6 Using the Toolbox

The Toolbox provides status and maintenance information about your printer. It also gives you step-by-step guidance for basic printing tasks and provides help solving printer problems.

After installing your printer, you can open the Toolbox by clicking the Toolbox icon on your desktop.

Printer Status tab

The Printer Status tab displays the printhead and ink cartridge status. Your computer must establish bi-directional communication in order to display the status. The drop-down list displays the currently selected printer. The status window displays the printer status.

The Ink Level Information window displays part number and status information about the installed cartridges, including the amount of ink available in the cartridges.

To select the Toolbox messages that appear and to enable or disable bi-directional communication, click Preferences from the Printer Status tab.

Information tab

The Information tab lets you register the printer, check for a new printer driver, display printer hardware and printhead health information, and create your own printer usage information Web page. It also gives you access to help information about using the printer, troubleshooting, and contacting HP.

Printer Information is only available for network printers.
