I have an HP Office Jet Pro 7740 large format printer that has seen little use since I retired. Went to print something the other day and a message appeared - "ink delivery system failure" or something similar, it did identify the cyan and yellow cartridges as the offending cartridges.

I can either replace the entire printer (nearly $400), replace the identified ink cartridges (@ $35 each) or replace the print head and cartridges (@ $150 total).

The printer head is easy to replace . . . about as easy as replacing the ink cartridges.

Any words/thoughts of wisdom as to which direction to head? I do not NEED the/a large format printer any more, but 11 x 17 has been really nice.
