While printing, something in the back and forth motion of the cartridge carriage caused the left cartridge snap in holder to break off. Can a new holder be bought.

Does your carriage just move to the right side and get stuck? That's what mine does. I just fiddle with it and wiggle stuff until it's starts working and it'll work until I shut it down but when I turn it back on it starts all over again.

1 Turn on the HP Officejet, and then lift open the print-carriage access door.
The print carriage moves into view.
2 After the carriage stops moving, push down on the top of the print
cartridge to release it, and then pull it toward you out of its slot.
Note: It is normal to see ink buildup in the print cartridge slots.

3 Remove the new print cartridge from its packaging and, being careful to
touch only the black plastic, gently remove the pink tape by using the pull
tab.
Caution! Do not touch the copper contacts or ink nozzles.
Once you have removed the plastic tape, install the print cartridge
immediately to prevent the ink from drying in the nozzles.
4 Hold the black print cartridge with the HP label on top. Slide the print
cartridge at a slight angle into the right side of the print carriage.
Press firmly until the print cartridge snaps into place.
Caution! Do not attempt to push the cartridge straight into the slot.
It must slide in at a slight angle.
5 Hold the tri-color print cartridge with the HP label on top. Slide the print
cartridge at a slight angle into the left side of the print carriage.
Press firmly until the print cartridge snaps into place.
Caution! Do not attempt to push the cartridge straight into the slot.
It must slide in at a slight angle.
Note: You must install both print cartridges in order for your HP Officejet to
work.
