HP TonerGauge (HP Color LaserJet 8550)
Note The HP TonerGauge feature is not enabled on HP Color LaserJet 8550
MFP printers.
The HP TonerGauge feature allows the user to estimate how much
toner is left in the cartridges. The HP TonerGauge indicator appears
on the configuration page, on the status tab of the driver, and in
HP Web JetAdmin (for the network administrator). The toner level
indicated by the gauge may be used to estimate whether enough
toner remains in the cartridges to complete a print job.
