Hi...
A friend gave me a HP Photosmart c4480 - Q8383 ... The serial lookup says Q8388A but the tag on the printer says Q8383
It's missing the cartridge cradle. Anyone know where to get one... Google didn't help me...

@Rubulator -- according to: HP Photosmart C4480 All-in-One Printer (Q8388A#ABA) Ink & Toner Supplies
you have a "discontinued" printer. EDIT: It may become difficult/impossible to find genuine HP ink for a discontinued printer.
Note that I think that companies (HP, LexMark, Brother) almost "give away" their printers, and then they make their ongoing profit on selling replacement ink-cartridges to you. So, I recommend that you purchase a new Brother All-In-One. I use "generic" ink, at less than $20 (1 black, 3 unique colours) per "XL" (extra large ink capacity) cartridge, and responsibly recycle your printer at an "end-of-life" electronics location.
List the external power-supply for sale on a site like eBay or Craig's List.
Somebody might pay $20 to $50 if their power-supply dies, and they want/need to buy yours.
