C6380 low ink level alert

I just installed new HP color and the black photo cartridge toners.  I printed 3 photographs (5 x 7) and the alert of ink message appears showing the color cartridges are low.  It seems that the cartridges don't last very long even when I'm not printing photos.   I'm really frustrated by the short life of the cartridges.  I think I'll buy new cartridges every month and they are not cheap.  I don't post a lot of pictures.  Most of what I print is documents, e-mail, and web info.

Everyone is faced with this problem?  Is it possible to make the cartridges last longer?  What's the precise ink alarm function?

This is quite normal. HP will tell you something different, but if you look around, on the internet, you will find that this printer was a major RIP-OFF by HP. It does a decent job, but it doesn't even come close to print as many pages as HP would like you to believe.

I bought this printer about a year ago, and it's so frustrating. You better buy refill ink and refill the cartridges until the printer is shot then get another, hopefully making another who is more responsible.

  • message on Dell V305 low ink level

    I recently put a new cartridge in my Dell V305 printer color, but it keep telling me that the color ink levels are low, and I need to change it. How can I change the level of ink estiamted to read correctly?

    These new cartridges, or are they filled with 'Dell Compatible' ones? If they are something like HP refills, they don't reset the printer to recognize the cartridges as complete.
    Have you tried to contact where you bought it to see if it is possibly a faulty cartridge?

  • Photosmart 7510: low ink levels

    The documents are very low when printing. The ink levels are good I have the extra large black cartridge but the printer does not appear to see this!  I cleaned the cartridges more aligned with the printer but the print quality is still poor. How can I fix this.

    Hi @cgc1 and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I understand that you are having print quality problems.  I would like to help!

    I recommend starting by removing the ink cartridges and perform a power reset the printer.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    I also recommend this document on the problems of quality Print to the HP Photosmart 7510

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • 6510 ink level alert

    I have a Photsmart 3210 have recently moved to a printer Photosmart 6510 and must admit to being a little disappointed. The 3210 was a much more robust version, but the main point of this question relates to the ink level monitoring. On the 3210, I got a message saying that the level was low so I could check I had replacements, then, when the cartridge is empty the printer would stop printing until I replaced the empty cartridge. My 6510 gives me a low level warning, but when the cartridge is empty it operates a printing happily, wasting paper and ink of the other three cartridges.  This is how he should behave?   If so, I lose no more ink per throw, until the cartridge is empty or by impression of scrap!   Not a step forward in my mind.  Please let me know if I have something is set incorrectly.  Thank you.

    MikeLinham,

    You are right.  Photosmart 3210 and Photosmart 6510 differ in the way in which they will inform you on the ink.  Photosmart 3210 has a reservoir of print head and did not allow printing to continue with the ink still in the printer.  When print quality is unacceptable for the Photosmart 6510, replace empty ink cartridges.

    Check the ink levels from the front panel of the printer by touching the icon that looks like a drop of ink in the top bar.  If the ink cartridges are not empty, there is a print quality problem and probably the print head needs to be cleaned.  Click here to see a detailed description of which follows the steps of troubleshooting problems of quality printing with the HP Photosmart 6510 e-all-in-one - B211a.

  • I got a low ink warning on my mac for my printer epson artisan 837. I replaced the cartridge, which was low, but he still reads the low ink level on the mac, but full bed on the epson Control Panel.

    Well, I replaced the cartridge as usual, and osx is not that the printer is now complete: says, "printer may be out of ink" on the status. Ink levels will be not displayed via the computer but check out on the printer.

    Restarted both units and in vain.

    WiFi is not a factor.

    If anyone has a solution or any ideas, please help.

    Thank you!

    You can try to disconnect the printer, restart the computer, reconnect with the printer, and then try again.

