how to find ink levels on hp deskjet 6980 printer

Fast Normal is a better mode to use but colours will be less vivid. Print quality can be a bit variable insofar as Fast Draft is perfectly ok for print-outs from the web and just about passable for letters but for anything else it's probably a bit to rough around the edges for serious presentation. The printer is fast and quiet but if noise levels are still a concern then there's a quiet mode button which means the printer will print slightly more slowly with little more noise than the sound of the paper passing through it. I use it wirelessly which is pretty much flawless every time. I can say, though, this is actually a very good printer. There are quite a lot of reviews going round, about this printer - some of them positive and a lot of negative ones too. So 5 stars for the features, but only 3 stars overall due to the reliability problem. I've googled around for this problem 'hp 6980 recognize black cartridge' and found a number of other people have had the same problem with this printer. I'm now looking at trying to get this repaired under warranty. This is very frustrating, since I'm often unable to print a document when I need it. This is the original cartridge that came with the printer and it's still half full. Everything will be OK for a week and then it will happen again in the middle of printing. I remove the catridge, clean the contacts, reinsert it and after numerous repeats of this procedure (sometimes I have to leave it overnight) it will suddenly recognize the cartridge and start printing again. However (and here is the reason it doesn't get 5 stars), over the last 2 months, it's developed a problem where it suddenly thinks there is no black ink cartridge in the printer.

Automatic double sided printing is also a very useful feature if you're not in a hurry - it saves paper consumption, but does take quite a long time to print, since it pauses to allow the ink to dry on the 1st side, before printing the 2nd. I mainly use it just for document printing, but have printed a few photos on the sample paper supplied with the printer and they are excellent.

The wireless capability works well - it was quite simple to install and never fails to work. I bought this printer 6 months ago and I've been largely impressed with it so far.
