Hello Neil,

Meanwhile it is working. I must check out how to see how much ink I
have left without using Hplip. There must be a way,

On my HP, it can be done either from the control panel of the printer,
or it's built in web site.  This is another reason I find it handy to
allocate the printer a static IP - you don't have to go hunting for it
in the router every time you need to know the printer's address.

It's also possible to get notifications via an app on a phone.  If
you're so inclined.


Meanwhile, something has changed. It used to show me the actual model (6032) when I started up the printer. Now it just shows generic 6000 series. It prints, but it does not seem right.

Perhaps I should remove that printer and install all over again. That could be dangerous.

When I try to add a printer it does not find anything new. Oh well, I expect it was something I did,

Neil
