It depends upon the brand of cartridges.

Do a search.  I did and came up with this:\n\nhttp://www.cnet.com.au/desktops/printers/0,39029456,40058603,00.htm\n\nThere are a ton more.  You should be able to find one that will solve your problem.\n\nSearch for "HP Photosmart 2575 printer help with cartridges".\n\nGood Luck\n\np.s.  I would call a store that sells them and ask one of the techs there why the cartridge won't fit in right side.  You need both and black and a color cartridge.

I used to have a similar model of printer-scanner. \n\n(The printer has to be turned on when you do this...) You just lift up the front cover (not the scanner cover) and you should be able to see the in cartridges inside. Usually there is a sticker or engraving showing you how the change the cartridges. The cartridges will move to the right side and when they stop you can just pull out the cartridge you want to replace. Open the package of the new cartridge, peel off the protective tape over the print head then plug it in.  \n\nA pamphlet often comes with the ink, with installation instructions. You can, of course visit the HP website for more detailed information. Don't worry, it's pretty easy. Good luck.

if you soak a cartridge in water, you will end up with a soggy cartridge.  don't do it.\n\nhowever, you can try to tap the printhead ON top of a small amout of warm distilled water it may break up the ink that has gathered on top of the printhead.\n\nyou may leave the cartridge sit on top of a damp paper towel for a while, but make sure the entire printhead is touching the dampness of the paper towel to avoid it drying out further.\n\none other thing you can try is to hold the printhead over top of steam (like out of a tea kettle) for a few seconds until you see the ink begin to flow.  be very careful when doing this, as you could very easily melt the printhead and it will definitely be ruined.  i only use this as a last resort.\n\ndell was started by HP, and they did nothing but cause hp problems, and most of their customers are not happy with the printers and are returning to HP.\n\nmy recommendation is to just buy a new cartridge and learn not to let it sit unused for so long.\n\ngood luck

Look at the bottom, there should be a little plastic cover with a hole in it..   Use some electrical tape to cover that hole.\n\nDrill a small hole in the front left or right corner of the top cartridge, being careful not to touch the plastic bags inside.\n(if you drill a hole in the middle you will rupture the plastic bags and you will have a cartridge that will not stop leaking)   Especially avoid that little white vent,  I know it is tempting to want to fill there.\n\nInject 40 ML of ink.\n\nSeal hole with hot glue.  MAKE sure you have a tight seal or you will have a mess on your hands.\n\nRemove the electrical tape from the bottom cover.  It is covering a little hole called a maze hole.  \n\nThis is the tricky part, you will want to use a blunt syringe (no Needle)  to remove 2-5 ml of ink from the bottom of the cartridge.  This will re-pressurize the cartridge and prevent it from leaking.\n\nTurn the cartridge right side up, make sure no ink is leaking from the bottom.  If so remove a couple more ML of ink from the bottom. \n\nWhen you finally have the right pressure the cartridge will not leak.   It is then safe to re-install.\n\nRun a couple print head cleaning then you are ready to start printing again.

follow the advice of the other answerers, replace the cartridge, but i, too would recommend a thorough cleaning first.\n\nvery gently with a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol take the printer apart and clean, clean, clean.  just be careful to put it back the way it was.\n\nhope this helps.  good luck.

It sounds like a K98 Mauser. A qualified gunsmith should be sought to determine its chambering (cartridge size) and condition for use.

This is silly, but it has happened.  Make sure the protective tape on the ink cartridge has been removed before installing it into the printer.  I have an IT friend who made this very embarrassing mistake.

Take it to the Frog House on PCH in west Newport. They have a guy they send it out to. Takes a few days to get it back but the work is decent and not too expensive.

it can be corrected but it depends on the condition of the printer

on the printer cartridge itself have you taken off the protective plastic strip that covers the  " Data nodules"?
