HP Color Printers
Home
HP Color LaserJet 4500/4550: Both of these use the same fuser (RG5-5154).
HP Color LaserJet 8500/8550: Both of these use the same fuser (RG5-3060).
HP Color LaserJet 4600/4650/5500/5550: Four very similar printers, four different fusers. None of them
interchange. Part numbers are:
Model Fuser
HP CLJ 4600 RG5-6493
HP CLJ 5500 RG5-6848
HP CLJ 4650 RG5-7450
HP CLJ 5550 Q3984A
HP Color LaserJet 1500/2500/2550: The 1500 and 2500 both use the same fuser (RG5-6903). The 2550
fuser (RG5-7572) does not interchange with the other two.
HP Color LaserJet 3500/3550/3700: All these printers use the same fuser (Q3655A).
HP Color LaserJet 2800AiO series: All use the same fuser (RG5-7602).
IBM/Lexmark 4019/4029: These printers are nearly obsolete, but some of the fusers are still available.
The 4029 came in four models: 4029-010, -020, -030, and -040. The -010 and -020 models used the same
fuser as the 4019. That fuser came in two versions, with and without an envelope-conditioning solenoid.
Only the version without the solenoid is still available—part number 1381889. The 4029-030 and -040
models use a different fuser, part number 1383522.
4037-5E: This one of a kind printer uses the 1381621 fuser, but the printer is obsolete and the fuser is no
longer available.

4039/4049 (Optra L & Optra R series): These printers look similar to the 4019 and 4029—and so do the
fusers—but there is no interchange. The 4039 and 4049 came in a bewildering variety of models, but they
split into 3 basic groups, according to engine speed, and each group has its own fuser:
Optra E and E Series: These are small “personal” printers, similar to the HP LaserJet 5L/6L. There are
many different models in the series, with very little fuser interchange (Figure 1).
Optra K 1220: This one of a kind printer uses the 11A4321 fuser, but the printer is obsolete and the fuser
is no longer available.
Optra M410/412: These printers are similar, but their fusers are different and do not interchange. The
slower M410 (12 ppm) uses the 12G3982 fuser; the faster M412 (17 ppm) uses the 12G3984 fuser.
Optra N: As we mentioned last month, this fuser (11A8233) interchanges with the fusers from the HP
LaserJet 5Si (RG5-1863) and 8000 (RG5-4447). Any of these three fusers will work in any of the three
printer types. This is the only Lexmark fuser that interchanges with any HP fuser.
Optra S: There are many models in this series, but they divide naturally into five groups. In each group,
the first two digits of the model number indicate the engine speed in ppm. The 16xx and 18xx groups
share the same fuser; otherwise, each group has its own fuser, and these generally do not interchange
with the other groups.
Optra T: The four basic models of the Optra T use two fusers. The Optra T610 and 612 use the 99A1969
fuser, while the Optra T614 and 616 use the 99A1977 fuser. The two fusers do not interchange.
T Series: This series evolved from the Optra T printers, and a group of printers that they generally look
very similar to. The fusers, however, are different and do not interchange with the Optra T fusers. For the
most part, they also do not interchange with each other.
