Estimated ink cartridge levels office jet 7210

[nL7]

How can I check the estimated ink cartridge levels on my office jet 7210 as I cannot find HP director on windows 7 so cannot find tabs for printer toolbox, print properties, services, estimated ink level.

If you have installed the drivers, then you should be able to go to Start->Devices and Printers->Right-Click on your printer, click printing preferences, find the services\estimated ink levels

Thank you Scolton.  I have tried what you say - found printer, right click, printing preferences - so far so good - tabs available; advanced, shortcuts, quality, effects, finishing, colour but sadly no services

Hmm... let me bring out my old hp and try some things. Are you sure that you installed the correct driver?

Oooh the 'D' word!  I don't know what driver is installed, sorry.  When I bought my new computer (HP Pavilion g) 'Steve' (he who makes a living looking after things technological) installed everything and downloaded driver for printer as it would not load from printer discs (ah the good old days when things were on disc!)

Sounds like the story of my life. Download and install this driver --> ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL30951/mp-76831-1/AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe

And tell me how it goes.

Oooh another scary thing!  Thank you for your help but as discussed, I am a scardy cat novice, this is my first time on a forum, am highly suspicious of everything and everyone so will copy address of driver and show it to Steve for approval on Wednesday and let you know how I get on.  Many thanks.

Okay I understand.
