Hi Dear,

This document will discribe the info regarding ink level for HP-Printer  in  Ubuntu.

Please follow the following steps :-

  1. Connect your HP printer to your computer using USB or Parallel cable.
  2. Make sure your printer is powered ON.
  3. Open the HP Device Manager by entering the following command in a console/terminal.

                                  # hp-toolbox

4.  Click your HP printer in the left panel and then click on the                      ”Supplies” tab.

5.  Here it will show information about Ink Level of your HP-Printer                cartridge.

Trouble shotting for above steps :-

While running the hp-toolbox command if you get the following error

error: PyQt not installed. GUI not available. Exiting

so just go to synaptic by running synaptic command on terminal & install the python-qt3 package.

Then run apt-get update command on terminal , then run again the hp-toolbox command. It will shurely work.

Thanking You
