  • 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?

    Thank you

  • The estimated ink levels icon has disappeared, what should I do?

    Running Windows 7, I have a printer HP all-in-one Deskjet 1051.  I tried to uninstall the printer software and then install again, it has not helped.  Still can't find icon estimated ink levels.  It is really useful for me to be able to check my ink level to know if I'm going to run out.  Help, please.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    This happens because of the embedded OS through Microsoft Update and reinstall the same version of software will not solve it.

    Uninstall the software by following the uninstall folder on the start menu of the printer option, then download and install the latest software below, which should bring you any functionality back:

  • Feature of printer HP Deskjet 2050 J510 estimated ink level

    Does anyone know why the shortcut of printer HP Deskjet 2050 has more estimated ink level functionality?  That is until 05/12/12, and now the entire window has changed. "Now it has only the options to 'See whats printing' and 'Customize your printer' Set preferences.  I can't find any reference to the updates that may have changed, so I have no restore points.  The only thing that has changed recently is the new version of the HP Support Assistant.  This would have an effect on the printer software?

    Problem solved by downloading lasted driver according to the instructions.

  • Printer - can't check ink levels.

    Hello

    I have a Deskjet printer All - in - one 3050, it is connected and I can print and all.

    However, the problem is, when I open the software and click on 'Estimated ink levels', I no longer get this error message.

    "An error (83e8e8fa) occurred this operation" or 'Unable to communicate with the network device'.

    I tried Googling the error code but no results, I also searched the HP online help, but again, I couldn't find anything.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    The printer is connected to the network?

    Are you able to scan from the software or the printer scan button?

    If the printer is on a network, there is another way to check ink levels. Make a note of the IP of the printer, open the Internet Explorer browser and type the IP Address of the printer address to open the Web page. Here you can see all the info.

I was looking through some difficulties other people had , and I have heard that some printers do not have this feature available because of their type of printer, so this is my case? or I did something wrong on my installation? because I'm sure I got this role until may so it makes no sense really does not have now...

  • Check the ink levels HP 4215 with windows 7?

    I bought a new desktop computer with Windows 7. Old unit was Windows XP. The installation disk supplied with the HP 4215 printer does not support Windows 7. But windows 7 OS has the inbedded of drivers so I'm able to use HP 4215.

    Drivers are limited to functions for this printer. No "HP Director", no kits, no way I know to check the ink levels is graphically on the screen, or an impression on.

    HP offers that print "Self Test Page" using the printer panel keys. The only Self Test page that can be printed is the 'Self Test report'. Who only give me various technical info and prints 4 large bars of color. It does not print the ink levels!

    HP.com says he should appear on a page of paper, ink levels. Nope! Can not get to do.

    Someone first hand experience in the visualization of the level of ink for 4215 HP with Windows 7?

    Thank you.

    Hi printer123xxx,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! Yes you are right, you have some basic functions of the printer now, as for the self-test page that can be printed from the control panel this unfortunately does not include the estimated ink levels.

    I would like that run you HP print and scan doctor- it was designed by HP to offer users the features and troubleshooting problem needed to solve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan the products related to Windows computers.

    The PSDR does not include the services of printer that may be just what to check the estimated ink levels, I can't guarantee that it works, but it has an option of ink level.

    Please let me know if it worked for you, I'll watch for your reply.

    Thank you
