They might slide right in, but you should have to take the tape off... TreasonousBastard Mar 2022 #12

There's no tape on them. No cleaning needed. They're HP... brush Mar 2022 #13

Without seeing it, I can't say any more. Have you called HP support? TreasonousBastard Mar 2022 #14

Not yet. Got another suggestion to try the head cleaning cycle... brush Mar 2022 #15
