So, does anyone know a website with directions or could give me directions on how to change out the Face-Down upper roller on an HP Laserjet 4200....
Started taking the thing apart and realized I had no clue what I was doing in changing out a metal piece for a different looking plastic piece.
From HP's PartSurfer website: It has an interactive parts diagram. It usually helps me out.
Also, you might want to check out maintenance and cleaning - HP LaserJet 4200 Printer series It has a couple of good documents that just might help you out.
One last thing, did you get this replacement part from HP or from a third-party vendor? Check HP's parts listing above for the correct part number.
Good Luck!
It is the correct HP piece, nothing on replacing it though
What part did u get?Quote:

I would guess you need to pull the top cover, the fuser unit as possibly both side panels to start getting at this exit assembly.
Yeah, I am on HP's forum, these people keep trying to tell me it is one of the small blue feed rollers on the paper trays'. Looks like I am going to have to call them back up, dangit all...
what problem are you having?
When those rollers are moving, an ungodly amount of squeeking
Does it do it when the printer is cycling (like when u 1st turn it on), or only when it is feeding paper?

Got someone over at the HP forums to get me some diagrams, hopefully this will solve it.Quote:

I've tried replacing them, but they cost about 20 bucks and it doesn't fix the problem anyway. That part is the little black clutch that the feed rollers connect to on the trays.
Also, if the diagrams don't help or if you never see them, post again & I'll download the service manual and send you the removal instructions.
Good luck...
Hey pinhead, what part of PA u from?Quote:

Can you tell approximately where the squeaking is coming from? You can narrow down your search by powering it on with the paper tray removed.
Have you already tried a different toner cartridge?
