New printhead part received, surgery performed.
...
Success - it prints once more!
  • Performed the printer's self-test - "with the printer off, hold down the line-feed button, turn the printer on, and then release line-feed". OK
  • Printed from my DM42 to the printer via infra-red. OK.
The only remaining question I have before I screw it all back together is this small sheet of plastic I found inside the case. It was likely in there before but I don't know where to put it. It has a distinct square edge which suggests it sits somewhere and is held in place - is it meant to protect some component inside?
