How to check ink level on hp officejet 6210 all-in-one printer

Hi Jim,

When you install a new cartridge, be sure not to touch the contacts, and make sure the contacts on the cartridge align with the contacts on the printer, and all packing tape has been removed. If the contacts on the printter are coated with dry ink, you should clean them with a cotton swab and distilled water. Dampen the swab and wipe off the dry ink on the contacts and let it dryt. Also, run the cartridge alignment on the new cartridge.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.

What OS do you have on your computer?

Do you have the full software installed, if available for your OS? See http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=421991& , select your OS and then click Next. The Ink Level indicator is part of the HP Toolbox or HP Solution Center (depending on the printer). So without the full-software, the service tab (and ink level information) sn't available.

For the OfficeJet 6210, the driver for the all-in-one is part of the Windows OS for Windows 7. So the ink level information isn't available at the computer.

The other way to get the ink level is to have the printer do a print quality self-test. Put plain white letter, A4 or legal sized paper in the paper tray. Then press Setup (on the printer). Press 2 and 5 (selecting Print Report and Self-Test Report). The ink level may not be given exactly. (Use the quality of the ink blocks to determine if the ink needs to be replaced.)

I hope this helps.

1st check the ink spare is for your printer, then take the protective cover out (ink cartridge), check for any stucked/broken plastics. if all is ok, send printer to repair to check.

This quite often happens with CLONE cartridges and happens very infrequent with original cartridges.

The cause is the ink level chip used in clones is quite often a very cheap chinese copy and very prone to failure or misalignment

Either way take them back and get them changed is my advice

i've fixed a simular issue recently, it could be your print head has developed a issue\blockage for the nossles for the black ink tank, it could be mixing colours from word but a black white copy will just use the black ink, try removing the head and using isopropol on a qtip to clean the head for the black only.......

change the ink and settings .
