Fix printer or get a new?

I've had an HP OfficeJet 4500 G510A for some years now and over this last year there's been a slight smudginess to the words. I've tried to clean the area around the cartridges and replace cartridges, but hasn't worked. Short of taking the entire printer apart, the issue might be those pads within the printer the ink passes through. Is it worth it to try and replace them? Couldn't find replacements, so make shift pads would be the option. Don't know if it's worth the effort. 83$ for the same model. The cartridges are the 901's at 23$ for Color+Black. 

 

Recommendations?

Motherboard: Asus Tuf X570-Plus | CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x Eight-Core Processor | GPU: Zotac GeForce RTX 3080 10gb  | RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL14 | Case: ATX Mid Tower Case | Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB & 1TB M.2 | Display: Samsung C27HG70 27" 2560x1440 144Hz 1ms | Operating System: Windows 10
