We have an inkjet printer (I do not want to talk about that). It went from working fine to working not at all from one minute to the next. Error message was that the printer head is broken. I did not believe that.
We found the same printer online second hand. Took me an hour to go and get it, train and walking. Carried it home in a bag. Perks of living in a bigger city. There's so much second hand stuff.
Contrary to what the seller said, the second printer did not work. But it had another printer head. They are surprisingly easy to remove and replace. We put the second printer head into the old printer, and.. it worked!
Made one working printer from two broken ones! 😆🤩
Total effort around 2 hours and 25 Euros (and we got the ink that's still in the second printer)
