Prices noted are for a new item, one off, without tax. The list is as encountered. We haven't bothered with currency conversion - half of our readers are outside the UK and are more interested in dollar prices.

None of the websites seen gave any further information on the product - but perhaps that is obvious in this case. A few listings price on request. No helpful blogs on this part. All the rest were merely vendors giving no more information than found in the HP brochure.

Environment and Circular Economy

Plastic parts like this are annoying. They aren't things of beauty, it would almost be possible to use any piece of plastic with vents in it in this role. It would be difficult to sell a printer that looked as though it were made of such things. Good looks therefore require this special piece of plastic with a curved back and little hooks - but no printer actually looks that good. It is difficult to see what future use these could have except plastic recycling.

Marked as #1-2>ABS-FR(40)< and the part numbers RC2-2468 and RC2-5757.

Supply Situation

This sort of part is unique to HP, however they are not the only possible supplier as there will be a supply of "refurbished" parts - ie cosmetically acceptable parts from decommissioned machines.

It would be unusual to need this part as it is quite robust, however it is removable so machines exposed to the public might suffer vandalism. We pretty much wrote it up for completeness though.
