Unless you're under manufacture's warranty, home printers are considered disposable. When they break - if you can't fix it yourself, just buy a new one. It takes less time, is more cost-efficient, and is less effort than paying for diagnosis or repair.

So true. This logic also applies, IMHO, to all electronics and appliances that cost $500 or less. Once you start getting into major appliances like refrigerators, washer/dryers look at the age (10+ years, just replace) and the cost of the repair and make an analysis. I have spent $350 to fix, just to have another issue 6 months later at another $350. Cheaper to replace.
