Color Laserjet 4550n Itb Drawer Plastic Drawer Latch Broken

Can't put in new ITB cassette because I can't open it. Looks like I can get to the two left screws which support it, but the two right screws are under the message panel. I have the plastic piece which brook off, but without being able to open the drawer or access the release, I am stuck. Any idea?

HP spares are available from various suppliers. Google searches or Ebay would enable you to source parts. However you will need a part number for them and that could be found the same way. I could not identify what the specific part you require so cannot offer any more advice. I have attached a link to an installation manual for your printer which would give you an opportunity to identify the specific part name. Then search the web for that item.

This is a link to parts diagrams.

I have been able to obtain spares for older machines than yours from third party spare sellers.

Hope that solves your problem. Please mark as helpful if it leads you to a satisfactory solution.Thank you.
