to get the manual you will need to go to the lexmark website at
www.lexmark.com than in search bar put printer 1185 manual it will take you there
As for opening it for the ink leave printer on and open up printer lid the cartridges will stop in the middle of the printer than pull up or snap down on plastic holders and pull out its is a little tite so you will need to use a little presure on it ,be carefull not to use to much.
Good luck
