I have T1200 scanner printer. It says i need to replace the lamp and air filters along with  a Maintenance Kit #1. Where do i get these and can i put them in myself?

Hi @Mholn22 

The lamp and Maintenance kit 1 are the same thing, this is the part number Q1277-60013 Scanner lamp since this scanner was discontinued by HP some years ago you will need to find it with a reseller.

The lamp is a customer replacement part you can follow the user guide steps to replace it.

You'll want to do some research before you buy the OEM lamp.  There's a lot of different pricing out there.  

Someone might be able to come on here and add information on where to buy.  I've heard stories that people have replaced them with regular flourescent tubes from a hardware store but I don't know the specifics.  Hopefully someone who's tried that will chime in.

I was asked to pass this info on from another forum member:

"Would you mind relaying this to them, what I told you back in July.

If you need a lamp, I last got them from these guys:    Think they are about $20 a piece now, went up a bit."

I've never tried this myself but Paul has and has had positive results.  YMMV.

Regarding above lamp alone replacement, it is on "backorder" at ADL Supply (I think you have to buy a box of 5.).    It might be available at this site below although it is in Slovenia and the price is in euros, I think, about 24,02 euros (about $27 plus or so USD; I THINK you can buy them individually.):

FWIW, for the filters, I bought a 15x24 sheet of Kwik Kut Foam / KK500 (window or wall room air conditioner filter) from Ace Hardware and cut squares to fit.  Probably not the best but seems to work.
