How to properly detect my printer's toner?

Help
1

Hello,

I have a Brother laserjet all in one MFC-L2740DW. LNMS reports the toner as 50% full. It is however a brand new toner which is 100% full, which is what the printer also says on the LCD display, as well as on the printer’s web server GUI.

So LNMS has it wrong. How can I get it to display the right information?

Thank you for your help,

Bye,

Can you paste the output of the following command

snmpwalk -v2c -c COMMUNITY IP-OF-FQDN .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.10.2.1.5.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c COMMUNITY IP-OF-FQDN .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.10.2.1.4.1.1

The second may not be needed if the first one gives enough output

Additionally, the following should give you a better idea of the SNMP MIB…

It may be that the printer is incorrectly giving the level via SNMP, or that it isn’t supported by the printer (it isn’t always). The brother MIB shows that there isn’t a level, but a low warning…
