These work as estimates of the ink levels if the software
and drivers you have installed support it and the ink
cartridge has the chip installed, after market and refilled
cartridge may not work.
I have an HP 3820 with this feature, but our older HP882c
does not support ink level reports.

The reports are not very accurate, often my 3820 will start
telling me that my ink is low and I can print a hundred more
pages.

Just a general suggestion, set your default printer to use
draft or fast mode, this saves your money and ink and the
output still looks very good. If you need to print a high
quality document, it is easy to open the properties on the
pint dialogue and set that document to normal or best.
