You have an older 840 C, I'm still happy with my old 882C.


But these old printers are not good enough for photos.

If you buy the newer HP 45 black cartridges there is a window on the cartridge itself that is like a gas gage and can give you an approximate amount left.


The color cartridges give you no clue until one color starts to run out.
