In the Print Properties dialog box, select Printing Preferences, click the Features tab, and then click Printer Services. Click the Estimated Ink Levels tab. note: A cartridge might be running out of ink even if the graphic shows ink remains in the cartridge.
On the printer control panel, touch the Setup icon , and then touch Tools. Touch Display Estimated Ink Levels. The estimated ink levels display.
On your computer, in the Windows Notification Area (bottom-right corner of your Windows desktop), right-click the printer icon. In the printer menu, select the Properties or Preferences option. In the printer settings window, the ink or toner levels are displayed for the currently-installed cartridge(s).
Sometimes it can be difficult to isolate which cartridge needs to be replaced. The easiest way check is to run a test print on your printer. Most printers have a test print or diagnostic print option built into their software. A test print prints out a diagnostic pattern of all of your cartridges.
On the printer control panel, press the Home button to open the Home screen. Press the Down Arrow to select Ink Levels, and then press OK. The control panel displays the estimated ink levels.
Click: `Open the HP Photosmart Toolbox` or: `Service this device` Click: Device Services tab. Click: Calibrate the Device or Clean the Print Cartridges or Align the printer. Follow the instruction which will appear on-screen.
What does the number on ink cartridges mean? The number on an ink cartridge allows you to identify if an ink cartridge is compatible with the printer you are trying to use them in. For example, HP 304 inks are compatible with the HP Deskjet 2630 as well as the HP Envy 5032 Ink.
No matter which size you go with, the cartridge will install the exact same way in your printer. In fact, the physical cartridge size is the same regardless of the yield – the only difference is the amount of ink inside the cartridge. The higher the yield, the more ink you get, which translates to more prints!

HP Photosmart 8750 intermittent serv. stat. stuck
ANSWER : I had this error after the printer sat idle for many months. I thought it was the cartridge drive belt stretching, because it was extremely loose and wouldn’t move the carriage due to slippage. Then I noticed there was a gear belt tensioner to the right side that had some movement. Sure enough, when I shined a flashlight into the ink reservoir, there was a spring that had fallen down inside. Looking at the plastic belt tensioner, it looks as if the spring was held on by a plastic post that had broken off. This is most likely the cause of many of these errors, because the plastic break is very clean and not readily visible, (a design flaw in my opinion). Rather than trying to replace the part, I am going to try tapping a hole in the plastic and inserting a machine screw that can hold the tension spring in place. It also looks like the metal notch for the right hand loop of the spring, would not prevent the spring from slipping off at some point, so using a metal file to enlarge the notch may be necessary. If you’re lucky, your spring may have just popped off and is inside the ink reservoir. This may be one reason why the printer was discontinued so soon. One lousy five dollar part makes the whole printer worthless… I use this this printer primarily because it is easy to clean the heads by removing the carts, instead of having to disassemble the whole damn thing, as in ink tank designs. It makes beautiful 13×19 prints with better color accuracy than my Vivera 6 ink printer.

incompatible ink cartridge message
ANSWER : Pretty much nothing else you can do except try another new cartridge. I had 2 identical HP printers once in the shop. One of them didn’t like one of the cartridges. I swapped it over with the other printers cartridge and it was happy. So was the other printer. Swapped the cartridges back and it didn’t like it again. How do you explain that? You don’t.
