How to Replace an Empty Ink Cartridge in the HP ENVY 5535 e-All-in-One Series Printer

disclosure

Make sure you purchase the right ink cartridges for your specific printer and printer region or have your old ones refilled. Cartridges are not compatible between different brands, and often not within the same brand. HP designs its inkjet hardware to use country-specific consumables. When you unbox a new HP inkjet printer and set it up, you install a set of ink tanks that ship with the printer. As you turn on the device and get ready to use it, an initialization sequence localizes it to the country associated with the ink cartridges you installed. HP recommends that you use original HP ink cartridges. XL (Extra Large) cartridges cost more but do provide better value in the long run. They will be able to print at least double the pages of a regular cartridge. Our advice is that if you print often, go with XL. However, ink can dry up. So if you are not a frequent printer, go with the regular cartridges. You’ll usually install both the black and tri-color cartridges in the HP ENVY, but you can also leave one ink cartridge carriage empty (single-cartridge mode).

5. Align the cartridges when prompted to do so.
Aligning the cartridges ensures the high-quality output. If you remove and reinstall the
same ink cartridge, the HP All-in-One will NOT prompt you to align the ink cartridges.

Follow the instructions on the control panel to start the cartridge alignment. The printer aligns the cartridges and prints an alignment page.
