check the ink levels
You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need
to replace a print cartridge. The ink level supply shows an approximation of the
amount of ink remaining in the print cartridges. Checking the ink levels can only
be done from the HP Director with the HP Officejet turned on and connected.
