and add a spring?

The current idler is physically limited in its travel, adding a spring
there would not help unless I put a longer rod AND cut a hole in the case
for the belt and idler to travel through!!!

Maybe the Aussies make them stock parts?

I rang up Parts Overnight. Initially they wanted to charge me $30 for
the belt, until I directed them to the price list they had posted on
their own web site. They then told me there was a minimum $20 order,
and that the part was not in stock. Maybe the part is actually
obsolete - I don't think they'll know until such time as someone tries
to order it.

If you can locate the stocking warehouse, maybe someone local can pick
one up and mail it to you. But it looks like Lexmark is another bad
operator, no?

Parts Overnight are a different company. They claim to provide parts
for Lexmark, HP, Canon, Epson, and Fuji Xerox. As it is, I need a part
(220V heating element, p/n RG5-1965-HE) for a HP Laserjet 5L/6L, but
they don't list it. Had they stocked one, I would have ordered it and
helped the OP at the same time. BTW, there is a person selling heating
elements from an Australian based Ebay store, but he stopped
communicating with me after I asked whether he could do COD.

As for Lexmark, I had to speak to three different people, in three
different areas, and wait on three queues, before the last person told
me to ring Parts Overnight.

The blooming e-mail includes, in line, copies of all of the previous

must be due to a loose nut on the keyboard!.

What is that one again? "Problem exists between keyboard and chair"?
