printer ink levels

Asked by john

Ubuntu 8.0.4 on Dell Inspiron 6400 with hplip 2.8.9. Since upgrading the printer icon has an orange triangle which, when clicked informs me that the tri-colour cartidge is low. It says this even though the cartridge is new. Is there a way to rectify this?

The software is accurately reflecting what the printer is reporting as far
as I can tell.
