I think the software is missing for your HP J4550. You have to install this software to be able to check the ink level, align, clean the cartridge and more. You can download the available software for your printer here:
https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/hp-officejet-j4000-all-in-one-printer-series/model/3645096
Please read the manual for the proper setup of your device.
