Posted .Hi,
I'm sorry that you feel this way, but am puzzled about the cartridges "falling out". I have never heard of that happening. The cartridges have a tab that holds them into their slots after they are lowered into place. Here are instructions that picture how that happens: support.hp.com/document/c05072543
I hope you have much better luck with your new printer.
If we can help you with that, feel free to contact us through one of the methods described at: hp.com/contactHP
