What Ink Does the HP Deskjet 3755 Use?

by William Elward Last Updated:

Quick answer: The HP Deskjet 3755 uses HP 65 standard or HP 65XL high-yield ink cartridges — one Black cartridge and one Tri-Color cartridge. The XL versions print roughly 2.5× as many pages as standard HP 65 and are the best value for most users.

HP 65 vs. HP 65XL Page Yields

  • HP 65 Black — ~120 pages
  • HP 65XL Black — ~300 pages
  • HP 65 Tri-Color — ~100 pages
  • HP 65XL Tri-Color — ~300 pages

Why Compatible HP 65XL Saves Money

Genuine HP 65XL cartridges typically cost $35–$45 each at retail. Compatible and remanufactured HP 65XL cartridges from Castle Ink's HP ink collection deliver the same page yields at a fraction of OEM pricing and carry a full replacement warranty. For Deskjet 3755 owners printing 50+ pages a month, the XL set pays for itself in the first refill.

How to Replace HP 65 Cartridges in the Deskjet 3755

  1. Turn the printer on and open the front access door.
  2. Wait for the cartridge carriage to move to the center and stop.
  3. Press down on the old cartridge and pull it toward you to release it.
  4. Remove the new cartridge from its packaging and pull off the protective tape.
  5. Slide the cartridge into the matching slot at a slight upward angle until it clicks.
  6. Close the access door — the printer will automatically align the new cartridge.

Troubleshooting Tips

If the 3755 shows a "cartridge problem" error after replacement, remove both cartridges, wipe the copper contacts gently with a dry lint-free cloth, and reinstall them. For persistent alignment issues, HP publishes a detailed walkthrough on the official HP Deskjet 3700 support page.

Our Recommendation

For almost every Deskjet 3755 owner, compatible XL cartridges are the smart pick. You get 2.5× the pages at less than half the price of OEM, and quality compatible cartridges from a reputable U.S. retailer like Castle Ink are indistinguishable in print quality for everyday documents and photos.
