Jan,

CDM 500V looks okay.
I think HBM for commercial apps would be 2 to 2.2KV, and 4.4KV for Miltary applications (CMOS ICs).
For printers, I have seen ESD zaps being applied as air discharge (from a distance
of few mm) and contact discharge(make contact with head). The contact discharge (as I recall)
used to be as high as 5-8kV, and the air discharge ~2-4kV.
I also know that print heads get really hot (>100C ambience for the chips), even with heat sinks -
dont know if that modifies the ESD requirements for the print head chip !! (Eg. No one would want to touch
a hothead anyway!!)

Regards
Krishnan
