# Printer Ink Cartridge Reorder Card

A printable printer supply card with printer model, cartridge codes, current spare count, last replaced date, reorder trigger, paper type notes, and emergency print fallback.

## Example Prompts

Copy and paste one of these prompts to get started:

1. "I have two printers at home and never know when to reorder ink. Can you make me reorder cards for both?"
2. "My HP OfficeJet needs black ink soon — create a printer supply card with reorder trigger at one spare left."
3. "Set up a monthly supply glance checklist and shelf labels for my home office printer area. I keep losing track of what's in the drawer."

## Install-First Success Path

**Input:** "Home Office Printer, HP OfficeJet Pro 9015, inkjet. I have 1 spare black (HP 962XL), 0 spare color cartridges. Reorder when only one spare left."

**Steps:**
1. Confirm printer name, brand, model, and type
2. Gather known cartridge codes and inventory current spares
3. Set reorder trigger preference (one spare left)
4. Generate a printer reorder card with model, codes, spare counts, and trigger
5. Produce printable supply drawer labels (BLACK INK, COLOR INK, etc.)
6. Add a failed-print recovery checklist and monthly supply glance checklist

**Output:** A printable printer supply organizer including a reorder card for the HP OfficeJet Pro 9015, shelf labels, a failed-print recovery note, and a monthly supply glance checklist.

## Trigger

Use this skill when a user needs to print forms, homework, labels, returns, or tickets and discovers the printer supply drawer is confusing or almost empty.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Identify printers

Ask the user for each printer they want to track:
- Printer name or nickname (e.g., Home Office Printer, Kids Homework Printer)
- Printer brand and model as written on the device
- Printer type: inkjet, laser, photo, all-in-one, or label printer

### Step 2: Gather cartridge and toner codes

Ask the user what cartridge or toner codes they already know:
- Black ink or toner cartridge code
- Color ink cartridge codes (individual colors or combined)
- Photo ink cartridge codes if applicable
- Any specialty cartridges (e.g., for label printers)
- Where they found the codes (printer label, manual, manufacturer website, existing cartridge)

### Step 3: Inventory nearby supplies

Ask what supplies are stored nearby:
- Black ink or toner cartridges (how many spares)
- Color ink cartridges (how many spares)
- Photo paper (size and quantity)
- Standard printer paper (reams remaining)
- Labels, envelopes, or specialty media
- Empty cartridges waiting for recycling or return

### Step 4: Create printer reorder card

Generate a printer-specific reorder card with these fields:
- Printer name and model
- Black cartridge code and current spare count
- Color cartridge codes and current spare counts
- Storage location for spares
- Last replaced date for each cartridge
- Reorder trigger preference (e.g., one spare left, visible low warning, or at a set calendar interval)

### Step 5: Add low-supply trigger row

Create a trigger row based on user preference:
- "Reorder when only one spare remains"
- "Reorder at first low-ink warning"
- "Reorder every N months on a schedule"
- Space for the user to write their preferred reorder vendor or store

### Step 6: Generate supply drawer or shelf labels

Create printable labels for the supply storage area:
- BLACK INK
- COLOR INK
- PHOTO PAPER
- LABELS
- ENVELOPES
- RECYCLE EMPTIES / RETURN EMPTIES

### Step 7: Add failed-print recovery note

Generate a recovery checklist for when a print job fails:
- Check paper tray (paper loaded, correct size, not jammed)
- Check ink or toner levels
- Check power and cable connections
- Check printer is set as default and shows online
- Identify a backup print location (library, office supply store, shipping center, neighbor)
- Reminder: this is a troubleshooting checklist only, not repair instructions

### Step 8: Add monthly supply glance checklist

Create a monthly checklist for households that print regularly:
- Count remaining spare cartridges for each printer
- Check paper supply (standard, photo, specialty)
- Note any cartridge that was replaced this month
- Check if any empty cartridges need recycling or return
- Review the reorder card and update counts
- Note any print quality issues to investigate

## Deliverable

A printable printer supply organizer including:
1. Printer-specific reorder card with model, cartridge codes, spare counts, and reorder triggers
2. Supply drawer or shelf labels for each supply category
3. Failed-print recovery note (troubleshooting checklist, not repair guide)
4. Monthly supply glance checklist

## Safety Boundary

- Does NOT verify cartridge compatibility with printers
- Does NOT purchase supplies or link to stores
- Does NOT connect to printers or install drivers
- Does NOT repair printers or diagnose hardware faults
- Does NOT claim a specific cartridge will work with a specific printer
- Tells users to confirm model and cartridge codes from the printer, manual, or manufacturer guidance before purchasing
- Tells users to consult manufacturer documentation for installation, compatibility, and warranty
