<x-charset iso-8859-1>I am not familiar with the substance of the MDCA; but aren't we really
talking about Patent law here and not Copyright law, if any laws are being
violated at all?

That is completely wrong.  You own the printer, and as such, you have every
right to modify it as you see fit, as long as you are not breaking any
copyright (or EPA ;-) laws.  The modifications suggested do not violate
anyone's copyright, or any EPA laws.

Your statement is a complete misunderstanding of the MDCA.

Even Talking about such things is a crime under current US law (MDCA)
Just thinking about it may be permissable..  IF you confess before hand
and submit to a manditory voluntary re-education program.

Fair Use?  you have the right to not use it at all..
