Have anyone an idea? Is this hard to do this?

Quite hard for an unexperienced person.

That printer uses the HP 62 Tri-color Ink Cartridge. To get the connector for that you should look for a used HP printer that uses that cartridge:

HP ENVY 5540, 5640, 5660, 7640 Series,
HP OfficeJet 5740, 8040 Series,
HP OfficeJet Mobile 200, 250 Series

With luck, you can find one for under $40.

Then you can start the reverse-engineering process where you figure out what signals are sent to the cartridge.
