At what point do I replace the toner? For my old 8600 I got a warning message when the toner was low (buy now), and then a message saying to replace before I can print. For my new Laserjet printer I got the "low" message, but no further messages so far. It says "very low" for all cartridge levels when I check. Do I replace them or wait for poor print quality? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to HP Support Community


I would like to help

 

Basically ig any cartridges are low on ink you will start facing Print Quality Issues and the problem might start at any given time.

 

To avoid Quality Issues, I would request you replace the ink. But if you are still able to print fine even though the ink is low it's advisable to keep replacement cartridges handy

 

Thank you
