Hello,
With the printer being as old as it is, you most likely won't be able to get replacement parts for it. I did some checking around, and can't find anything as far as parts.

HP/Compaq does not have drivers for Windows 7. If your computer does not recognize your printer and install a driver when you plug it in then I would recommend trying the driver for Windows XP which can be found here.

Hi There, This printer is a Reamed LEXMARK Printer. they have all the printer inks for this unit on

I see that many, many people have problems making their "Old" XP Drivers work under windows 7. Here is how to Install them so they work. Download your XP driver you wish to install. If it's in a zip/rar file then extract it to your desktop. You should have a simple .exe file sitting on your desktop to install the drivers, as normal for XP. Right click the .exe file and select "Properties". Then select the tab called "Compatibility" Now check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" Make sure "Windows XP Service Pack 2" is highlighted. Now apply the settings and run the installer. This should work for most drivers, but not all. make sure you install and run all.any programs as Administrator.

have you unplugged the printer and let it sit for 30 minutes? try that and plug it back into the power only!then check to make sure you have the right printer drivers for the printer. is this printer a refurbished printer? youll find a "refurbished" sticker on the bottom of the printer if it is. sometimes a refurbisher switches out the motherboard for another type. this means that the driver is also changed. if you have the right drivers then turn on the pc. turn on the printer. wait for the printer to finish making noises and plug in the USB cable. if this worked, youll hear windows little bing as it sees the printer. if those lights stay and the printer doesnt respond, buy a new one. the motherboard is bad in it!

You can download the drivers direct from HP here:

PLEASE SEE HERE
That the iJ650 is not supported with Vista.
There are no drivers for Vista.
Vista is a 64 bit program
XP and prior are 32bit.

Basically, this means there is no software written to translate the commands into something Vista knows.

You cannot use that printer on this new PC.

Thanks for using FixYa - a VERY HELPFUL rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.

Try this:
Click Start, then internet explorer, then tools, then internet options, advanced tab, reset button, a new window appears then reset, close Ok.

The best thing to do is go to Compaq's website, and download the drivers for that printer. Install the drivers, then the printer, and you are good to go.
