Quick answer: The HP OfficeJet 4654 uses two HP 63 ink cartridges: one black and one tri-color, each with the print head built in. The high-yield HP 63XL versions fit too. Castle Ink stocks remanufactured 63XL Black, 63XL Tri-color and a 63XL 2-pack.
The 4654 is one of HP's OfficeJet 4650 series, which also includes the 4650, 4652 and 4655; all of them take HP 63. Outside the U.S. the same series uses HP 302 (Europe) or HP 803, which are region-coded and won't work in a U.S. printer.

Discontinued. HP lists the OfficeJet 4650 series as discontinued and points shoppers to the DeskJet 4155e, which uses HP 67 ink instead. HP 63 cartridges, and HP's newer 63/65 cartridges, are still sold.

HP originally rated the 4650 series cartridges at 190 / 165 pages standard and 480 / 330 XL; current retailer listings use the lower figures above. In July 2026 HP began replacing HP 63 with combined HP 63/65 cartridges, which HP says work in every printer that took HP 63. The 4654 is not an HP+ printer, and our remanufactured cartridges keep the original HP chip.
What Does OfficeJet 4654 Ink Cost per Page?
Our 63XL black is $23.49 for about 430 pages (about 5.5¢ a page) and our 63XL tri-color $24.49 for about 300 pages (about 8.2¢). Blended across black and color that's about 6.6¢ a page, or about 6.3¢ with the $45.95 2-pack. On an office all-in-one, black usually runs out first, so buying the black singly is often the smarter refill.
How Do I Replace the Ink in the HP OfficeJet 4654?
- 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 old cartridge to release it and pull it out.
- Pull the tape off the new cartridge by its tab without touching the copper contacts or nozzles.
- Slide it in until it clicks (tri-color left, black right).
- Close the door, then print and scan the alignment page when the printer asks.
Which Other Printers Use HP 63?
The OfficeJet 4650, 4652 and 4655; the OfficeJet 3830 and 5255; the ENVY 4520; and the DeskJet 1112, 2130 and 3630. HP 62 and HP 65 don't fit.
What OfficeJet 4654 owners ask
These are the questions that come up most for the OfficeJet 4650 series in HP's support community and owner reviews, answered in our words.
It won't recognize the color cartridge.
The most-reported 4650-series problem. Take the cartridge out, make sure all the tape is off, wipe the copper contacts on the cartridge with a dry lint-free cloth and reseat it until it clicks. Check that it's a U.S. HP 63 or 63XL, not HP 302 or 803.
The carriage is stuck and it shows an error code after a power cut.
Turn it off, unplug it for a minute, open the cartridge door and gently check that nothing blocks the carriage, then plug it straight into the wall rather than a power strip and turn it on.
Can it scan and copy multi-page documents?
Yes. It has a 35-sheet automatic document feeder for copying, scanning and faxing.
Does it print two-sided?
Yes, automatically, for printing. Two-sided originals in the document feeder have to be flipped by hand.
OfficeJet 4654 quirks worth knowing
- HP rates the 4650 series at up to 9.5 pages a minute in black and 6.8 in color (ISO).
- It prints, copies, scans and faxes, with Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct; there's no Ethernet port.
- The 100-sheet input tray is small for an office printer, so expect to reload often.
- The setup cartridges in the box are rated for only about 155 black and 100 color pages.
