@Jen4201, Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding the HP f4180 printer.

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution. We hope our assistance has been helpful! 

While the HP Deskjet F4180 printer is discontinued, it's still possible to find compatible parts and accessories, such as ink cartridges and power cords, through various channels:

1. Ink Cartridges:

   • The HP Deskjet F4180 uses HP 21 (black) and HP 22 (tri-color) ink cartridges. These might still be available on online marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, or through office supply stores.
   • Look for compatible or remanufactured cartridges as a cost-effective alternative, but ensure they are from reputable suppliers.

2. Power Cords:

   • Replacement power cords might be available through electronics retailers or online stores. The printer typically uses a standard HP power adapter, which you can find by searching for the compatible model number specified in the printer's manual.

3. User Community and Support:

   • Many users continue to use older technology until it completely fails, so community forums and user groups can be a good resource for advice and parts.
   • HP's support website might have legacy support documents and troubleshooting guides, which can be useful.

4. Repair Shops:

   • Local electronics or specialized printer repair shops might also have spare parts or can help source replacements.

I hope this helps!

Take care and have an amazing day!
