This is not an HP issue. The low ink warning does comes from the HP printer. I've seen several threads about this with no solution concerning several printers (mostly HP). The problem is how Ubuntu interprets the low ink warning. Apparently what is happening is that when a multiple page document or multiple documents are in the que, Ubuntu sees the low ink warning and assumes there is not enough ink to finish the job. One or two pages will print and then everything locks up. The printer says printing but it is not. The printer finally goes in standby, usually with a partially printed page in progress. Ubuntu is still showing everything in the print que. When unsing Windows OS this problem never occurs. In windows you get low ink warning on Printer and from hp software but printing is not interfered with. You can print until print quality degrades. Help please, this is my most serious issue. HP cartridge are know to give low ink warning well before quality degrades. HP says it because the want to insure print quality. Methinks HP wants to sell more ink cartridges
