I am plagued with the cryptic message:
Printer "Brother-HL-5140": ";marker-supply-low".
This seems to have begun recently, perhaps with the installation of
F-14, I'm not certain? If I knew what it means I might be able to
fix something, alternatively how to eliminate it if I can't satisfy
whatever it's objecting to.
System-config-printers > Properties tells me "Marker levels
[whatever they are] are not reported for this printer" but the
notice keeps coming up anyway.
I print two copies each of five crossword puzzles every morning and
this notice keeps popping up and blocking part of my screen, an
annoyance and one more thing to keep clicking on!
Bob,
Sounds like it's time to replace your ink cartridge. Printing a
crossword puzzle probably places a heavy flow demand on an inkjet
printer. If you Google 'marker-supply-low', the first hit shows a 2007
code fragment showing this error text. The term "marker" in this context
appears to be akin to "magic marker".
Hope this helps.
