FAQ

Is your printer repairable? While some printer models can be repaired, many are not due to the unavailability of parts. In certain instances, the cost of the required parts exceeds the price of a new printer, making it more economical to invest in a replacement machine.

The average cost to repair a printer and get it functioning again ranges from Rs 200 to Rs 500, which includes both parts and labor. Printer repair technicians usually charge between 100 and 300 per hour for labor, and most issues can be resolved within 1 to 2 hours.

A useful guideline is that if the repair costs for your printer exceed half the price of purchasing a new machine, it may be more sensible to invest in a new one.

Malfunctioning printers can also be addressed at HP’s repair center through their repair and return offer. Customers can request service on an individual basis as needed, with the added benefit of a 6-month warranty for repairs or a 12-month warranty for replacement parts.

The average lifespan of a printer is approximately 3-5 years. While some printers can endure longer with proper upkeep and maintenance, eventually, upgrading your machine becomes necessary.

Most printers will cease functioning when they run out of paper, ink, or toner, or if the unit detects an issue with the ink or toner cartridge. In such cases, you may receive an error message or notice blinking green or amber lights on your printer.

A Printer Technician is a professional responsible for installing new printers, configuring printers on networks, and maintaining the proper function of standalone printers, scanners, or network printers. They handle regular and routine repairs, including replacements such as new ink cartridges.
