Will this duplexer fit?
I currently have an HP Photosmart C4680 printer and am looking to get a duplexer for it. I have already bought one (the one here: http://www.amazon.com/HP-ph5712-duplexer-Q5712A-A2... ) and it turned out to be the wrong one so I am sending it back. I have continued to look for one and have found this one: http://www.amazon.com/HP-Duplexer/dp/B0018WRNN6/re... . Although it appears that it will fit (based on the shape), I am not certain if it will fit, since nowhere seems to say what printers it is compatible with. Does anyone know if it will work?
Thanks for replying. Actually, despite the fact that there doesn't seem to be anywhere that has this information, it does definitely support a duplexer. Just looking at the back, there is the space available for it, plus the contacts meant for the duplexer. In addition, when I go into settings on the printer, it even allows me to enable an automatic duplexer. I know the shape of a duplexer doesn't necessarily mean it will fit, but there are very few duplexers for HP in the first place and this is the only one that appears that it will fit.

From what I could find on your particular printer model, it does not support an automatic duplexer. There are no accessories for duplexing available per HP's documentation. The duplexers you've found are for other model printers that are designed for them, but your printer does not appear to support a duplexer. Sorry.
Shape & size of a duplexer does not dictate if it will work with a printer or not.
The first duplexer you found works with these printers:

The second one doesn't have any usable part numbers or information associated with it to find out what it is compatible with.
UPDATE:
Interesting. Well, since it does have an option for the duplexer in the settings, it would seem to suggest that one is available then, but I couldn't find anyplace that mentioned it. The best thing to do next is to actually call HP and see if they can provide you a part number to order.
