I have a Hewlett Packard Deskjet 5550 printer. Unfortunately, a small, easily accessible and replaceable plastic component has broken rendering the printer unuseable. Does anyone have any information about where I could obtain a replacement part?
The component in question is the tiny, spring-mounted piece of black plastic which pushes against a lug on the colour ink cartridge when the blue locking arm is pushed down and clicked into place.
I built it up with Araldite some time ago, but that has now failed.
It would be so easy to remove one of these silly little pieces of plastic from a "dead" printer and use it to repair mine.
HELP! Anybody????

I know it's a long shot and you live in Belgium but do they have some sort of recycling depots at local refuse tips like we do in the UK? Any chance you could have a word with some one to look out for a 5550?

Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.
Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, our local "dump" has special containers for dead computers etc and I was planning to have a root around there tomorrow.
