Can a broken tray that holds the color cartage be repaired?

My friend tried to stuff a black cartage into the color cartage slot and when we took it out a piece broke off. Now it won’t hold a new color cartage. Can the tray and brackets that hold the cartage be replaced?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Yes, but the issue with printers tends to be parts cost vs. whole brand new unit replacement totals out the machine with printers. In addition to that with these HPs unless you can somehow remove the printhead/cartridge carrier from the track belt, encoder strip and support bars without damage you need to change out the entire mech which usually means you need a donor.

Make your friend replace the printer if you really feel like you need to be “made whole” or can’t buy one yourself, or it gets you closure. Even if you just replaced the mech, you still have original waste ink pads and the rest of it is still original. Consumer grade printers are built to be easily recycled on a disassembly line, not repaired. If that was my mistake I’d just buy you a new one from Walmart for $50 and Office Space the one that was broken.
