Please describe in detail how I can get the clip/flap/whatever that holds the ink cartridge back into its home. I cannot load ink with it off.

Hi @10eleven 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

I understand how frustrating this must be—especially when a small part like the ink cartridge clip prevents you from loading ink properly.

 

Inspect the clip for any signs of breakage. If it is cracked or broken, it may need replacement. If intact, proceed with reattaching.

 

If the clip is damaged beyond repair, you may need to replace it.

Thanks for getting back to us.

 

Unfortunately the clip is not an individual part which is available for replacement.
