All HP MFP's have an internal harddrive and will only function as printers if that drive fails. You need to replace the harddrive. It is mounted on the formatterwhich is accessed on the back. First remove the sliding panel and then open the metal door. These are right where the fax and data cables plug in. You can replace the drive with almost any 2.5" IDE harddrive that you can find. The standard model will be either a 20, 30 or 40 gig, I have installed up to 160 gig drives with no problem. Do not order a drive from HP as they will charge several hundred dollars for a drive you should be able to get at any computer shop for less than $75.00. Be cautious removing the drive from the plastic mounts as they are easy to break.
