Hp laserjet 4000/4050/4100 series - deleting duplexer function and going back to normal paper handling

I've acquired a good used HP 4100dtn mono laserjet that has a problem with the duplexer jamming when it tries to print a job.

Everything else about the printer checks out and it's basically in excellent condition apart from the duplexer issue.

To *delete* the duplexer and restore the printer to *normal* paper handling what do I need to get to replace the duplexer? If I can find another used printer esp another 4050 or 4100 without the duplexer I can grab the parts from it.

Anyone with deep knowledge of these high quality printers know where to get the suitable parts to remove the duplexer function?

Thanks.

Don't focus on the hardware issue. Just change your software settings, not to use the duplexing function.

@Northwest I'm also trying to get it talking to my PC. Printer only supports hardwired connection so I'm think hardwired ethernet to my router, and configure PCL driver on my Toughbook once I find one (maybe HP genuine?) to talk to it via wi-fi. I tried connecting printer direct to PC's ethernet port but PC thought it was a router I'd connected and dropped the wi-fi.
