Thanks for reaching out to us on HP Support Forums. 🙂 I came across your post and would like to help.

 

I understand that you have an HP Photosmart C4200 All-in-One Printer and the HP 74xl cartridge does not seem to into the printer. This cartridge was purchased from Staples.

 

I did some research and found the ink cartridge compatibility chart for your printer. Please view the chart below:

 

  • You may also view the HP Sure Supply link to check the cartridge compatibility. 
  • Also, please ensure that all the plastic taping is removed from the cartridge while inserting it in the printer: http://hp.care/2keH42R

If everything is in place and if the cartridge still does not fit in then you may contact HP phone support to seek a replacement cartridge under the warranty. 

 

Hope this information helps. Feel free to let me know if you have anymore questions. Cheers! 🙂
