Typically there's a software application, like a control panel, specific to your printer that you have to open. In one of the options you "inform" the printer that you've installed new toner cartridges. There's no actual sensor that's being read, by the way, the "Low Toner" warning is generated by how many pages have been printed; regardless of how much printing was ON those pages.

Printer manufacturers don't make money on printers, they make money selling you toner.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am...

If it's not broken, you haven't tweaked it enough.

Yes, you open up the printer and if it is a white translucent ink container you "look" at it ;)

honestly though witblits- I haven't had much luck with Linux drivers for printers. They never have all the options that the Windows counter-part does. If someone else has found a good program or set of utilities for printers a link would be greatly appriciated :!:
