@Duke4866, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Yes, your HP Envy 4500 e-All-in-One Printer is compatible with HP 61XL ink cartridges. You can use:
- HP 61XL Black Ink Cartridge
- HP 61XL Tri-color Ink Cartridge
These are high-yield versions of the standard HP 61 cartridges and offer more prints per cartridge, making them a cost-effective choice for frequent printing.
Steps to Replace the Ink Cartridges:
- Turn on your printer.
- Open the cartridge access door (lift the front panel).
- Wait for the carriage to move to the center.
- Press down gently on the old cartridge to release it, then pull it out.
- Remove the new HP 61XL cartridge from its packaging and pull the plastic tab to remove the protective tape.
- Insert the new cartridge into the correct slot:
  - Black on the right
- Tri-color on the left
 
- Push the cartridge in until it clicks into place.
- Close the cartridge access door.
Your printer may prompt you to align the cartridges, just follow the on-screen instructions.
