Quick answer: The HP OfficeJet 5745 e-All-in-One uses 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 5745 (HP product number B9S80A) is a member of the OfficeJet 5740 series. HP's support documents list it alongside the OfficeJet 5740, 5741, 5742, 5743, 5744 and 5746, and it shares HP 62 with the ENVY 5660 and ENVY 7640. HP's U.S. 62XL page names the 5740, 5741, 5743 and 5744 but not the 5745, so don't be put off if the exact number is missing there. We couldn't confirm which store or market the 5745 was made for. European HP 62 cartridges end in AE instead of AN, and HP region-codes them, so buy U.S. AN cartridges for a U.S. printer.

Discontinued. HP's U.S. store lists the OfficeJet 5745 (B9S80A) as discontinued and points 5740-series buyers to the DeskJet 4155e, which takes different ink. Expert Reviews tested the OfficeJet 5740 in May 2015; we couldn't confirm the 5745's own launch date or price. On October 21, 2026, Staples still listed original HP 62XL black and tri-color cartridges.

What Ink Cartridges Does the HP OfficeJet 5745 Take?

Cartridge	HP part no.	Approx. yield	Castle Ink option
HP 62 Black	C2P04AN	~200 pages	—
HP 62XL Black (high-yield)	C2P05AN	~600 pages	Remanufactured HP 62XL Black
HP 62 Tri-color	C2P06AN	~165 pages	—
HP 62XL Tri-color (high-yield)	C2P07AN	~415 pages	Remanufactured HP 62XL Tri-color
HP 62XL Black + Tri-color 2-pack	—	~600 / 415 pages	Remanufactured 62XL 2-pack
HP 62XL Black MICR (check printing, optional)	C2P05AN	~600 pages	Remanufactured HP 62XL Black MICR

The black slot is on the right and the tri-color on the left. Yields are HP's ISO figures. We don't stock the standard 62; the XL fits the same slots. The MICR black is only for printing checks. This is not an HP+ printer. The HP 62 models weren't among the printers named in HP's dynamic security class settlements in Canada and Europe, and we found no HP statement that this series uses dynamic security. Our remanufactured 62XL cartridges keep the original HP chip.

Are HP 62XL Cartridges Worth It?

Yes. The 62XL black prints about 600 pages against 200 for the standard 62, and the 62XL tri-color about 415 pages against 165. On October 21, 2026, Staples listed HP's 62XL black at $62.89 (about 10.5¢ a page) and 62XL tri-color at $64.89 (about 15.6¢ a page). 4inkjets listed HP's standard 62 black at $24.99 (about 12.5¢ a page) and 62 tri-color at $36.99 (about 22.4¢ a page). Our remanufactured 62XL black is $22.99, about 3.8¢ a page, and our 62XL tri-color is $23.99, about 5.8¢ a page. Our 62XL 2-pack is $44.99, so it is now the cheaper way to buy both. The two singles add up to $46.98.

How Do I Replace the Ink in the HP OfficeJet 5745?

Turn the printer on and load plain paper in the main tray.
Open the cartridge access door and 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 of its slot. Tri-color goes on the left, black on the right.
Unpack the new cartridge and pull off the plastic tape by its pink tab. Don't touch the copper contacts or the nozzles.
Slide the cartridge into its slot until it clicks, close the door, and let the printer run its alignment when asked.

Which Other Printers Use HP 62 and 62XL?

The ENVY 5540, 5541, 5542, 5543, 5544, 5545, 5546, 5547 and 5548; the ENVY 5640, 5642, 5643, 5644 and 5646; the ENVY 5660, 5661, 5663, 5664 and 5665; the ENVY 7640, 7643, 7644 and 7645; the OfficeJet 5740, 5741, 5742, 5743, 5744, 5745 and 5746; the OfficeJet 8040; and the OfficeJet 200 and 250 mobile printers. The look-alike HP 61 does not fit.

What OfficeJet 5745 owners ask

These are the questions that come up most for the OfficeJet 5740 series in HP's support community and owner reviews, answered in our words.

Is the 5745 different from the 5740?

Not in any way that matters for ink. HP treats the 5745 as part of the 5740 series in its support documents, and we found no hardware difference. It takes the same HP 62 and 62XL cartridges.

It says there's an ink cartridge problem.

First check that both cartridges are HP 62s. An HP agent found a 5740 owner had HP 61s fitted, which look similar. If the numbers are right, unplug the power cord with the printer on, hold the power button for 15 seconds, then plug it straight into a wall outlet rather than a surge strip.

It shows a carriage jam, but nothing is stuck.

HP's carriage-jam steps cover the 5745 by name. Open the cartridge access door, clear any paper or object in the carriage path, close the door and press OK. If a printer status report prints, the problem is cleared.

It keeps saying 'Close Tray'.

HP says this message means the main input tray isn't fully closed. Push the tray all the way in until it seats. HP's document lists the 5745 among the affected models.

OfficeJet 5745 quirks worth knowing

It is a full office all-in-one for its size. HP's 5740-series specs list a 25-sheet document feeder, color fax with about 100 pages of fax memory, and automatic two-sided printing.
It has an Ethernet port, Wi-Fi and NFC touch-to-print, which many newer HP home inkjets lack.
A separate 15-sheet photo tray sits above the 125-sheet main tray, so you can leave photo paper loaded.
HP rates the series at up to 12 pages a minute in black and 8 in color (ISO), with a 1,000-page monthly duty cycle and 300 to 400 pages a month recommended.
The 'e' in e-All-in-One refers to HP's web features such as ePrint. The printer predates HP+.
