HP DeskJet 2300 All-in-One Printer Setup Guide

Note: Do not connect the USB cable to your computer yet; wait until the software prompts you to do so.  2. Install Ink Cartridges 

• Connect the USB cable after driver installation prompts you to do so, not before.
• Follow on-screen installer to complete.

• The Cartridges: The 2300 uses two cartridges (Black and Tri-Color).
• The Process: You open the front door, and the carriage slides into the center automatically. The cartridges snap in with a satisfying click.
• The Alignment Sheet: Once the ink is installed, the printer immediately prints an alignment page. This is a crucial step that many users skip, but the 2300 prompts you to scan this page to ensure the print heads are aligned. It is automatic and takes less than two minutes.
