Wanted: Replacement scanner lamp for HP OfficeJet G85
A colleague was kind enough to give me his old G85, which is a Printer/Fax/Copier/Scanner. He warned me that the scanner lamp didn't work, and that it is impossible to get a replacement from HP. I thought it would still be useful as a printer, fax and copier. Of course, I forgot that copying and sending faxes also require the scanner lamp, so all I have, in effect, is a huge footprint printer (and a fax receiver, I suppose).
So, does anyone have an old G85 with working scanner lamp that I can cannibalise?
