How to get ink levels, Windows 7, C4795

[SpotALoony]

I have seen various posts on how to get ink levels for a C4700 series printer under Windows 7 but all are dead ends for me. Various programs are suggested such as HP Device Toolbox, HP Printer Assistant and HP Solution Center however having downloaded and installed the full driver set to my PC these three programs are not installed, with the only HP programs available being HP Support Assistant and HP Application Assistant.

I've also gone to Devices and Printers and check Printing Preferences, Properties, etc without finding a display of the ink levels.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in Advance,

Hi @SpotALoony,

Thank you for joining the HP Forums! 

I read your post that you are trying to find the ink levels for your HP Photosmart c4795 printer on Windows 7. And, I am happy to help! 

You can use the HP Print and Scan Doctor to check the printer's ink levels and to view cartridge details such as install dates, warranty dates, and serial numbers.

1. On the desktop, double-click the HP Print and Scan Doctor icon  to open the tool.

2. Under the Product heading of the Welcome screen, click the name of your printer, and then click Next.

   Figure : Click the name of your printer

   

3. In the HP Print and Scan Doctor window, click Printer.

   Figure : Click Printer in the HP Print and Scan Doctor window

   

4. In the drop-down menu, select Supply Levels or Ink Levels.

   Figure : Click Supply Levels in the drop-down menu

   

   The tool displays the estimated ink levels.
