A printing fluid container () for use in a printing system is described. An example container includes a base () and a light transmissive side wall (). The side wall extends from the base to define a chamber () for receiving and storing printing fluid within the container. The side wall has an internal surface () facing the chamber, said internal surface comprising a channel (). The channel comprises a portion () indicating a height from the base, the height representing a predetermined fill amount. The channel is configured such that when the chamber contains printing fluid, printing fluid resides within the channel () and indicates the predetermined fill amount.

One example provides a replaceable cartridge for user-installation in a printer system. The replaceable cartridge includes a cartridge body, a cartridge lid and a lid manifold. The cartridge lid covers the cartridge body and includes a lid aperture to supply printing fluid into the cartridge body. The lid manifold is mounted to the cartridge lid and includes a lid manifold input port to be fluidly connected to and disconnected from a carriage manifold of the printer system. The state of the fluid connection depends on a pivot position of the carriage manifold, if the replaceable cartridge is installed in the printer system.
