Are you really talking about the cartridge or the *carriage* (the unit that the
cartridge slots into) ?
If you are talking about the cartridge I suggest it is impossible to do.
If you are talking about the carriage then you probably need to change the
whole carriage since the cable is usually bonded at the carriage end, replacing
the carriage on some HP printers is fairly straightforward.

and impratical. What possible reason would you need to change the cable on a
cartrige. You would have to have another cartrige to get the replacement
cable so why not just use the replacement. He must be talking about the
ribbon cable on the carrage.

It is not possible to replace the flex cable on the cartridge. It has a number
of tab gold bonds that are ultrasonically welded to the printhead silicon as
well as a protective covering of encapsulant that keeps ink out of the
electronics.
