This is going to be short and to the point.  The based HP photo smart, Officejet and other brands of ink based machines (except for Brother brand – will explain in a minute) are considered THROW-AWAY machines once the fail due to a broken or worn out part.  Plan and simple there are NO parts for these machines unless you cannibalize a same model machine.

As an authorized repair center, HP does not offer parts for their photosmart, officejet machines and deskjets.  The same holds true for Epson Stylus, Canon Multipass and other brands of ink based machine. The only exception to the rule is Brother MFC, DCP and PPF printers copiers and faxes.

Only Brother offers all parts needed to authorized repair centers for their line of Brother all in one MFC’s and DCP machines.  However due to the low cost of the Brother MFC machines, it does not always make sense to repair them.   We always advise to get extended warranties on all ink based HP photosmart, Officejets, Deskjets, Brother MFC all in ones and other brands of ink based printers.

But be careful of the service plan to make sure it includes shipping costs or On-site printer repair (at your location). Remember the ink based HP printers and Epson Stylus and Brother MFC’s are designed for very low volume usage (5 to 15 pages a day).  They are very costly to operate (per page cost) and has an estimated life of less than two years.
