Printer Magenta Port Leaking

[jonathan.perske]

I have an HP Officejet 6600 and recently a notice popped up saying that something is wrong with the ink system and i should turn the printer off and on again, and if the problem persists to contact HP. well turning it off and on did nothing and after several tries i just took all the ink cartridges out to have a look. and i noticed that the input for the magenta ink is leaking a lot. i dont think it is the cartridge as i went into our ink recycling bag and the magenta carts for the past several months all have ink residue on the bottom but none of the other colors. with this info i believe the ink input port for magenta is either defective. is there any way to fix this or do i just new to get a new printer??

You'd have to track down spare parts for the thing and replace the assembly, probably easier and not much more money to just replace it. 4-6 years is not a bad lifespan for an inkjet printer.
