Office Jet 6830: Check color ink levels? Replace only what is necessary?
Hello collected wisdom! Is is possible to control the levels of ink on this printer and if so replace the individual color cartridges? I seem to use a lot of blue and you want to replace the yellow and red if they are still full. It seems unnecessary. I know that I have to buy the three colors together, but still...
Hi @Kathyd1290,
Of course, you can check the ink levels for each cartridge of the screen of the printer and its software.
Follow these steps to locate the ink from the screen of the printer or the software levels, each ink cartridge is indicated separately:
Kind regards

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

I want to check on my printer ink levels, but there is no way I can see to do since I installed
Windows 8.1 on my computer. There must be another way to check it out, but I can't figure out how.
Hi @sneakers1491,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're wondering how to check the ink with your HP Officejet J4540 levels. I'm happy to help you!
First of all, I recommend going through this guide, check the ink levels for HP Officejet J4500 and J4600 all-in-One Printer Series.
If this does not work for you, on the printer itself, press the key icon in the upper right corner, it will take you to settings, then continue to press the right arrow until you see print report, then press OK. You will see the self-test on the screen, press OK again. Will display the test page, and then you will see the level of ink on the printed page.
I hope this information helps!

How can I check the ink levels for my CX8400 Epson on Windows 7
When I bring the properties for my Epson CX8400 it no longer displays ink levels in Windows 7 as in Windows XP PRO. I like and need that have so I know which cartridge to change. Thank you

Hello
See if there are updated drivers available. Start http://www.epson.com/ and then work your way to the drivers & support > your model.
However, given the age of the printer, if there are drivers available, they cannot provide all the features that were available in XP updated.
I have a situation similar as some features of the tool for my HP 2575 (levels of ink, for one) who worked under XP do not work on Vista, even with updated drivers.
