Check the estimated ink levels

replace a print cartridge. The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink
remaining in the print cartridges.

be replaced.
NOTE: The HP Photosmart can only detect the ink levels for genuine HP ink. The

ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the device and cartridges
for printing, and in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing
smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more
information, see
