Based on the support website of HP, you can see the how much ink is left on your cartridge by following these steps:

1. Open the software of HP. If you do not have any, you can visit this link on how you can download the HP software.

2. Click Start

3. Click All Programs

4. Click the folder of your HP product

5. Click the HP icon

6. Double click the Estimated Ink Levels

You will then see the ink level of your printer cartridge. Remember that this is an estimation only. If you think your ink level is already low, make a replacement as soon as possible. You can read the full instructions here:
