Do I have to break anything inside the printer, like the cover to the inks, to get this installed as I had to on another model and brand?

It is possible to remove the ink cartridge cover without breaking it, but it is rather difficult. I just snapped off a little piece of the plastic which allowed it to come of easier. This really doesn't matter though because once you take the cover off, you're not going to be using it anymore. And, if for some reason you do need to use it, you can still put it back in place and have it functional. Hope this helps.

I don't know what could involve the toner cartridge unless it wasn't fully seated inside the printer. Perhaps you could pull the toner cartridge out, inspect the insertion area for any debris and then re-seat the replacement toner cartridge.

Make sure you carefully read the printer screen as you replace each cartridge. It may ask the question " This is not genuine espon ink. Are you sure you want to continue to install this ink?" If you don't read the question you may assume that you should just continue to hit the next key. This is a problem that I had. Hope it helps. By the way, the ink works great!!!

Those that came w/the printer lasted quite a while. New ones are very expensive, but you'll just have to bite-the-bullet. I ordered mine from "newegg.com". The two never go empty at the same so you don't need to replace both.

Changing the ink is very easy... First keep the printer plugged in and ON (the ink cartridge will slide down to the opening for easy access). Then place hand under, yes under the front of the printer (in space just above the area where the final print comes out). You may have to bend or scoot down to see a latched (spring) door at back, place finger in and pull downward (cartridges will come to the centre). Place thumb/index finger on raised tab on the front of cartridge case and gently pull upwards and outwards (to you). Hope this helps.

You do not have to remove any screws or take off the back. Just slide paper guide to the rear and remove. Flip out ink cartridge and replace with new one. Replace paper guide. That's it

I just tried taking out the cartridge to print a photo and the printer doesn't appear to work without a cartridge in the slot. So I don't think it will work without the cartridge.

I'm not quite sure I know what you mean. If you've put in new print heads then you want to go to tools and run an alignment check. You MUST be sure the print heads are in correctly. I suggest you get out the owner's manual and double check the installation. If the print heads are NOT in correctly, you can do serious damage to your printer. I hope this is the information you want.

I did & is a total mess. I am a do-it-my-self kind of guy & I did it using the best tools available for this. These cartridges have an internal plastic seal that once is broken, the toner will no longer seal properly & the ink start leaking all over inside your machine. I believe this is a countermeasure created by the manufacturer to avoid reverse engineering or to prevent their cartridges from being refilled by third-party vendors. My recommendation, don't do this or at least make sure you don't do this in your living room (your wife will have your head if you stain the furniture).

Yes, I open my printer pull the old one out and after removing the tab from the new one insert it in the same place. Less than a minute to do the process.

My printer is different(dcp-7065). When I installed, I used the old cartridge holder and only replace the toner cartridge. There is a small paper in front of cartridge head(printing), make sure you pull it out. Thanks.

As far as I can tell the sides are almost identical, nothing on the box suggests you can't or indicates a "this side up" insertion into a printer. The paper is so heavy I see no reason ink penetration should be an issue with a normal printer.

It sounds like a bad idea to leave your ink slots empty anyway. If there is no ink flow through any of the slots for a long period of time the ink inside the ports will dry up and clog the print heads. Also, I wouldn't spend $80 to $100 for replacement ink. You can buy a brand new printer (with ink) for that price! I buy my replacement cartridges for $1.68 each and they work perfectly. Of course the printer companies don't want you to do that so they are going to tell youit's bad for your printer, and perhaps even tell you it will void your warranty.

I installed same way as the canon cartridges that came with the machine. If you bought it used you could find instructions online on canons website.

I dont believe you need anything special or different. You manually install them exactly as you would all other ink cartriges that fit in your printer. You just have to follow your printer's normal instructions to change out ink.

I would make sure it is in the correct place and clicks in. If not, it might not be the correct type for your printer
