Thanks for the replies.
Beachycove- thanks for the info on the printer drivers, and for confirming that the 2500 driver actually works with the 2200 series. I appreciate that very much. In regards to cleaning the 2200s, I examined the rollers, and the circuit board. I cleaned the rollers with some rubbing alcohol just to remove some potential residue that maybe creating clogging. There does not appear to be any charring/burn on either of the circuit boards. According to the previous owner, these printers were forgotten, and hardly ever used. The only apparent cosmetic damage would be on the 13.5v Apple transformer box, but nothing serious (minor scuff marks). Besides replacing some capacitors, my next theory is that the master switches on the 2200s have been altered (sort of like on the ImageWriter II), which has been removed from its "default setting," and is generating an error message. If this can be confirmed, I would gladly appreciate that.
Applefreak- I have the original Apple manual for the 2200s, and the service manual, but they do not provide any insight on how to repair this problem. The closest Apple document I found pertaining to this problem was the one I mentioned earlier on the "Waste Ink error." Currently, I cannot generate a test page, even with the printer disconnected from the 5215CD. It does not respond at all.
If I bring this printer to a service depot, would it be worth repairing (cost wise), or should I toss them out?
