You would need to get something from HP for that, if they offer it for their Linux drivers. Ink levels are not a standard interface and only Drivers from HP would be able to use it.
I believe that the standard printer interface would alert you when you are out of ink but would not return the level of ink.

You can find a HP monitor tool here: in the main menu under "System" >> "Monitor" >>> "HP-toolbox"

Sorry for the late reply! Thanks for the reply! Yes thats the tool (HP Device Manager)but it was buggy for my printer...i don`t now way...it didn`t recognize well (the version was 2.7.7 which opensuse install automatically when you go to printers in yast). So i installed the latest version manually 2.8.4 and it works great! It shows me everything i want! Thanks again! (sorry for my english!)
Cheers!
