Don’t waste your time David. They’ve got us by the short hairs. I ended up purchasing the HP-9015 and turning off all communications between the printer and HP. If you call the company they may offer you a deal which is worth checking while you’re on the phone with them. Calling Tech Support is really like calling the Sales Dept. They know more about what to sell you than what the problem is with your printer. Planned Obsolescence, Silicon Valley style!
jferg919, So much for An KA's answer. According to HP you cannot purchase the part I was after. CN751-8007 (Encoder Strip). What HP does is upsell you to a new printer. They give you a discount. Unfortunately, I too had this issue today. I think HP takes a paper jam to their advantage and really shreds the paper so you have to get every last piece of paper out of the inside of the printer path or it just happens again. For me on the third try I pulled at what is called this Encoder Strip. It tore the hole that catches a piece of metal. I took some 3M packing tape and stuck it to both sides of the end (twice) to fix the tear. You do not need to take the printer apart. It takes a bit of doing but if you take off the part in the back (the one you remove in case there's a paper jam) and lay it on its back you should be able to reach down inside the unit to reattach the vinyl strip . Open the door to the ink cartridges. Take the ink cartridges out of the holder. On the right of that holder there's a small arm...
Successfully installed a WD 6TB Blue. There were two tools that I found very helpful beyond the iFixIt kit that I have. One is called a “seam ripper”. Ask your Mom because I’ll bet she has one in her sewing kit. It was instrumental in removing cable bundles 2 & 3. I also had a long-handled pair of Hemostats aka, “roach clip”. Those were helpful in maneuvering the rubber chocks that fit the bottom of the new drive you are installing.
One last thing, take your time when you’re trimming the rubber chocks top and bottom. Those are the shock absorbers for the hard drive and if they do not perfectly fit the new HD, you will be packing 12 lbs od sausage into a 6lb skin.
I just want to also thank Cascade and the other contributors for all the tips and nuances of this fix.
Not to disparage commerce for the good people of iFixit but check this link before you take the plunge to repair your 13” MacBook Pro Model A1706. It might qualify for a free repair.
I installed (12/12/16) a Western Digital 3TB AV 3.5" 64MB WD30PURX (purple surveillance HD) successfully. $106.99 at B&H in NYC. Special thanks to Ray Haverfield for guiding me in on that purchase.

I used a block to lean the cover on so it didn't fall completely flat on the surface. The wire connecting the fan is too short for that.
