I was reading about the error and another user had an issue with the swing guide plastic falling into the pickup assembly...the swing arm on this printer has in similar shape with the plastic being brittle (I had to use new larger self-tapping screws to fix it properly).
I did this this morning, it only took about 20 mins and was my first time doing this beyond the swingarm guide and removing the Image Drive assembly which gave me some practice :). It's really an easy job IMHO if you have the HP manual downloaded.
Took off the right cover, the right swing arm, left swing arm (probably not needed), the swing rod guide, the unclipped the harnesses on the pick up/feed assembly as well as unloomed the harness and the 5 screws that hold it. Then two more on the solenoid behind it and a cable or two...then that gear that was right off the solenoid had a visible offending piece of plastic, this step is page 224 in the repair manual, steps 16-19 ish, the double gear assembly that is there when you remove the pickup solenoid had the sliver of plastic from the swing arm assembly between the two gears.
Prints great again. The swing arm assembly seems to be falling apart on alot of these...may explain the large amount of 59.99 errors being reported lately.
