the HP Device Manager entry.

2. Select the device from the Devices drop-down menu.

From here, you can check for software updates, configure more software options,
and perform maintenance procedures such as checking the ink levels for the ink
cartridges.

NOTE: On a Macintosh computer, the features available in the HP Device
Manager vary depending on the selected device.
Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only.
When you receive an ink alert message, consider having a replacement cartridge
available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace cartridges
until print quality becomes unacceptable.
