I don't have any first-hand experience with the reconditioned printheads, but if there are quite a few places online that sell them. I'd check out any reviews and if the seller looks legit and the price is low enough, it might be worth a try if all else fails. It would be nice if HP would recondition their printheads.......it would be cheaper for the consumer & better for the environment than tossing out the old ones and possibly the printer as well.
Good Lock!
