Estimated Ink Level feature in HP Deskjet 2050 J510 printer

Does anyone know why the shortcut of the HP Deskjet 2050 printer no longer has the estimated ink level feature?  It was there until 12/5/12 and now the entire window has changed. Now it only has the options to "See whats printing", "Customize your printer", and Set preferences".  I can.t find any reference to any updates that may have changed this, thus I have no restore point.  The only thing that has changed recently is the new version of the HP Support Assistant.  Could this have an effect on the printer software?

@rodustep,
The fix for this issue would be to uninstall current software and download the lastest drivers for your printer. I am linking you to the software and driver page just select operating system and select full feature driver.
Deskjet 2050
Let me know how it goes.

  • Why cant i get printer cartridges for my hp deskjet 2050 j510 printer?

    This is  a new printer -bought for our small family business as part of HP package.
    I have had many HP printers and am a loyal customer.
    Few of the main printer cartridge suppliers seem to stock the cartridges for this printer.  
    I have never encountered this problem before.
    Anyone encountered this and solved it?
    I am in South East of England

    Hi SEBALOGAC,
    I don't know why the cartridges are hard to find in your area. Perhaps the stores are limiting their stock in these difficult economic times?
    However, you can always order the cartridges online at:

  • I can't determine the ink levels for my HP Deskjet 6940

    When I right-click the printer object, choose [Printing Preferences], select the [services] tab, and click the [Service this device] button I get an error message:
    A required printer file is either missing or corrupted. Reinstall the HP printing software that came with your device and try again.
    I've deleted the printer object and reinstalled it, choosing not to use the existing driver. The problem remained. There is no printer driver to download from HP, it uses the driver that's part of my Windows 7 Home Premium x64 operating system. I ran the MS System File Checker and it reported no problems.
    How do I check the ink levels?
    Thanks.
    Keith

    This patch will restore the ink level feature. It is located at the web support page for your printer.

    What Operating System are you using? Windows or Mac? What version?
    Can you make copies with the printer?
    Is the power cable plugged into a surge protector or directly to the wall outlet? Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Are you using Genuine HP cartridges or refills?

  • My HP Deskjet 2050 J510 can NOT scan for my MBA.

    My HP Deskjet 2050 J510 can NOT scan with my MBA. It could not print before I download the printer driver as described in the below link...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
    After install the printer drive...
    Now the printing function works fine, but the scan function won't work. Could anyone give me a suggestion to make both printing and scanner functions work?
    Thank you
    Bill

    Try to re-install the drivers and software for the printer. 
    You can also try to run the print and scan doctor, and see if it will auto-fix it.

  • HP DeskJet 2050 j510 doesn't scan

    Hi.
    I've followed instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sa … P_hardware to configure HP DeskJet 2050 j510 but I still can't make scanner to work.
    XSane just throws lots of error windows with I/O errors.
    scanimage gives this:
    scanimage: sane_start: Error during device I/O
    Closing device
    Calling sane_exit
    scanimage: finished
    In journal I see the following:
    Jun 06 20:18:42 localhost.localdomain scanimage[7307]: scan/sane/http.c 346: invalid http_status=500

    Jun 06 20:18:43 localhost.localdomain scanimage[7307]: scan/sane/http.c 189: timeout reading data sec_timeout=1
    What could that be? I've google a lot, but still can't figure out what's the problem

  • Print page preview wont load hp deskjet 2050 j510 series , windows xp

    Hello euless609, It won't load print preview at all or it is blank?Multiple programs or a specific program?Has the issue always happened or is this a new recent occurance?

    Hello eluess609, It's happening with multiple programs on your computer? Print Preview is not a software component that is dependant of a printer. So you can have no printers installed, but still have print preview. If it's failing it's likely something on the OS level that is causing the issue.
    Does print preview work in safe mode?Can you include a screenshot of what you are seeing? I have seen numerous reports of print preview not working in Chrome, but your issue seems to be with many programs so that doesn't appear to be the same issue.
