Hi, you don't have to replace the maintenance kit when the message comes up on the screen -- that's just a recommended guideline by HP to keep the printer running at its optimum levels. The maintenance kit parts will fail at different times on different printers, so the maintenance interval is a best guess by HP as to the best time to replace the parts before they begin to fail and cause problems.
