If my C7280 isn't worth messing with, are there any good color all-in-ones (either inkjet or laser) that have all the features that it has (including cheap and plentiful aftermarket ink available on Amazon and LD Products)? My budget is $200 or under. Do you think either option is worth the hassle on my now 9 year old printer with a dead fax module?

I also found another video showing how to remove the printhead and rinse it. I found a video on Youtube where a guy who had a clear refillable HP 02 cartridge set injected into them a solution of distilled water, ammonia (he also said Windex would work too) and 70% isopropyl alcohol, but it took him a few hours to do the cleaning. This self-test report shows that about 30+% of the nozzles on the black head aren't printing, even after many head cleaning cycles. I ran one of the hidden nozzle self-test reports (hit * and # on the keypad, enter 123 on the keypad, it's under one of the menu areas). The black printhead appears to be clogged (I've done quite a few printhead cleaning cycles tonight and wasted a good bit of color ink, no real improvement on the black printing).

My HP Photosmart C7280 all-in-one is nearing its end I think. Merry Christmas folks (for those that observe it)!
