What printer problem???

[codswallop]

Just recently my printer wouldn't print on command,until I realised,after a while, that one ink cartridge had run out.As I don't have the need to replace one frequently I can see in the future that I will again forget why my printer won't work(old age!!!).Is there a way of getting a signal when one runs out?????Thanks!!!

Doesn't the fact that it won't print act as a reminder?

Install the software that came with the printer. That should warn you when the ink is low.

Hi 123 that sounds logical BUT if I didn't suss it out straight away this time why would I remember in the future when I'm even further in gagaland???
Wildwood my printer software was only XP friendly in some respects and I now have Vista!!! Thanks to you both.

stick a post it note on it saying
"if not printing, check ink"
Not all will tell you when ink is low or run out

[codswallop]

That sounds reasonable redcrs,if there is no way electronically.See what I mean.........I'm going gaga, Thanks!

There is probably an updated vista version.
Have a google for '*printer make and model* vista'.
