Spares:

HP Partsurfer says "no longer supported by HP as of Mar-31-2010, and service parts may not be available" There may still be some parts in distribution.

Service:

There are limited repair and service options for these printers. For the most part they suffer the same faults as all inkjets - ink dries in the nozzles. This is likely after the printer has not been used for some time and is difficult to shift and possibly uneconomic because of the price of a complete set of inks and heads

Options and Accessories:

Accessories are unlikely to be available new due to the age of these printers.
