Digital BW, The Print

If you're up to doing that much, and it doesn't work, I had a black 
print head die on my 3000, then it's not much more to fit a replacement, 
a small program to run to program the different print head voltage in 
the machine and some alignment tests.

I have a copy of the program here which I'm pretty sure works for the 
1520 as well and a copy of the service manual as a PDF.
