Thanks again for the replies.
Bunsen & AppleFreak- I followed your instructions on printing out a test page on the 2200. On one of my 2200s, the printer did not show an error light at startup, and after holding the power button for several seconds, then releasing it, the printer attempted to feed the single sheet of paper, but failed, and automatically shut itself off. I attempted to help guide the sheet through the feeder, but no success after several attempts. The other 2200 simply shows the error light, even after holding down the power button for over 30 seconds. It does not load the sheet of paper at all, but does not shut itself off.
Beachycove- I will look into bringing in both 2200s to a printer repair depot. The only advantage with these units is that they are rebranded Canon printers, so parts availability should not be scarce. If the cost is unrealistic (i.e., $60 just to examine what the problem is), then I will most definitely consider selling both units on the forum, in addition to one of the 13v adapters. I just realized, however, that the 2200's power supply is rated at 13v, while the 1500's is rated 13.5v. I don't see why there would be a difference in voltage rating. This was clearly a stupid move on Apple's engineering part.
I own an eMate 300, and by far it has been a pleasure to use in school for lectures. The battery life is phenomenal (I have not charged it in over 2 weeks, and it still works!), and the text quality is great when I print off of my LW300. BTW, I know this is a bit off topic, but would it be possible to hookup an ImageWriter II to an eMate? Did the driver for that printer ever come with the eMate connectivity disk, or software in general?
