Replace the ink cartridges
NOTE: For information on recycling used ink supplies, see HP inkjet supplies recycling program
on page 121.
If you do not already have replacement ink cartridges for the printer, see Order printing supplies
online on page 137.
NOTE: At this time, some portions of the HP website are available in English only.
NOTE: Not all cartridges are available in all countries/regions.
CAUTION: While ink cartridges are not damaged when left outside of the printer, the printhead does
need to have all cartridges installed at all times after the printer is set up and in use. Leaving one or
more cartridge slots empty for an extended period may lead to print quality problems and possibly
damage the printhead. If you have recently left a cartridge out of the printer for an extended period, or
if you have had a recent paper jam, and have noticed poor print quality, clean the printhead. For more
information, see Clean the printhead on page 86.
