These are some of the easiest ink cartridges to replace. You open up the lid and the printer carriage moves to center itself for easy access. The cartridge(s) that are low on ink will have a blinking light. Simply push up on the outside tab to remove the spent cartridge. Then remove the new cartridge from it's sealed bag, remove the orange tape, remove the protective plastic piece at the bottom by twisting it off, insert the cartridge and press down on the installation tab. You are now good to go!

When the remanufactured cartridge I received wasn't recognized by my printer, I just called Sophia Global Customer Service and they immediately sent a replacement, no hassle, no problem. I'm sure they will work with you and satisfy your needs. Just call their Customer Service (785.865.3725). Their address is:Sophia Global 1705 Haskell Ave. Ste. A Lawrence, KS 66044 Good luck.

I replaced my cartridge some months ago and don't really remember. But I found this site online and thought it might help. http://www.justanswer.com/printers/4n4rm-canon-p23-dh-calculator-how-replace-ink-ca.html

No you don't. At some point, the cartridge stops working with the printer and you have to replace it.

Changing the ink is very easy... First keep the printer plugged in and ON (the ink cartridge will slide down to the opening for easy access). Then place hand under, yes under the front of the printer (in space just above the area where the final print comes out). You may have to bend or scoot down to see a latched (spring) door at back, place finger in and pull downward (cartridges will come to the centre). Place thumb/index finger on raised tab on the front of cartridge case and gently pull upwards and outwards (to you). Hope this helps.

Hi, Ryan. There is a button on mine that I push for 10 seconds whenever it states that I need to replace the cartridges. I have a RX680, and it works well beyond my expectations for this printer. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made.

Ok I had the same type of problem. But, I thought I had just messed something up. My husband normally handles things like that. We have a Cannon Pixma MG2120. I went to the cannon web site and downloaded a copy of the owners manual. It told me how to override the empty cartridge indication. Now it doesn't tell me how much ink I have left. Not a big problem for me since mostly all I print is word documents. Hope this helped. Good luck.

This happened to me today. As long as you didn't throw out your old cartridge you're fine. Just remove the little circuit board on the top of the original cartridge and swap it out with the one on the new 2inkjet cartridge. Once I did that my printer automatically recognized it and everything worked just fine! It's super easy to take the circuit board off, just be careful not to lose it!

Hello Zack,To the change the Ink, open the flatbed. It opens right above the paper tray. The ink cartridges have a latch. To remove an ink cartridge, press the latch of the ink cartridge and pull straight up.To insert an ink cartridge, remove the orange tape from the feed hole at the bottom of the cartridge. Find the color coded slot for the cartridge that you are replacing, press the cartridge straight down into the slot until the latch is secure.

Here's what worked for me... Take the old cartridge out &gt; Turn off printer &gt; turn printer back on with no cartridge &gt; wait until it tells you cartridge is missing &gt; insert cartridge &gt; It will again tell you it's not genuine ink, but this time it will prompt you with a message telling you basically what a terrible person you are, but then ask you if you want to use the ink anyways &gt; click yes. Done. (Your first print may take a while as it adjusts for the new ink)

Yes ! You can change which ever cartridge is out, it's alway best to do a alignment after replacement of any Color ink, printing is much better .

Sorry for the delay but just released from Hospital yesterday. I too am confused about why you would need to remove the cover. If you have a mechanical problem with the drive mechanism that transport the print cartridges, please do not attempt a repair. Take to HP shop for expert assistance. However if you are confused on how to change the cartridges then the other poster is correct. Just lift the cover (scanner will also rise), allow the cartridges to settle into accessible position, press on the spring clip associated with the cartridge you wish to replace, remove the old, replace with the new and continue until you have replaced all cartridges needed to return the printer to usable condition. Hope I did not get too wordy with the reply. BTW, Love my HP Photosmart.

Standing in front of the machine, use your right hand to lift the right-sided lid to the open position; lifts the scan bed. You will then see the location of the ink "cartridges" (or carts, as some folks call them). You machine has already told you which cartridge to replace (indicating the color, such as, yellow, black, et cetera). You grab the cartridge that you need to replace by gently pulling out of this slot; you will hear it click; Remove that cartridge and replace it with the new one. The new one is probably sealed in plastic, so you need to open up the plastic and then remove the yellow piece of tape that covers the ink hole. Seat the cartridge in the machine and close the lid.
