Hi,

This is extracted from paye #29 of its manual (j610, not 3610):

To check the ink levels from the Printer Software
1. Click the HP All-in-One desktop icon to open the Printer Software.
NOTE: You can also access the Printer Software by clicking Start > Programs > HP > HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series > HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series
2. In the Printer Software, click Estimated Ink Levels.

Hope this helps.

There is no where to click "estimate ink levels". It doesn't show this!

Hi,

Could be missing something. Please go to the following link to download Full Feature Software and Drivers for your computer and install on your machine:

You may also need the utility too.

Hope this helps.

BH: I doownloaded and installed a driver update yesterday. Several months ago My printer stopped letting me check my ink levels. When I updated the drivers HP had two drivers to choose, FULL and BASUC. I chose the FULL, but the Basic installed, and still no way to check the levels. I don't even have access to a TOOLBOX! I did last year when I first installed my DJ 3050. I am on OS 7 64bit, and hooked through a USB. Any other ways to get back ink level checks? Thanks!
