Thanks for responding; it's not clear the printer drivers are doing
anything wrong, so this might belong with hplip. The bug report
probably belongs to whatever package owns the gnome notification bubble;
I think everything underneath the hood is working properly.

Unless there is a way to tweak the factory settings for the ink-level
detector, hplip is doing the best possible thing. The printer's
hardware levels are poorly calibrated, and hplip agrees with the
printer's diagnostic page (there's a led on the printer and a button
that prints out current status, etc...)

I checked the hp faq; my printer's not on the list. Unlike bug 255103,
it never prevents me from printing, and it is reproducible.

Thanks again! Honestly, this is a minor annoyance, but I'd love to turn
that message off...
