Patent number: 11954379Abstract: The location of a printing device is determined. Environmental conditions in which the printing device operated when printing a print job are determined based on the determined location. An environmental adjustment factor for the printing device is determined based on the determined environmental conditions. A predicted print material usage of the printing device in printing the print job is adjusted based on the determined environmental adjustment factor.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jeffrey H. Luke, Gabriel S. McDaniel, Scott K. Hymas

Patent number: 11927905Abstract: In response to detecting that a remaining supply of print material of a first cartridge has reached a first threshold, a printing device transmits a request. In response to detecting that a second cartridge has replaced the first cartridge, the printing device determines whether the remaining supply had reached a second threshold and whether a token permitting usage of the second cartridge was received responsive to the request. In response to determining that the remaining supply had reached the second threshold and that the token was received, the printing device prints with print material from the second cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jeffrey H. Luke, Gabriel S. McDaniel, Scott K Hymas

Publication number: 20240070421Abstract: The number of days until a consumable item of a printing device reaches end of life is predicted based on a usage scenario of the printing device. An expected fulfillment time period is subtracted from the predicted number of days to determine a number of days until a fulfillment event occurs. A threshold remaining life of the consumable item is correlated with the number of days until the fulfillment event occurs. That the remaining life of the consumable item has reached the threshold remaining life is detected, and fulfillment of a replacement consumable item to replace the consumable item is responsively initiated.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2021Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Scott K. Hymas, Jeffrey H. Luke, Gabriel S. McDaniel

Publication number: 20230305525Abstract: A machine learning model provides a correction factor to predicted print material usage on a per-print job basis. The machine learning model is trained based on print job information of print jobs printed by printing devices using print material from cartridges received on a per-print job basis, and based on predicted print material usage by the printing devices in printing the print jobs received on a per-print job basis. The machine learning model is further trained based on measured actual remaining print material within the cartridges after the cartridges have been replaced within the printing devices by new cartridges.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2020Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Jeffrey H Luke, Gabriel S McDaniel, Scott K Hymas

Publication number: 20230305772Abstract: Upon fulfillment of a replacement cartridge of print material, whether projected usage of a printing device will likely deplete a current cartridge of print material prior to anticipated arrival of the replacement cartridge is determined. Responsive to determination that the projected usage will likely deplete the current cartridge prior to the anticipated arrival of the replacement cartridge, the printing device is to enter a reduced print material usage mode during subsequent actual usage of the printing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2020Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Gabriel Scott McDaniel, Scott K. Hymas, Jeffrey H. Luke
