Hi @Pete2681,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're stoked to have you on board! 

 

To help us get started on resolving your issue, could you please share the model name of your device?

 

Meanwhile, you can try these steps.

 

I understand your printer is running low on color ink, and you’d like to know about getting a replacement cartridge. Let’s go through a few points to help you.

 

1. Check Printer Model & Cartridge Type

Identify your printer model (e.g., HP DeskJet, OfficeJet, or LaserJet) and the exact cartridge number.

This is usually listed in the printer manual, on the cartridge itself, or in the printer software.

 

2. Order Through Official Channels

HP Online Store: https://www.hp.com/in-en/shop

Authorized retailers like Amazon India, Flipkart, or local computer stores.

Enter your cartridge number to ensure compatibility.

 

3. Use HP Instant Ink (if applicable)

Some HP printers support HP Instant Ink, a subscription service where cartridges are automatically shipped when your ink is low.

Check if your printer is enrolled: HP Smart App > Ink > Enrollment.

 

4. Check Shipping / Delivery Times

If ordered online, delivery usually takes 3–7 business days in India depending on the vendor.

Local stores can often provide immediate replacement if in stock.

 

5. Temporary Workaround

If your printer supports printing with one cartridge empty, you may continue printing in black & white until the color cartridge arrives.

Avoid removing the cartridge until the new one is ready; some printers won’t print at all if cartridges are missing.

I hope this helps.
