Looks like you've got the correct replacement cartridge.





The seal strip should have a loop on the end of the cartridge which you'll have to pull out. It spans the width of the entire cartridge and seals the toner bay during shipping and storage.





Take a look at the seal strip to ensure that you've removed it entirely. It should come out in one smooth motion and should be at least as long as the cartridge is wide, quite possibly a little longer.





If it's not removed completely, or if the strip tore off while being removed, return the cartridge for a replacement as you won't be able to get it out without opening the cartridge casing. (Not something you want to do.)





If you're certain that you've removed it, hold the cartridge with one hand at either end with the label facing you.





Sway the cartridge back and forth horizontally in smooth motions to distribute the toner evenly inside the toner bay. This will help to ensure that it gets distributed evenly during the printing cycle.





Insert the cartridge, close the cover and press the ready button. The printer will cycle through it's initialization process and you should be ready to print.





If not, the cartridge may simply be defective, in which case, you may need to exchange it for a replacement.





Good Luck.Hp laserjet 1012 printer ???
First off, this may sound dumb but did you pull the tab off of the catridge? Second, is it the right cartridge for the printer and is it installed correctly? Generally the cartridge number in on the printer. I forgot to pull the tab off of the cartridge once myself, I was at least glad to know that that was all that it was.
