I ordered and received a new HP 17a toner cartridge. It has a plastic cover on the toner roll that does not come off. I am afraid to begin using it for fear of damaging my printer. Has anyone had the same experience? I may have gotten a defective cartridge. HP's website is useless.

Hello cakadri
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I need a picture of the cartridge.
This picture should clearly show which protection you cannot remove, plastic cover?
Important:
Take your iPhone or smartphone, take a picture, copy the picture to your computer via USB-C, then upload this picture here.
Kind Regards
