- Press down lightly on the empty cartridge and pull it straight out toward you.
- Remove the new cartridge from its packaging and pull the orange plastic tab to remove the protective tape. Do not touch the copper contacts or ink nozzles.
- Slide the new cartridge into its slot (black on the right, tri-color on the left) until it clicks firmly in place.
- Close the access door. The printer will automatically align the new cartridge — follow the prompt in HP Smart to print an alignment page.
Troubleshooting Tips
Cartridge not recognized: Remove the cartridge, gently wipe the copper contacts with a dry lint-free cloth, and reinsert it firmly. Restart the printer if the error persists.
Streaks or faded prints: Run the print head cleaning utility from the HP Smart app (Printer Settings → Tools → Clean Cartridges). One or two cycles usually clears clogged nozzles.
"Used or counterfeit" warnings: Some HP firmware updates may display warnings for compatible cartridges. Click OK or Continue to dismiss — print quality and yield are not affected.
Low-ink alerts too early: HP's ink-level meter often warns well before a cartridge is empty. Keep printing until quality drops before swapping cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use HP 67 standard cartridges in the DeskJet 2755e? Yes. The DeskJet 2755e accepts both HP 67 and HP 67XL. The XL version just holds more ink for a lower cost-per-page.
Will compatible HP 67XL cartridges void my printer warranty? No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, using compatible cartridges does not void your HP warranty.
Does HP+ work with compatible cartridges? If you enrolled in HP+ during setup, the printer will only accept genuine HP cartridges. To use compatible cartridges, you must opt out of HP+ during setup or use HP's instructions to disable it.
Why does my printer say the cartridge is empty when it isn't? HP printers estimate ink levels conservatively. You can usually keep printing for dozens of pages after the low-ink warning appears.
Does Castle Ink offer free shipping on HP 67XL? Yes — all U.S. orders ship free, and every cartridge is covered by a 1-year quality guarantee.
