Can't find tool box to check ink level - HP 6310 using Vista 2007

Usually you can find the ink levels in the software. you can do this by right clicking on the printer icon under printers if you're using windows

Try this:
Press the Setup button on the printer control panel.
Press the right arrow key until Tools is selected. Press OK.
Display Ink Gauge should be the first item. Press OK.

Hi,

Normally there are 2 different ways to check ink level on any HP printer

First one is :

IF your printer is HP Officejet 6500 Wireless AIO,

Press Setup button ( ranch like symbol ) on printer front panel
Use Arrow key ( left or right arrow ) till you find Tools option - Press OK
User Arrow key to find Ink Level or Ink Gauge - Press OK.
It should display the ink level.

If it does not display ink level through this method, it could be for many reasons like printer is not aligned or one of the cartridge is not recognized etc.

2nd method is from PC
Open HP Solution Center
Click on Settings
Click on Printer tool box
Click on Ink level

if you are using a refilled catridge you would not get ink levels right.
if you want right ink level use genuine ink catridges.
you can try taking out the catridges turning off the printer and turning it back on and then reinstalling the catridges.it might not help so if possible buy hp ink catridges.

only wy to check levels is to install the software that is part of the printer it will give you ink levels as they go down

It could be the drive has become corrupted and should be reloaded, but to see ink levels all you have to do is to go to settings, and right click on the one you want to see, in order to display its properties.

i think the problem is on that software.pls check the software cd or DVd. if it is fully compatible with windows vista.

slowly off and on the printer for five times without cartridge, printer saves data of cart of last 5 only so next time it reads full ink..

Yes. Never refill or buy refilled ink carts.
