HP OfficeJet Pro 8125e. Initial setup. Trying to install ink cartridges. There are orange plastic pieces on them (which I didn't have on my previous printer cartridges.) The picture is not very clear as to how you are supposed to remove them. I don't want to ruin the cartridges, and don't comprehend exactly how they are to be removed. HELP! I am in desperate need of a printer, and phone support is not available on weekends!

Thank you ahead of time! I got real brave and used as much strength as I could muster up in my right hand to push it off, but it did it. Think I need a break now!! Have a great weekend. Hoping to get through the rest of the setup!!
