Anyway to get a printed page count?

[choddo]

I switched to my own cartridges from Instant Ink back in Feb. This is on a 6970. I bought £48 of cartridges (from HP) and it's lasted 6 months (so would have been only £18 on Instant Ink even after the price hike). And I haven't changed my printing habits. Maybe did up to 6 x 30 page GCSE papers in that time but they were mostly black & white and it's the red & yellow that have run out. Seems like it's run out fast but I wondered if it's possible to check my printer history, can't see an obvious way to do that.

Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you want to know the printed page count, I am glad to assist you.

You can print a status report and check the total pages printed.

Here are the steps:- 

• Load plain white paper in the input tray.
• From the home screen on the printer control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard, and then touch the Setup icon .
• Swipe up on the display, and then touch Reports.
• Swipe up on the display, and then touch Printer Status Report.

does it count as a page if you are printing off some from HP since you don't have that information available on the site?

Hi Sandy

I think that will only give me a total, correct? I won't be able to tell how many I printed within a certain time period?

Yes, this will not show printer page count in a certain time period.
