test them in the 9122 drive. Once you know that one or both
are working you can use them externally or pull one out and then install it
in the IPC. I think I have a package on new cartridges, I'll throw one of
them in too.
Meanwhile I verified the printer : out of luck again.....
The cartridge seems ok, movement of printer is Ok, but no output. Time
to measure the flexcable....
If you have NO printed output then I'd guess that the cartridge is bad.
I've never seen a cable bad on all nine channels.
