1. Treat the top of the printer like a lid. Just lift it up to open it.
2. When the ink cartridges slide front and center for you, pinch the front where the tabs are and they click out.
3. Put the new cartridge in how the old one was and push down on the tab to click it into place.
4. Close the lid and let it do it's thing! :)

Dear
You can follow the link. Yes you do have to install 2 carts. to work the printer. However from printer setting you may disable color print.
Note Ink cart head gets clogged when not used prolonged time.
Sometimes it takes more than a couple tries to get the right settings the first time you put in a new ink cart. Try using the calibration setting for the printer under it's properties?
When the carriage is worn out it doesn't hold the ink up to the contacts inside. If you remove the ink and place a small piece of paper behind the connector inside it will move the contacts out to the cart. Also try a piece of tape on top center of cart to hold cartridge in to the contacts better.
i have an hp and find that they (color carts) cannot be refilled- the clever b*st*rds!! they stepped the ink reservoirs so, if you don't insert the re-fill needle 'just right', it bleeds into the others and you end up with a 'muddy' print-out! you need to buy a new hp cart, or shop around for a generic cart (cheaper) google your product & cart #. you may find a source for a cheaper cart. the black carts. can be re-filled! good luck!
Usually a contact issue. Try wiping the contacts in the carrier as well as the contacts on the cartridge. I have even cleaned the cart. contact with a pencil eraser then wiped them. If this does not work try a new cart.
hope this helps
An interesting aside is that if one or the other cart is removed, the appropriate LED goes out and the other blinks. At least some of the sensing circuitry sees the cart.
Anyone have a schematic of the cart/printer electronics?
It is best for you to take time to a Hp Center. You will damage the cart if you try to take them out. Hp service center has special tools which they use to take the cart out. If you are really good to them they will even do it free for you. It will not take more than 10 mins for the job.
What model HP DeskJet?
