For almost all HP printers you can click on the Printer Ink Tool Box at any time to see how much ink is left in your cartridges. If you have gotten used to using this too, a problem like this can be problematic. What can you do?

First, some HP printers allow you to check ink cartridge levels right from the printer. Check your printer user manual to see if your printer has this feature.

If you can’t check ink levels directly on the printer you will need to reload some printer software to your computer.

It might be the case that the drivers, originally installed, have become corrupted. Simply uninstall the drivers that are currently on your computer and reinstall them either from the disc that came with your printer or from the HP’s web site.
