Re the new HP printers in the student center.
They seem to stop printing if low on toner, which is good I guess.
But they do not tell the user that their job is not going to print.
A zephyr pop, like there is for mail would be helpful.
When you lpq a printer that is run out of toner, it says
printer is ready and printing,
which of course it isn't. Misleading message.
