how to control an inkjet catridge?

Hello, Might someone happen to know a way to control the inkjet cartige with pulse signals instead of the computer? would like to build a circuit for that purpose. I want to be able to "shoot" ink droplets from all the nozzles at the same time. I need to know how to operate each of the pizo crystals, and

then to operate them all. I guess I can measure the electrical signal coming from the contacts that match up with the ones on the cartridge, but always much easier, if someone already has that information... Thanks, Hanan.

Different printers use different technology. Yours may not even be piezo-electric - unless you know for sure. Some are constant current, rather than constant voltage, driven.

I would measure it. Shouldn't take long. Be a shame to build something and then find out that the info you based it on was duff gen.
