The drive belt for the printer head carriage broke so the printer can no longer move the printer head carriage (the part that holds the 4 printer cartridges). Can the belt be repaired or replaced? If it can be repaired, what are the materials and directions. If it can be replaced, where do I get the part and the replacement instructions?
Es esta una buena pregunta?

I would check Ebay for the belt. As for the instructions, I would first recommend trying to find a repair manual, seeing as how information on self servicing seems to be limited. I found a couple videos that help a little bit on YouTube. I have changed the clutch drive and the mother board on mine. I have had to just "feel" my way through it because I can't find information for either and I can't find a manual.HP is no help at all with these models because they have been discontinued. When I asked them for where to find the clutch drive, they told me to buy a new printer! I finally found a clutch in China. I looked for a couple weeks here in America, to no avail. The clutch was $18. I found the mother board on Ebay. The original mother board was fine, I broke a piece off and couldn't repair it, so I had to buy one. I wish you the very best of luck.

Melody: Thank you for your reply. It confirms what I found. I'm not really all that interested in becoming a multi-function device / printer repair person so I don't want to put forth the time to go looking for things I'm uncertain even exist. I have replaced my HP printer with an Epson ET-4550 which doesn't use a belt to drive the print-head carriage so won't have the same problem and has the added benefit of not making the terrible racket when scanning the flat glass.

You are very welcome Bob. Hopefully I help others as well. Information has been hard to come by. They most certainly do not want you to service them yourself. They want you to buy a new printer. If it breaks down again, I really don't know if I will be willing to put any more effort into it. Have a great day Bob.
