Canon IP4200 - do USA models have the CD rollers installed? Spare parts?

[TechD]

Hi, I was looking at the problems with the fact USA Canon printers dont have
CD Printing enabled, and the 4000 series has a blanking plate and is missing
a set of extra rollers as standard and the CD tray - and the point that
people appear to pay for these items from european sellers.

Whilst I have seen comments that the rollers are not strictly needed - as I
have a non-working 4200 printer series printer (head totally ruined - no
advice needed on trying to clean etc please)- UK model - I wondered if it is
likely that anyone would be interested in any "bits" from inside - and if
so which are the most likly bits to sell and price estimate to recoup some
of my outlay. (I have already given the cd tray and carts to someone).

I haven't yet got the screwdriver out on the printer - as I thought I'd wait
for some comments from people who could highlight exactly what to remove and
cost effectively post around the world if needed rather than the whole 5kg
printer.

Thanks

TD

Firstly, Canon does replace printheads while under warranty, sometimes
beyond. This printer is definatly less than a year old, so this
shouldn't be a problem.

Secondly, The "bit" needed for CD printing is the tray on the ip4200.
There is nothing on the printer it self that is required. N.A. models
have rollers onboard. The "chips" on the cartridges might be handy
for someone who refills.

On that note.. I'm after empty cartridges if you have any.. Wasting my
full ones seems a bit daft so if you want a home for them I'll gladly
pay the postage..
