Are parts available to repair a HP 2671G printer?
I'd like to replace the geared belt that drives the print-head.
I'm not at all sure that the head can be removed from this belt
so I may be talking about a complete head and belt assembly
which I'd assume is unobtainium.
If its just a matter of attaching the head to a replacement
belt, does anyone have the specs or a source for the belt?
Apparently whatever these belts are made of gets old in a
bad way, they become sticky and brittle, both are bad for
drive belts.
Given this, I'm assuming even a new-old stock drive belt would
not be servicable.
Bob,
I just send you a message about this but here's an additional comment.

I took some old belts out of a HP-85 and took them to an industrial
belting company (Florida Belting) and they matched them up with current
production belts. Their belts are orange and I think they're made of Kevlar
so they shouldn't have the melting problem.
