Thanks for the responses.

Given that these things will flash their little lights at you even if
the printer isn't oriented to true north, It's odd that a short
circuit wouldn't create all sorts of blinking and carrying on.

Hmmm. Where might a pedestrian like me get one of these control
boards?

(snip)

I saw this sort of problem posted to the Nifty Stuff Forum as well. It was
assumed that a short in the printhead killed the printer and that the second
printer the printhead was put into did the same.

If you are near a Staples store they have the ip4300 printer on sale this
week for $69. You may be able to find the ip4200 still available. I did
see them for $40 a few weeks ago. the ip4300 has smaller nozzles and would
probably print photos better. Both are good general purpose printers with
four dye-based inks and one black pigment-based ink.
