Did you see my previous reply about using system-config-printer over
ssh? It handles all the printer management including ink/toner levels.
Thank you for your response.
I did try your earlier suggestion.
It did not work at the time,
with the warning
(system-config-printer.py:6506):
WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus:
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-FUcik03nBj: Connection refused
However, it worked (with some graphical distortion, eg missing letters)
after I re-installed system-config-printer on the CentOS-7.2 box.
Unfortunately, the reading it gives is completely inaccurate,
as it says the black toner is full, whereas in fact it is completely empty.
It gives a correct reading of the colour toners.
