Bug Description
I have an HP printer, and it reports low ink when the cartridge still has a month or two of ink left in it. (By 'reports low ink', I mean it turns on a warning light for the cartridge, and the built-in diagnostic test page and hpilp report a ink level of zero). The printer has 4 cartridges, and I don't replace them all at once, so they have varying levels of ink (the current reported ink levels are "0%", 50%, 75% and 99%).
Anyway, I can't remember the last time all of the low ink warnings were off. Interestingly, the printer disables itself when it actually runs out of ink. It'd be nice if that error condition were reported by gnome (in fact it might be...)
I know there's nothing ubuntu can do to fix the ridiculously early low-ink warnings, but I wish I could make it stop reporting low ink *every time* I print a document. Ideally the setting could be made via a gui on the ubuntu machine with the printer plugged into it. I appreciate the other printer warning messages gnome reports, but the low ink one is really driving me nuts.
(I'm using ubuntu intrepid. I see the low ink warning on the print server, and two laptops...)
