SUMMARY
When a job is sent to printer, KDE indicates that there's an error with the
waste toner box (for printers that support it).
Quoting from the referenced bug report below:
> Note that there are 2 types of consumables and IPP supports this fact:
>
> - Those which come full and need to get replaced when empty, like ink or toner
> - Those which come empty and need to get replaced when full, like a waste
> toner box
In the latter case KDE shows an error message; but instead it should display a
notification when that waste toner box gets full.
This error message, paired with the fact that printing doesn't work in some
cases, can mislead users.
For more details, please see the following bug report:
