I brought my 130 into a HP certified repair shop and they confirmed that it does need a new CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY WITH TRAILING CABLE - for about $500-600. Needless to say I'm not happy.
I found a refurbish CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY WITH TRAILING CABLE for about $150. and I have a repair manual, so I might take a try at repairing myself. If this attempt fails, what is a good reliable lower end HP printer? Or should I defect and look at Epsons or Canons?
