Hey @larinajeanell,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
 

I'd like to assist you today with this cartridge installation issue.

 

• What is the number on the ink that you received?

 

Instant Ink cartridges are larger than non Instant Ink (retail) cartridges so they may appear to be too large for your printer. However, Instant Ink cartridges actually fit in your printer in the same way.

 

• For cartridge install assistance, please see here: Installing and Using HP Instant Ink Cartridges

 

Let me know how this goes! 🙂

I also was sent the wrong ink! Thought they knew what printer you had as you connect it online. Also they are saying I've only printed 10 sheets. Which I have printed more. I'm paying for the inks I don't receive. Then they send wrong one
