Printer stepper motors

[OliTech]

Hello
I am looking for some advice with regard to the use of printer stepper motors in building a 3D printer. I have dimantled a couple of old printers that I had one being an old A3 HP pen plotter and the other one was a Epson 1520 ink jet printer.
The stepper motors on the HP are 6 wire which consist of a twisted pair that connect to shaft output end of the motor which look like the power supply to the motor and a 4core tape that connects to a circuit board mounted on the back of the motor. The Epson stepper motors are 5 wire. I would be pleased if anybody could provide me with the specification for the HP stepper and also if the 5 wire stepper motor is suitable and also what type of controller boards would be suitable.
Thanks to all the other posts on this subject which have been very helpfull to a complete novice.
Regards Phil
