Anyone interested in an HP Designjet 5500 60" printer either for parts or as a repair project?
We have a used machine with several new parts that is not currently operational. My boss has decided to upgrade to a newer machine rather than spend any more time fixing this one.
We also have spare ink cartridges and some media available.

Where are you located? Any idea whats wrong with printer? Price?
Re: Designjet 5500 for parts/repair
Located in the Florida panhandle. The printer originally was giving a hard drive failure error. We replaced the drive, main PCA board and trailing cable before narrowing the problem down to the power supply. After replacing the power supply, the printer errors during initialization with a trailing cable error.
The technician we had examine the machine is basically stumped. Instead of continuing to replace parts we decided to upgrade to a new printer. We're interested in selling the whole package if possible - printer, old parts, new parts and existing dye cartridges.
As far as price I'll have to get a figure from my boss - I'm just trying to gauge if there's any interest in the unit.
