Abstract
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.