  • How to disable, disable or reset the ink level warnings and messages

    I spent hours on the internet trying to figure out how to turn it off, disable or reset the ink level warnings and messages. The ink cartridges, I bought are not the expensive brands of HP, but generic print cartridges at a reasonable price. They work great, and I have no problem printing. But apparently HP went through a lot of trouble, making it difficult for customers to disable the annoying low ink level warnings that pester you every time that you try to print a page. It doesn't matter if the ink cartridges are completely full. It is obviously an attempt to punish consumers who buy anything other than HP products. I'm about to recant to never, EVER, buy another HP product again. I'm also about to post horrible comments on Amazon, Ebay, new egg and any other place I can think to warn potential clients of this heinous behavior of HP.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP: print warning of low ink, cartridge black, but is still perfect

    Hello people,

    On the screen of the printer itself and on the computer, I received a warning of low ink in the black cartridge for many months. I have a black cartridge, but I am still able to print with no noticeable decline in quality.

    Should she continue to print with the warning of low ink level can damage the printer or should I just wear until the print quality deteriorates?

    Thank you in advance.

    Tim

    Here, the document says: "warnings level of Toner and indicators to provide estimates for planning only.» When an indicator shows low toner levels, consider having a cartridge replacement available to avoid possible printing delays. Print quality deteriorates as the print to run out of ink cartridges. »

    You can continue printing until the print quality shows signs of deterioration before you need to change the cartrdige.  Do not damage the printer.

  • HP Deskjet 1050 J410 printer: cannot display the estimated ink levels

    Something has changed on my system, so I cannot view the ink levels on my printer Deskjet 1050 J410 estimated.

    When I select the icon "HP Deskjet 1050 J410 series Properties", he used to be option to view estimated ink levels.  This option is gone.  The 4 options that appear now are: 1) the HP printer Assistant (which does nothing), 2). Set preferences, 3). See what's printing and 4). Customize your printer.   None of these options show ink levels.

    I have uninstalled/reinstalled the printer software HP using the DVD supplied with the printer.

    I deleted the printer (using the control panel) and then reinstalled the printer device driver.

    I unplugged/replugged the power and USB printer cables.

    I farm/powered down the system.

    None of the above fixed the problem.

    I'm as Windows 7 Home Premium with MicroSoft's latest fixes.   I don't know when this problem appeared - I noticed when I was printing and got a warning message about the low ink level.

    No idea what caused this problem and how to fix?

    Make sure your store to reset the chip on the cartridge at full level.  If they can't do that, they have done wrong.  Take it for a refund.  To test, install a HP cartridge to see if the message disappears.

    My bad!

    At first I thought it might be the 'electronic device' on the cartridge that was at fault but when I rechecked it against the cartridge I replaced it smelled a bit of light.  I weighed both cartridges on a postal scale and they weighed the oz in 1.9.  It turns out that it was also a used cartridge should I have placed in a container cardboard new cartridge so I thought it was new.  I even found the date that I had written on the cartridge when I initially installed, should have looked more closely.  Detective Conan.

  • Incorrect ink levels - e-all-in-one printers HP Deskjet 3520

    Hello

    I have a HP Deskjet 3520 printer e-all-in-one, which is about 2 months old.

     

    I started having bad black only prints, (very faded and scratches) so downloaded and executed the doctor HP software.

    It shows that I have about 20% of the ink left, then ran two head cleans and problem still there. Checked the levels once again, still 20%, but thought I drop in a new ink cartridge... just to check... and found that the printer now works perfectly!

    So my problem is this. My printer doesn't seem to know the actual levels of my cartridges.

    Can it be solved or the printer is faulty?


    Hi, sorry if the wording of my post was confusing. The graphical representation of the level of ink remaining in the supply are estimates and are intended to be used as such. The most accurate indication is low on ink e-mail alert that you receive when you have the option "show me ink immediately alerts" selected in the printer software. Now that you have this option is selected, you will receive a notification that you are weak ink before printing quality begins to deteriorate. Of course you can always print with supplies after receiving a low ink message but will increase your chances for print quality problems.

    Best.
