While printing pictures today, there was a dark band running across the

Anyone knows if the "hard drive kit" sold by QMS / KonicaMinolta for
their 2350 printer series includes any electronics/controller board?.

There is an article on the front page of the business section of today's New
York Times (02/04/06) regarading purchase of refilled cartridges.  They
