The HP 1136 fuser drive gear is a component of the fuser assembly in the HP LaserJet Pro 1136 printer. The fuser assembly is responsible for bonding the toner to the paper by applying heat and pressure. The drive gear helps facilitate the movement of the fuser components.

Over time, gears in the fuser assembly may wear out, causing issues like paper jams, poor print quality, or the inability of the printer to complete a print job. If the fuser drive gear is damaged or malfunctioning, it may need to be replaced to restore normal printer function.

Troubleshooting and Replacement:

1. Signs of a Faulty Fuser Drive Gear:

   • Paper jams during printing.
   • Blank or faded prints due to toner not adhering to the paper.
   • Grinding or unusual noises during the printing process.

2. Replacement:

   • You can replace the fuser assembly (which includes the drive gear) if it's faulty.
   • Ensure you purchase the correct replacement part that matches the HP LaserJet Pro 1136 model.
