I'll look.  My main point was that the lifetime and usefulness was 
further limited most likely to those who can life extend those parts, 
which weren't that numerous among us.

I might know where an Apple printer is, but not sure i we took it. The 
one with the Laserjet 2 Canon engine.  Not what you're after, but 
possibly interesting.

There seems to be a lot of cartridges turning up though.  Those would 
probably be interesting as well if you had the emulated engine.
