I have brought a color laser 150nw and it states the cartridges should last approx 700 pages. I have printed approx 100 pages and the yellow has run out and all the other colours are running low
Please can you advise in this as I feel its false advertising

Hi @Sylvia41,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be happy to help you!
Are you using HP genuine cartridges?
Check ink or toner levels from the printer control panel
Many HP printers display ink and toner levels on the control panel.
Look for an Ink drop icon ( or
), a Cartridge icon
, an Ink Levels menu, or a Toner Level indicator.
Check ink or toner levels with the HP Smart app
Use the HP Smart app to check the ink or toner levels for your printer.
Open the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device.
View the Estimated supply levels next to the printer image. It might take a few minutes for the ink or toner levels to display.

Hi, yes they are genuine and the ones that came with the printer that said on the box they would do 700 pages. They have done 200 and all the colours are at zero percent and it has now stopped printing. I know how to check the ink levels as that is what I have been keeping an eye on. Its not even close to 700 so I feel it has been misadvertised and I would not have purchased it if I had known they would only last for 200 pages
