Changing ink in an HP Photosmart Plus printer.

  • Author: nick
  • Difficulty: Very easy
  • Add Note x

this one uses individual ink and just as easy.

Uses 564 or 564XL but the shape that is printed has to match if replacing a empty ink or it will say "incompatible cartridge".

so,i recommend you bring the old ink to the store and match the shape if not refilling or getting remanufactured or having a pro refill

Add Note Edit Step 4  ¶ 

  • Line up the ink with the printhead and the knotch it belongs to, then push down

  • But this,unlike the c4780,you can stick a Cyan ink into Magenta but it will read "incorrect print cartridge" and leave the stain of the wrong ink (thus you need to clean the stain out)

  • The black cartridge can be a challenge to fit correctly, especially if it is the standard capacity. The slot is better fit a larger capacity cartridge which is better then the standard so i recommend the XL over standard

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
