Need a part for a Desk Jet 550C, dont know what it is, but i have a picture

im trying to find a replacement part for my old Desk Jet 550C
i think its called a cap, and prevents the cartridge from drying out. 
*sigh*
wont let me insert the image for whatever reason so ill post the direct link
http://i.imgur.com/1OmU0RM.jpg
there are reccessed spaces for 1 rectangular cap on the left (for the black cartridge) and 1 square cap on the right (for the color cartridge)
they are made out of some kind of a rubbery material. i have the cap for the color cartridge, but it is removed currently as i have just washed all the old ink out of it and its still drying.
Edit: more pics, more info
took me about 2 or 3 minutes to safely and carefully get the printer taken apart, at which point i found the missing 'cap'
here is a picture of them both, but the left cap is brittle, and still needs to be replaced if at all possible. (left cap is for the black ink cartridge, right cap is for the color cartridge; both cartridges rest atop these caps to seal the cartridges whenever they are not actively printing on a page)

found a few things also in there that raised a few questions
1: what is this? its is by the back right leg of the printer, on the bottom

2: what are these? are the switches still in the right posistion?

Hi warper10,
I understand that you are looking for parts for your Deskjet 550C. Unfortunately, there are no parts for this printer except ink cartridges, unless you can find someone with this printer.
I can supply this link for the HP DeskJet 550C User's Guide.
Sorry to be the one to give you the bad news.
Regards,
I worked on behalf of HP.

  • I keep getting an error when im answering questions for my chacha job i dont know what it means

    when i go to my dash bored on my chacha account i keep getting this error and i dont know what it means
    Error: "CustomXML()" don't work in Firefox/Mozilla toolbar version.
    Please use "setCustomXML(sName, sXMLData)" instead.
    that is the error i get
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Hello Cassie.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • I need to update software on my MAC and dont know whats needed.

    I am still running the 10.5.8 asnd have itunes 10.6.3, and am unable now to use itunes to sink to devices. I have tried to download a more recent version of itunes but was unsuccesful in the install. I see there is updates I can download( and need) but need to know where to find these. I will continue to search through discussions, but would appreciate some help.
    Thank You

    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Other countries...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

  • I need some parts for my MuVo V100, can anyone help?

    I need some parts for my MuVo V00, can anyone help I couldn't find any thread this would belong in, but if I've made a mistake, I'm sorry.
    I have a Creative Labs MuVo V00 2 gig player. I love it. The only problem is that the back peice of plastic that holds the battery in somehow has fallen off and has disappeared. I really, really, would like to replace it, but I can't find anywhere where parts like this are sold.
    So, does anyone know where I can buy this part Or does anyone have one they are willing to sell me If I have to get the whole little "docking bay" that holds the batery and the unit, that would be fine too. I'm not going to pay huge money for it, seeing that I can still get a new one at a few places, but if anyone has one that broke, or that they just aren't using, and wouldn't mind making a few bucks + postage, I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks for your time.

    Re: I need some parts for my MuVo V00, can anyone help As far as I'm concerned the subject is closed. I was just irritated that I asked for help, and got some glib little reply, telling me something that anyone who's been on the internet for more than ten seconds should know about. Because to be honest, him replying with those three words, might have made someone overlook the post, thinking, "Someone is handling that, let's move on." Someone who actually might have what I needed.
    But, as it turns out, I could order a reconditioned MuVo from Creative directly for about 6 bucks. (vs. 45+ if I'd gone through ebay) so the problem is resolved. If I could figure out a way to erase this entire post, I would do it. If you can do so, being a mod, I would appreciate it.
    Sorry if I upset you Loi-CL, I understand you're a moderator, but I don't take kindly to being treated like I'm stupid and that's exactly what coachop94 was doing. If he didn't have anything important or useful to tell me, he could have just skipped over my post.

    Hi there,
    I bought My Iphone 4s from Iran, I need to make an Apple Id but Iran is not in the registered countries?! I dont know what to choose? Also From Iran we do not have Credit card facility for payment option?!! Any idea how I can get FREE APPS on my New Phon?!!

    You can create an Apple ID without a credit card, see this article:

  • I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

    I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?

    If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
    Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
    Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

  • HT204053 How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone.  Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

  • I have a Mac i5 and need to download the application 'Numbers' but everytime I try to do so, it says can't do as the ver 2.2 for the app needs new software 'Snow Leopard'. I don't want to upgrade but dont know what to do??

    i have a Mac i5 and need to download the application 'Numbers' but everytime I try to do so, it says can't do as the ver 2.2 for the app needs new software 'Snow Leopard'. I don't want to upgrade but dont know what to do??

    If your profile is correct you're already on the final version of Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Sure it wasn't Lion it was asking for?
    If that's the only version available on the app store, you'll need to source a copy of the iWork '09 DVD - not cheap now - only available via Amazon or eBay etc.

  • Most of App free for my Mac air appear to my in topic free but i have to paid to get it i need help ?

    most of App free for my Mac air appear to my in topic free but i have to paid to get it i need help ?

    The Apple apps that appear in the Free app section are not normally free and they are free only to people who qualify. To qualify you must have bought a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. Or you must have the older version of these apps on your Mac when you upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9, after which you get the Mavericks versions for free.
    If you qualify for free apps the Buy button sats free. If the Buy button has a price, you do not qualify for these apps for free.

  • Hi all, i need urgently your help please. My touch screen on muy Iphone 5  is not working, i dont understand as it has not been damaged at all, i dont know what happened and need urgently somebody helps me please

    Please anyone there can help me what I can do??!! touch screen of my Iphone 5 is not working at all and dont understand as it has not been damage and it is only 2 months and half!! it is not an old iphone and it has not been damaged, has happened right now and cannot turn off the mobile at all. Tried to take out the nano sim as i though it will be turned off but it has not been! i dont know what i can do and i am desesperate!!! thanks All for your help!!

    Removing the SIM has no affect on the power of the phone. It is just the part that facilitates connecting to your carrier. Try holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo on the screen and then release the buttons. The phone should reboot. You may need to hold the buttons together for 15-30 seconds.
