Compatible printer for cartridges

Doing this the other way around, I've been looking but I can't find any current HP printers compatible with HP 56 and HP 57 cartridges. Have all relevant printers been discontinued? (It's to replace a printer, not for me, but they've still got stockpile of cartridges).

    On a quick look, can't see any of those printers which are still retailed at the moment.

    Old stock or eBay no doubt would be good, I've been using one 5850 for years, it's a great printer.

    Else I guess they could sell all the carts. off on eBay too.

    I'd been looking at the same chart. I guess the cartridges only being sold as legacy ones now. I think selling cartridges may be only option. Will have to ask how many they've got. I've already said I may buy them from them (I use a 5652).

    I guess they are just legacy cartridges as you say.

    Had a quick look on eBay:

    There is a 9680 for £60 - item # 270230641157

    or a brand new 5850 currently at £32 - item # 220226808283
