Hewlett-Packard (HP) printers use disposable ink cartridges. The cartridges are labeled with a number that is related to the printer the cartridge works in. The cartridges are also easily removed and installed without any special tools. You don't have to take your printer to a repair shop or call a technician. The HP 92 cartridge is a black ink cartridge for HP's C3100 series of "All-In-One" printers and other "C" series printers. The HP 92 cartridge can also be refilled, if desired.
