How do you check how much ink is left in a cartridge? -

just wondering, i have Windows XP and i wanna check the amount of ink left in the cartridge but i don t know how.

if you installed the printer using the software CD then the quot;HP Solution Centerquot; is on the desktop. Just open it when the printer is connected via USB cable and it will let you know the ink levels. However if the ink cartridge has been refilled then sorry you cant know the ink levels because the electronic chip does not reset.Just go on printing until copies start fading.

If you installed the software that came with the printer, there should be a quick start or desktop icon that allows you to check ink levels. Otherwise, print until your are out of ink. The software is only a guess of the ink level based upon the amount of printing that has been done.

Which kind of printer? You may need to contact the manufacturer of the catridge.
