HP4550n colour laser printer to tear down for parts

[Jonathan Oxer]

I have an old duplex colour network laser printer sitting in the
garage that's not worth putting back into service, but it has lots of
interesting bits in it (stepper motors, etc) so I wondered if anyone
wanted to pull it apart.

It's an HP 4550n with a duplexer module, which looks like this:

It does actually work so if you really want it as-is to use as a
printer you could, but the drum is dusty so it leaves big marks down
the page and it's slow and noisy. I don't recommend taking it to use
as a printer, it's not worth the effort. More fun as parts.

So if anyone would like to pull it apart, please speak up and I can
drop it off at the space. Otherwise it'll go out with the rubbish.

Cheers
