HP PSC 2210 Cartridge Latch

[aykocm]

Hi,

The color cartridge latch of my HP PSC 2210 all-in-one printer is
broken.
I've already found out that it's not possible to order this part from
HP anymore.
I would hate to dump the printer just because of a small plastic part!

Here are the details:

Model Name: HP PSC 2210
Model Number: C8654A
Part Number: C6490-60012

Any advice on how to fix the unit or at least find the spare part will
be greatly appreciated...

Many thanks in advance,
Aykut

1. Find a junk printer with the same mechanism and transplant the latch.
2. Go to a hobby shop with the parts and ask what solution they
recommend. I have found that hobby shops carry specialized adhesives
that are similar to industrial versions of common name-brand products.
These work much better.

Will a bit of tape work? I don't know the printer, but sometimes you
just gotta be innovative to get around these things.

Send me a private email with more details - exactly which part is broken,
including a pic if possible. If you are in the US send me your snail mail
address as well and I will see what I can do.
