Check HP printer ink or toner levels

Check HP printer ink or toner levels

Check ink or toner levels regularly to estimate how much ink or toner remains. When ink or toner becomes low, consider purchasing replacement supplies to have on hand.

Install a new cartridge or reload toner when the ink or toner is depleted or no longer provides acceptable print quality.

NOTE:

Did you know more than 80% of Original HP ink cartridges and 100% of Original HP toner cartridges are now manufactured with recycled content? All HP cartridges are designed with sustainability in mind. Go to HP Planet Partners - Supplies recycling program to learn more.

Check ink or toner levels from the printer control panel

Many HP printers display ink and toner levels on the control panel.

Look for an Ink drop icon, a Cartridge icon, an Ink Levels menu, or a Toner Level indicator.

Check ink or toner levels with the HP Smart app

Use the HP Smart app to check the ink or toner levels for your printer.

  1. Open the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device. To install the app, go to 123.hp.com.

  2. View the Estimated supply levels next to the printer image. It might take a few minutes for the ink or toner levels to display.

Check ink or toner levels (Windows)

Check ink levels (HP Ink Tank and Smart Tank printers)

Visually check the printer ink levels in the ink tank window.

Maintain the printer ink levels between the maximum and minimum fill lines.

CAUTION:

Ink levels below the minimum fill line can cause poor print quality. Ink levels above the maximum fill line can result in leaks. Damage to the printer as a result of improperly filling the ink tanks or using non-HP ink is not covered under warranty.

Check toner levels (HP LaserJet Tank printers)

Use the toner gauge on the front of the printer to check the toner level. The gauge bar values are estimated toner levels and may vary slightly from the actual toner level.

When the bottom bar on the gauge glows steadily and the toner level indicator blinks continuously with an amber light, printing stops until more toner is added.
