Looking for HP C4137A

I’ve been looking at getting some more RAM for my HP LaserJet 1100 (C4224A, not a 1100A) for some time now, but it seems I just can’t find that in France at a decent price. Not even a clone.

An original HP part (16 MB, C4137A) costs about 100-400 USD depending on your vendor. I could find 2 or 3 resellers in France at about 150-200 Euros, but that’s a lot more than what I’m prepared to spend for this printer. Might as well put in the extra 300 Euros it’d cost to get a faster printer (and it would be a color LaserJet, even).

Alternatives are:

  • Smart Modular Technologies: known to work, about 50 USD
  • MemoryX: known to work, about 30 USD, plus 19 USD international shipping
  • Viking: sold on Amazon, known to be incompatible with the LJ1100

I’m >that< close to go and order a module from MemoryX, but the shipping would be 2/3 of the hardware price... which is a bit too much.

The memory needed is a 100-pin EDO DRAM module, which isn't exactly widespread (read: I don't have that lying around in my office).

Hints welcome :-)
