NOTE: If you are installing ink cartridges in the HP All-in-One for the first time, be sure to use only the ink cartridges that came with the device. The ink in these cartridges is specially formulated to mix with the ink in the print head assembly at first- time setup.

If you do not already have replacement ink cartridges for the HP All-in-One, you can order them by clicking the Shop for HP Supplies icon on your computer. On a Windows computer this is located in the HP folder in the Start menu.
