@RayNet, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Unfortunately, there is no option to check the ink levels without the software.

 

You may print a self-test page on the printer to check the ink levels

  1. Press and hold the Cancel () button and then press the Start Copy Color () button.

  2. Release both buttons. The self-test page prints.

 

When the ink cartridges are low/empty or in an error state, the 'Check Cartridge light ' will start blinking.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Thanks a lot. BUT I just found a solution without printing a page.

This solution is tu run: HP Print and Scan Doctor when there is an option to ask the printer the ink levels.
