HP CLJ5500 lower tray - which one?

[dgsmith]

We're looking for prices on a lower tray for a HP CJ5500 printer we hope to acquire in the near future, however I am rather confused by conflicting part numbers and very varying prices!

 

Initially, I found it on the HP product code C7130B, and prices from BT Business and ebuyer came in just over the £400 mark - ouch! I saw the same one at Misco for around £360 (still too much), but not as bad.

 

Then I see this at insight, also a papertray for this printer, but at less than £220, with a different product code too?

 

What is the right tray for this printers, what is the right product code, and is the correct tray compatible with both the 5500 and the 5550 series?

 

Lastly, I am looking for a cheap one, even refurbs are considered. Besides ICT-Direct (who I am already asking, as I hope to get the printer from John here!), could anyone suggest where else these may be obtainable from? We'd sooner wait to buy one at a fair price than pay some of the extortionate prices I have seen already!

I think the insight one you list is just the cassette - the only code I can find anywhere for the tray assembly is the C7130B one.

Thanks Simon - i've sent you a PM to price for a few other things too!

Yes this was my thought - maybe it is just literally the tray plastics and not the entire assembly. Quite frustrating when trays for most other printers don't even touch the £300 mark, yet for these printers you're expected to pay a premium
