Need a Q5669-60704 media advance drive assy (drives the feed platen and take up roller under the starwheel/bail) as HP decided they don't want to sell it anymore and we have a Z2100 44" that won't feed. The base and gears are fine, I suspect it's a bad servo motor. If anyone has one with a good motor but bad gears or cracked housing that would even work. Prefer new but I'm not doling out $550 for one from the ebay bandits when this motor lists on Encompass as $20 though they show it NLA so I cant even order it from them. HP is such a PITA to deal with anymore which is why I'm going to Canon or Epson for a wide format printer for my own use but this is for repair of a customer's plotter. They are about ready to drop HP as well but the plotter isn't that old and cost them a huge amount. I just replaced the starwheel drive assy for a 47 error which is gone now but no paper/media movement on initialization but nothing is bound or stuck. Weird part is under service tests the stupid drive works and passes. Makes no sense to me.
