To print the supplies status page from a LaserJet 4000, 4050, or 4100 printer:
- On the printer's operation panel, press down on the right side of the curved Menu button. "INFORMATION MENU" will appear on the screen.
- Scroll through the menu choices by pressing down on the right side of the Item button until "PRINT SUPPLIES STATUS" is displayed on the screen.
- Press the Select button.

On the 4050 I'm at, there is no Print Supplies Status; you can see the gauge from the Configuration Page. I tried various ways to get to it, even the web access, but getting to that page isn't supported from a Mac, and on a PC it connects to the printer, but all you see is the HP logo and a white block where the data should be. Tried updating Java, but that didn't help, either. Didn't matter what browser I was in.
ReplyDeleteWeird. Do you know if the firmware is up to date? It's possible older firmware didn't support a supplies status page, and it was only added in later.
