Tips & Warnings
Warning If the HP all-in-one is off when you lift the print-carriage access door to access the print cartridges, the HP all-in-one will not release the cartridges for changing. You might damage the HP all-in-one if the print cartridges are not docked safely on the right side when you try to remove them.
Do not touch the copper area on the back of the cartridge.
If the print cartridge moves loosely in the carrier, it is not locked into place.

I would like to tell my hp printer to change to the multi-color print cartridge, since the black ink cartridge is empty. How do I do that?
