When I get the "replace cartridge" message on the printer, I can't determine WHICH cartridge it wants me to replace.  So I replace both of them.  Which is a waste.  Why doesn't it say WHICH cartridge to replace????!!!!  Thanks.

Hi BatCityJoe,

Understand that you got triggered for depleted ink and need to replace cartridge. You can know your ink level and which cartridge is out of ink by clicking on the "ink icon" on the display.

 

Below HP support document will guide you how to locate the ink icon and giving your some example for your to gauge the ink level.

Hope this help. Thanks.
