How to Replace an Empty Ink Cartridge in the HP Officejet Pro X476dn All-in-One Inkjet Printer Series – an Illustrated Tutorial in 8 Steps

Supply-related notifications are communicated on the product control panel.

  • A Supply Low message appears when an ink cartridge is nearing the estimated end of its useful life. Printing can continue, but consider having a replacement supply on hand.
  • A Supply Very Low message appears when the ink cartridge is near its estimated end of useful life. Have a replacement ink cartridge on hand. Although using the Continue setting allows printing beyond Very Low without replacing the cartridge, the product will shut down before any print problems occur.
  • A Supply Out of Ink message appears when the ink cartridge is empty.

    • Make sure you purchase the right ink cartridges for your specific printer. Cartridges are not compatible between different brands, and often not within the same brand. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP ink cartridges, either new or remanufactured. Any damage caused by a non-HP print cartridge is not covered under the HP warranty and service agreements. 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.
