Your first step should be to call the manufacturer. see the contact information here: https://www.contacthelp.com/hewlett-packard/customer-service. If you can't get the part from the company you may be able to obtain the part number. Then try the following:

Try an online parts source like http://www.ereplacementparts.com/ or https://www.partstore.com/
Contact local parts dealers, who might be able to supply or maybe fix the part
Contact local printer dealers/technicians, who might be able to supply or maybe fix the part
Enter your part number in a search engine like Google or Yahoo
Try https://www.searchtempest.com/, which displays global listings from eBay, Craigslist, and other sources
Take the part you have to a printer technician, who might possibly be able to fix or replace the part
Contact refurbishing companies
