Quick answer: The HP ENVY 5545 uses HP 62 ink in two cartridges: an HP 62 or HP 62XL black and an HP 62 or HP 62XL tri-color. Castle Ink stocks remanufactured HP 62XL Black, HP 62XL Tri-color and a 62XL 2-pack.
The 5545 is part of HP's ENVY 5540 series. HP's support documents list it with the 5540, 5541, 5542, 5543, 5544, 5546, 5547 and 5548, and they all take HP 62. HP also sold an ENVY 5545 e-All-in-One in Europe (K7G88A) that takes European HP 62 cartridges ending in AE; HP region-codes them, so a U.S. printer needs the AN versions below.

Yields are HP's ISO figures. Tri-color goes on the left, black on the right. We don't stock the standard HP 62; the XL fits the same slots. The 5545 predates HP+, and our remanufactured 62XL cartridges keep the original HP chip.
What Does ENVY 5545 Ink Cost per Page?
Our 62XL black is $22.99 for about 600 pages (about 3.8¢ a page) and our 62XL tri-color $23.99 for about 415 pages (about 5.8¢). Blended across black and color that's about 4.6¢ a page, or about 4.4¢ with the $44.99 2-pack. HP's standard HP 62 cartridges print only about 200 black and 165 color pages, so the XL size cuts the number of cartridge changes by roughly two-thirds.
How Do I Replace the Ink in the HP ENVY 5545?
- Turn the printer on and open the cartridge access door; wait for the carriage to move to the center and stop.
- Press down on the cartridge you're replacing to release it, then pull it out.
- Unpack the new cartridge and pull off the plastic tape by its tab, without touching the copper contacts or nozzles.
- Slide it into its slot until it clicks (tri-color left, black right).
- Close the door, load plain paper, and let the printer print its alignment page.
Which Other Printers Use HP 62 and 62XL?
The ENVY 5540 and 5542; the ENVY 5640 and 5642; the ENVY 5660, 5663 and 5665; the ENVY 7640 and 7645; the OfficeJet 5740; and the OfficeJet 200 and 250 mobile printers. HP 63 and HP 64 don't fit.
What ENVY 5545 owners ask
These are the questions that come up most for the ENVY 5540 series in HP's support community and owner reviews, answered in our words.
Is the 5545 different from the 5540?
For ink, no. HP groups the two in its support documents and both take HP 62 and 62XL. A different model number usually means a version made for a particular retailer or region.
Does it print two-sided?
Yes, automatically. It also has a 15-sheet photo tray above the 125-sheet main tray, so you can keep photo paper loaded.
It says a cartridge is missing or damaged right after I put a new one in.
Pull the cartridge, check that all the tape is off, wipe the copper contacts with a dry lint-free cloth and reseat it firmly until it clicks. A cartridge from another region (ending in AE instead of AN) will also trigger this on a U.S. printer.
Can I scan several pages at once?
No. It has a flatbed scanner only, with no document feeder and no fax.
ENVY 5545 quirks worth knowing
- HP rates the 5540 series at up to 12 pages a minute in black (ISO).
- It has a 2.2-inch touchscreen and built-in Wi-Fi plus USB; there's no Ethernet port.
- The setup cartridges in the box are rated for about 200 black and 120 color pages.
- The 'e' in e-All-in-One refers to HP's web features such as ePrint. The printer predates HP+.
