My left hinge also broke today. Amazing how it seems to always be the left one in most of these posts. Mine was simple to fix. Took the hinge cover off (1screw). Lifted the door on that side enough to pop out the bottom piece of the hinge with my fingers. It came right out easily. Left the springs where they were (just because they weren't creating any problem) and everything works fine.

Hinge fix works great! We have 2 of these printers and the plastic hinges broke when replacing the ink cartridges in both about 3 months apart. Mine on the right hinge and the other on the left hinge. We've done lots of scan, print, and copy jobs with both and we are not having any issues with our hinge fix, purchased from the home depot. Great multifunction machines but Crappy plastic hinges! The metal ones should outlast the printer.
