Only one screw on the outside. That looks like a good sign.
-
After removing the screw, the three tabs on the back can be unhooked.

What are these strange slots on the bottom of the printer?
-
Answer: according to the existing iFixit guide, they allow access to the tabs holding the cover in place.
-

Now it is time to unlatch two more tabs.
-
The case has started to separate.

Next step: the stepper motor.
-
The drive belt can be easily removed by pressing on a tensioner on the other side of the printer. +1 for reparability!

After removing 4 screws, the stepper motor comes out.
-
-

-
The stepper motor cable is routed through a series of plastic tabs that hold it down.
-
It eventually connects to the (hidden) logic board.

The paper tray has been removed.

This magnificent specimen was found deep inside the paper tray.

The object at the bottom of the last photo was 5 layers of absorbent padding to contain all the ink that the printer has wasted while cleaning its nozzles, in this case almost 8 years of ink.

M62510FP bus termination regulator
-
29LV400TC 8 mBit CMOS flash memory
-

The print head
-
The six lines on the print head visible in the second and third pictures are actually rows of microscopic ink nozzles.

An unusual metal bar in the paper feed path is held in by two screws.
-
-

-
The metal strip contains many spiked wheels rotating on springs which allow them to be pushed out of the feed path.
the spiked wheels seems to be called starwheels, but not sure what they are used for...

-
This inky mess is the nozzle cleaner.
-
The assembly is spring loaded so the nozzles can be pushed into a pad to collect ink, which is then somehow transferred into the large absorbent ink pad.
there should be a waste ink pump and waste ink tube somewhere. The springed structure is for capping the print nozzle to slow down their drying out only, not to suck the ink.

The gearbox is going to be the next thing to be removed...
and the thing where the tube passed through is the pump. That is whats sucking out the ink. It seems to be driven by the main shaft also.
there might be service manual available for those printers online somewhere, and technical details can sometimes be found.

This is what is left of the paper feed mechanism. The circuit board contains two microswitches to detect if there is paper present.

This rod is coated in something that helps it grip onto the paper better.

The main stepper motor, the part most likely to fail, is easy to remove.
-
The ink cartridges are easily replaceable.
-
Many parts inside the printer have ink on them, making repairs messy.
-
The other stepper motor is very hard to access and requires disassembling most of the printer.
-
The midframe, which contains the gearbox and secondary stepper motor, is attached to the case with blobs of melted plastic that must be cut off to remove.
-
The case is very hard and tedious to open without breaking tabs.

-
Bonus Teardown Time!
-
Time to see what is underneath the 'Do not remove' sticker located on the ink cartridge.
-
What is this network of labyrinthine passageways?
-
The answer is a capillary tunnel to reduce ink pressure. The lower row of holes leads into the cartridge itself, while the top row leads to the ink nozzles.
