39 forum posts	Hi I stripped 2 Epson printers this week, springs, round bar, collars to slide on the bar and 4 stepper motors. I ordered darlington driver boards to run the steppers, £1 each. Then discovered the motors take 700mA and the 2003 chip only sinks 500mA so will have to double up channels. George
