No Ink level check with Windows 7

Hello.
Is there a way to check ink levels of my HP Officejet K7100 in Windows 7?
It was fine when I used Vista, but since getting a Windows 7(64 bit) operating system I do not have the facility.
The printer works OK with the new computer - just no ink level check. The new drivers came from within Windows 7 and there does not seem to be the facility to download any others direct from HP.
Thanks

Hi Malcom,
Unfortunately, there is only the driver that is inside of Windows 7 for the HP Officejet K7100 and the "in operating system" driver doesn't contain the capability for ink level checking.
I've attached a link to a document from the product support page that indicates the loss in functionality such as ink level checking. It is down in step 4 (mistakenly labeled step 3 in the document as there is a step 3 above this step) labeled "Learn about the changes you can expect with the in-OS driver".

Ink Level Check GONE!

Photosmart 7150 -- FINALLY got it to work in Windows 7 Home Premium (64Bit) And THAT was way more of a struggle than it should have been!
I realize the HP "toolbox" is too ancient to even open in Win7 (it was from Windows 98, no?) but there has to be a way to:
Check ink levels
Print a color nozzle check page
clean the print head
SO...I give up...how do I do it?

Hi, I found this doc which may help with cleaning....

How to check ink levels of a 4620 using windows 8.1

Hi krmoss,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I see that you would like to learn how to check the ink levels on your Officejet 4620 printer.
The steps on how to check the estimated ink levels can be found in your User Guide on page 74 in the section titled “To check the estimated ink levels from the printer control panel”. If you have installed the full feature software and driver for your printer onto your computer you can open up the HP Solution Center and check the from there as well.

Can't check ink levels with Airport Express

The manual for my brand new Epson printer says that I can not check ink levels if I print using Airport. I am wondering why. Is this a Mac OS problem or an Epson problem? If it's Apple's, is there a fix on the way? I can check ink levels only if I connect the printer directly to the computer. A bit of a pain.

Hoodtrunk:
I have several Epson printers and have the same issue. My understanding is that the print driver created by Epson does not support anything but printing over Airport. In my case I have an all-in-one unit and in addition to not being able to run the printer utility over Airport, I also cannot scan. I have to connect the printer to the Mac via USB for the scanning software to recognize it.

New Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard, can't check Epson R320 ink levels

Hello,
A lady on the phone at Epson told me how to do this a few months ago, but I've forgotten, and I can't find the secret again. I keep getting "not available".
Anybody know how to do this?
Thank you.

This is a tough one for Epson, too. They are quite helpful, and are going to call me back today, after we were trying to fix this for 40 min. yesterday. A new driver for Snow Leopard is coming, but they want to find a way for me to see ink levels now.

Unable to check HP printer ink levels via Supply Levels

I've got an HP Photosmart 8450 printer, and so far no printing problems with 10.5.1. However, I can't check ink levels in the printer via the "Supply Levels" window, and I can't find another way to see this information. I'm using the printer driver supplied with 10.5.1.
This information was available under 10.4.11 - is there a way to obtain printer ink levels in 10.5.1?

I loaded mine from the 10.5.1 disk, but it's a separate operation from the main install. There's an optional install folder on the 10.5.1 disk with the info.
Load the system disk for your iMac and look at it in the Finder to see if there's a similar optional install folder. Then, there's always the HP website if you can find the driver there . . .
Regarding how you've got the 8450 printer set up, why not put the printer directly on the (ethernet?) hub rather than hanging it off the Vista laptop? There's an Ethernet port on that printer, and that's one of the reasons I picked that model. Your iMac probably can't see the printer the way you've configured things. Bonjour will be able to find the printer and get you hooked up with the printer directly on the hub.

Checking ink levels

I am unable to check ink levels. I have followed advice elsewhere on the HP Support and have gone the route of "All Programs/HP/HP3050 etc/HP3050 etc" which should offer me the check ink option, but after clicking on the last HP 3050 I get nothing! I have installed the Full feature Software and Drivers but still no joy. I am running Windows 7 with a wireless connection. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Can't print checks on HP 3310 (with Windows 7)

Hi,
I'm using Quicken 2011 Home & Business on a Windows 7 (64 bit) laptop. I downloaded the latest software from HP for my HP Photosmart 3310 All-in-One printer. The laptop and printer are connected via a wireless home network. The HP software says the two machines are properly connnected, and I can print a test page. I can also print from my word processing software. But when I try to print a single check, I get an error from the printer, saying the paper is the wrong size or type. But it isn't.
Quicken tech support tried a bunch of things to get the checks to print, but had no luck. I was told the problem was with HP.
So, does anyone out there have any idea how to get the HP 3310 to print these checks?
I'd greatly appreciate any help you could provide.
-- Steve

Thanks HevnLgh,
Thanks for your time and efforts in answering my issue re viewing ink levels for HP 4215. I followed your suggestions in running the "HP Print and Scan Dortor for Windows."
I went through this utility and printed a "Test Page." But no ink levels on this page.
Alas, I did look at the pull down: Printer>Printer Services...
also Printer>Ink Levels...
The Ink Levels page on the monitor does not have any ink level info. Below the notification that ink levels are approximate, it is blank. No pictorial at all. Just a large blank area.
Printer Services shows data concerning the printer, i.e. Version number, warranty info. But no levels.
Thank you again. I will check the box that my question was answered... basically, I have only limited fuctions for this printer.
I am resolved with the fact this is a rather old printer being used with a rather newer OS (Windows 7) and that I will just not be able to check ink levels.
Again, thank you for you help.
R.T.
