A customer called to report she was having trouble with their HP PSC 1315 printer. She wanted to know where she could get some replacement parts to repair the printer herself.

We are all about the ‘do-it-yourself’ mentality, but in the case of printer repair it is not always the best idea. Often times you will spend more on parts than you would to purchase a new printer. In the case of the HP 1315 you can now purchase that printer for under $100.00. You can buy equivalent printers for slightly more. Factor in paying a repair person and you will definitely exceed the $100 threshold.

As we don’t have any information as to where you can pick up spare printer parts we advised her to recycle the broken printer through HP’s recycling web site and go out and buy a new printer.
