Yes, I think the original HP adapter was also AC. But DC works too through the FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER!! It is NOT a puny single-diode rectifier. Smile

(So also, it doesn't care about any centre positive vs centre negative nonsense!)

Actually, come to think of it, I wonder what rating the bridge rectifier has, and could it be damaged by a beefy PSU when printing without batteries?

I don't know the maximum but it works fine with no batteries and only my 2A supply for power. I've been running it that way for about seven years now.
