HP deskjet 2542: misreading of the ink levels

Please explain how I had no color, 2 weeks ago... I replaced the color cartridge... almost no black... has the expectation of the cartridge...

When I got an error ink level today--miraculously, the black filled itself and the color is almost gone again.

Hi @Rameris55,

Thanks for letting me know that the color cartridge was the culprit.

I would still Contact the HP Support and inquire about a replacement cartridge, if you do not have a replacement already at the store. Check the model number and the form to receive a file number for faster assistance. Thank you.

  • DeskJet 4625: HP deskjet 4625 does not show ink levels in app AiO

    Two related problems please, it seems Windows 10 last updated:

    1. after the update, I was able to get the printer going again to remove and reinstall then using the latest HP driver (from the HP site) and as a plugged USB printer. Works fine, but I see no longer the ink levels. AiO says "information is not available at this time." Can someone tell how can I see the suply of ink levels. Don't help out them and their detention until the window!

    2. I would like to go back to a wireless connection that I had before the cleaned Windows 10 update only. Should I reinstall completely? We have dubious wireless here and I had connected the TWO Wireless USB before which was easy because I've always had a connection. Is it still possible?

  • DeskJet 1000 J110 stopped check ink levels

    Hello

    I have a Deskjet 1000 J110 and I am running Windows 7.

    The HP software used to allow me to check the ink levels, now he doesn't. I checked no more than 3 weeks without problem. Now, when I tried to check them, the option simply wasn't there. I don't know, but I think that the shortcut on the menu HP folder go the Control Panel Printers folder and not the HP software as it used to.

    Someone has an idea of what could be the problem?

    See you soon!

    Hi seileach,.

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I read your post and to see that the Printer Wizard is not open to view ink levels when you click on the shortcut of the printer.
    I'll be happy to help you.

    Try to go to start, all programs, HP Deskjet 1000 J110, and then click the J110 Deskjet 1000 again to see if the printer wizard will now open in this way.

    If this isn't the case, then most likely the driver is damaged. I uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

    Uninstalling the printer software.

    HP Deskjet 1000 printer - J110a drivers.

    Select your operating system, click Next and click on the software to download and install.

    Now try and access the Printer Wizard.

    I hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Black ink does not show in the ink level monitor!

    Not only black ink printing will not be - I noticed that it is missing in the ink level monitor!  I have an Officejet 6500 has more.

    This printer has always been reliable.  Hope that it is not dead.

    Would appreciate help.  Thank you!

    Jerends,

    I found the problem minutes after posting the problem.  The cartridge, I bought was defective.  Never had a problem with before HP inks - I guess it was my turn.

    Thanks anyway!

  • How to find the function to remove the ink level

    Can someone please tell me how to find the function "for the removal of the ink level window" I need know when I use no to factory ink cartridges. I have Windows XP, but this is probably not important.

    Hi Laura,

    Find things such as ink levels is a function of the printer driver.

    This is provided by the manufacturer of the printer, and they are the best resource on the operation of their particular drivers.  Therefore, it is best to ask the manufacturer of the printer for advice on this issue.

    Sometimes, there is an icon in the taskbar that you can get this information.  Yet once, it is a function of the driver and the printer software.

  • HP 6122 and find the ink level utility?

    Hi all

    It's my first post here, so this is.  I have the above printer and am running the latest Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6.  I understand the usefulness for my printer is integrated into the OS and rises as 3.3.2 HP printer utility.

    My colors have changed and I think I'm running out of one of the two ink cartridges - or maybe both.   I'm not able to check the ink levels and to instead come with "information not available".

    Here is how I come on this point:

    For example, I use Safari as my browser and I select "File" then "print" in the top toolbar.  A drop down menu of the icon of my HP 6122 (Docked (attached in my lower toolbar) shows several elements that one is in the lower left, but need you only to Apple's site to buy ink.  Under your search under any triangle does not have an ink level indicator.

    However, if I select 'print' then of course starts the printing process, and another menu drop-down will appear according to which "the production level" and an "icon of the utility" are present in the upper right.  By selecting the 'level of supply' icon will reveal a title of 'general', ' pilot 'and level.' "  By clicking on 'level of production', this is where I met "information not available".

    My printer is connected to an Apple base station with 'Hello' and I can make prints throughout the day, no problem.  The printer is recognized, but why no ink only info level?

    Now, one thing that crossed my mind was the fact that I re-fabricated black and tricolor cartridges in the machine right now, but I was told (ink stop) the chip is reset by them at the factory working entirely new.  Hmm, all opinions on this or solutions?  Also, is there a way to physically select one of the buttons on the front panel, which can print a page that displays ink levels?  I don't have a manual for the machine.

    Thanks a bunch,

    Jack

    I believe you can print a test page which will show you the following ink levels: with the printer on press and hold the Power button, then press the X button once, then release the power button.

    If the above does not work then the following should: turn on the printer.  Now press in and hold the power button while pressing the X key 8 times and then on the button continue 4 times, then release the power button.
