HP 8600 E All in one - is it worth it to replace printhead?

[JRB0329]

So my printer was working fine and then i got a message stating missing or failed printhead -- I tried cleaning it and taking it out and reinstalling but still same message.   The printhead had a lot of ink on the bottom - not sure if that is normal.  At any rate - is it worth spending the 118 to 140 to get a new one or just get a new printer.  Hate to waste all the ink cartridges so debating.  Thank you
