If that gear is something that breaks fairly often, make sure you keep a
good one aside. There are companies who will mould up small plastic

about this on one of the classic car lists I'm on, to fix a problem
where little gears in the speedometer drive splitter strip their teeth
and leave you with twitchy steering.

A brand new
one is super-cheap, but newer HP printers are absolute
garbage. That LJ4+ will last practically forever. If you can find a
junker to keep around as a source for parts, you'll be able to keep it
running indefinitely.
and have (safely) stored a new fuser roller, fuser gear and "fuse" gear (the
entire gear train of the 4+ is made of metal, but ONE gear. This gear breaks
if the fuser assembly locks up or something weird happens in the gear
train).
