Those with color printers should be sure to only change one cartridge simultaneously. The old cartridge should come out easily when you pull on it. Then you should take the fresh cartridge out of the package. Without touching the head of the cartridge, take off the tape that sits on top of the head. The push the new cartridge into its place on the carrier and close the door. Continue this process until you've replaced all the cartridges you need to.
