HP ink cartridge ink explosion has destroyed printhead and probably printer

[inkster7890]

Today when I went to use my printer, it came up with a printhead error and told me to remove ink cartridges and printhead.  When I did so, I discovered that it appeared that one of the black ink cartridges had either leaked or exploded and the inside of my printer is covered in ink.  I use HP ink cartridges.  Although my printer is older and out of warranty, I certainly didn't expect it to be destroyed by an ink explosion.  The mess of ink is visible in the photos.

Has anyone else experienced this?
