HP Recommended

Hello, all,

 

I'm looking to buy a printer and I came across a second-hand HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color M551. I was wondering if I could add a duplexer (and also a network card maybe) to it after I buy it? It wasn't factory fitted with them, but it's got a really good price and was thinking of going ahead with buying it, but the no duplex is a deal breaker for me.

Does anyone have any info on this?

 

Thanks!

no you cannot retrofit. The drive mechanism is different.
