Is This Even Possible?

I have a Photosmart 3210 All-In-One. After much troubleshooting both on my own and with technicians from Linksys and HP, I have determined that the network card has probably gone bad.

 

Is there a way to replace the card in the printer in a cost-effective manner (as in, less than the replacement cost of an equivalent printer, as these particular printers are apparently no longer being manufactured)?  I'd rather not have to buy a whole new printer, and sharing it out via one particular computer is just not a user friendly option in our current situation.

 

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Re: Is This Even Possible?

The Ethernet port on the 3210 is built into the printer's main circuit board (MPCA). There's no cost effective way to repair this.
