Hp 8600 software no longer shows ink level.

Recently  the 8600 software on windows 7 showed the ink levels of the printer.  This function is no longer availalbe.  Also, there is no tab tht shows this.  Can it be retrieved.
This question was solved.

If your printer is connected by wired or wireless LAN you can enter the IP address of the printer (found from the front panel by touching the wireless icoon or by printing a network configuration page) in your browser.  This will bring up the printer's embedded web server, which provides various information including ink levels.  You can also get the ink levels from the front panel by touching the ink droplets icon on the front panel.

  • My officejet 7000 stopped showing ink level remaining

    do i need to re-install my officejet 7000 as it no longer shows ink levels remaining.

    Hi, this could be due to the lost of bi directional communication between your device and the printer. Follow the link below to try to re establish this connection.

  • HP Photosmart Premium c 309g will not print black, all other colors fine. Shows ink levels fine,

    Have photosmart premium c309 g connected wirelessly to I Mac and Mac book pro.  The unit suddenly will not print black.  Ink levels show all good.  All other colors print fine.  When check HP utility and go to print quality diagnostics, a box appears that states cannot print PQ page--make sure printer is turned on.  If I tell it to print a page, it immediatly connects and prints all colors but not black.  How can it print regular page but not receive message to print PQ page?  "make sure printer is on" ??

    I have this exact same problem with the same printer.  Printer will not print black. My macbook pro is connecting to the printer but shoots out a blank page.  I just put in a new ink cartridge even though it was not low on ink.  Please help.

  • Ink level no longer displays

    My C4280 (I have Vista) has stopped automatically showing ink levels when printing (the cartridges are HP , not refilled or remanufactured). Can anyone tell me how this can be restored?
      Meanwhile I’ve tried “Method One (using HP Solution Centre)” but at the window’s top right it says “Ink levels not currently available”, and in Toolbox it says: “The computer is unable to establish two-way communication with the device.”
    With “Method Two” am not quite sure what is meant by “the software program”, but in Windows just General, Security and Details. Going straight to Print doesn’t offer any Properties.Photo Gallery, for example, clicking File doesn’t offer a Print option in the dropdown, and on clicking Properties there is no Services tab.

    Sometimes in thr rush to download the software you forget the other (sibling) programs.

  • Hp psc 2110 all-in-one ink level status

    This is an old printer, the owner's manual has a 2002 copyright date.   I thought all printer, even one this old, would be able to display the ink status of the various cartridges on my computer screen.  I talked to tech support and they said to download the driver and a printer icon should be displayed on the bottom right of my screen.  This laptop has Windows 7 and all the HP drivers are supposed to be downloaded automatically.  I tried to update the driver from hp.com but it didn't really do anyting.  There still is no printer icon on the bottom right of my screen.  Tech support said that when I click on the icon I should be able to get to a page that shows ink levels for cartridges.  Anybody have any ideas?
    Thank you for your help.  I'm a bit of a novice here.

    Welcome to the forums hifiguy69!
    I saw your post about wanting to check the ink levels on your PSC 2110 model. With Windows 7 the full software package is not available, therefore you will not be able to see the ink levels from your desktop.
    However, if you are to print a self-test, this may show the ink levels.
    To print a self test:
    On the printer, select Setup or Menu until "Print Report" displays, then select Enter.
    I hope my post helped!

  • How do I check on ink levels?cc=us

    Until recently, a popup would frequently appear showing ink levels.  I just ran a very poor copy, so I need to replace inks, but I don't know which ones.  How can I get that popup to show me?

  • Power PC 7455 v3.3 (tech 0) shows no level 3 cache

    My old G4 which acts as an iTunes and video/TV server recently started misbehaving. iTunes and CyTV enabled streaming EyeTV suddenly pauses for several seconds and then resumes. I put this down to Leopard and reinstalled Tiger but the problem has persisted. So after many days looking for the problem I finally discovered that the CPU is no longer showing any Level 3 Cache (there should be 1Mb per CPU but CHUD Prefs processor panel says there is only 256Kb of Level 2 Cache and defaults to none from 2Mb Level 3 when selected.
    Did Leopard do something to this machine (Dual 1.42GHz PPC with Mirrored Doors) which Tiger cannot correct or has the Level 3 Cache failed? Anyone here know of a way I can determine this accurately and re-activate the 2 Mb Level 3 Cache if Leopard broke/deactivated it...?
    Thanks.

    Your level 3 cache chip has been destroyed.. You will require a new processor daughter card. Oh, 2MB/processor is 4MB total L3 cache.. my G4 2003 MDD dual 1.25 reports 2MB/processor = 4MB overall.
    You need to get a new processor board - $249 at mac-pro.com

  • Won't show ink status levels

    I have an HP Officejet 6310xi All-in-One that I've had for quite a while. I used to be able to bring up the ink level status but not anymore. I had a bluetooth connection and thought that was the problem. But I switched to a USB cable to be able to check and got the same thing. I did turn the printer off and reboot the computer and then powered the printer up with the USB cable but got the same message it can't show levels as it couldn't establish two way communication. I might as well plug the BT back in if I can't resolve this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Lynn

    Hi,
    Has anything recently changed... like installing new software packages or updates?  You could print a self test page that provides the ink levels.  Here is a document from the product support page for the HP OJ 6310xi. 
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c02030504&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=1120043&tmp​...
    If you didn't want to print the self test page, then I would uninstall and reinstall the the printer to see if that helps.  or you might even run the print diagnostic tool.  This can sometimes automatically fix the problem.

  • HP 6500A - Can't get into printer "control panel software" to check ink level, etc.

    First let me apologize... I don't know what the correct name is for the software that starts up when you use the printer icon that was installed on my computer's desktop when I installed the printer.  I am calling it the "control panel software" for want of a better name.
    My printer was setup to work wirelessly on my wireless network and was working fine.  The "control panel software" worked fine when I click on the icon on my desktop and I was able to check the ink levels, etc.
    I just got a new router and so I had to reconfigure my printer to use my new wireless network settings.  It wasn't working properly, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall the HP software for the printer.  As part of this it put a new icon on my computer's desktop for accessing the printer "control panel software", another new icon for the scan function, and another for the ePrint Service.
    The printer works fine... I can print and scan properly.  It successfully connected to my new wireless network and I thought all was well.  However, this is not the case.
    What is weird is that the "control panel software" icon doesn't take me to the control panel functions any more.  When I click on it it takes me back through the process of setting up the printer connection (wireless, wired, USB) again.  If I go through that again it tells me everything is installed and lets me set the default printer again and then asks me to register again.  So... I think I'm done, but then if I click on the icon again, it goes through this same process again. 
    Is there any way to stop this endless connection setup and just get to the "control panel software"?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    What operating system?  I recommend not using the software CD as it may be out of date.  Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
