did you remove anything from the printer like the rollers how did the pcb 
thickness fit.. I dont have an epson printer but I have some hp printers 
that I dont use anymore.. Icant seem to find how the epson printer was 
modified maybe I can adapt the same modification for an hp printer, maybe it 
can be done as from the photos it seems the modification were purely 
mechanical allowing pcb feeding...
