| 1330766 | 2013-03-01 10:54:00 | Here a another example - Dell Printer - read it, and you'll see it advises the Printer Software, NOT the actual OS as it mentions XP, Vista and W7 ( number 5) - ( W8 will be the same) www.ehow.com | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1330767 | 2013-03-01 23:08:00 | The printer monitoring software that comes with the driver is turned off. I know it when I see it. I have been dealing with this product for many years. This is a Win 8 generated message. Even the persons, whose pc this is happening on, IT person reckons it is Win 8 generated. But he does not how to turn it off. Like most us he has not seen a lot of Win 8 PCs. So the question I originally posed on how do I turn off the "Low Toner" message in Win 8 is correct. If none of you know how do to this, don't bother answering the question. The only other answer I can see as helpful would be telling me of 3rd party software that does this on Win 8, so that it can be removed. I should point out I have been connecting printers/copiers, etc to Networks, PCs and Macs for well over 15 years.I know the difference between what is generated by the printer software and by the operating system. Going by some IT professionals I have met. I know more about Printers on networks etc, than they do. So you can see why I have found your answers unhelpful. I asked a specific question about about a message that Win 8 produces. All I want to know if I can turn this message off. |

| 1330768 | 2013-03-01 23:14:00 | Well if you dont like the replies we've given, dont ask. Go to the manufacturer's site and ask them. Or ring / ask MS | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1330769 | 2013-03-02 00:17:00 | To specifically answer your question, exactly as asked " turn off the "Low Toner" warning that Win 8 brings up everytime you print, when your printer is running low" You should: A) Replace the Toner B) Replace the Toner C) Throw the printer from a strategic high window - not the 8 type - the glass type. To prevent damage to windows you should open it up, rather than shut it down ;) I take no responsibility from any other errors related to "booting your printer through windows" Serious part though - The printer detects low toner, the printer reports a low toner level. The host driver interprets the information. The host then, will take on board the information and carries out appropriate action as specified by the driver. It may well be that windows 8 now has a low toner warning as part of the native stack, and therefore it would cause an previously unseen error. I recommend looking for a driver update that is Win8 compatible, which might reduce the frequency of the warning. Please contact the printer manufacturer for help (or M$) or at leasr tell us the printer model so we can actually help. You're not helping yourself you know! |

| 1330770 | 2013-03-02 01:10:00 | I give up. I am not going to bother putting anymore queries on this forum. It is a waste of time. I have better things to do than try and educate you lot. I asked a specific question. I would have accepted "I don't know". There use to be a time when you got sensible answers, but that does not seem to be the case anymore. Going elsewhere to get the answer. :mad: |

| 1330771 | 2013-03-02 01:51:00 | Looks like you are the one to be educated! | bk T (215) | ||
| 1330772 | 2013-03-02 02:02:00 | Link us up if you find a better solution :) I'd genuinely like to see the "answer" | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1330773 | 2013-03-02 02:10:00 | Well with that attitude, Ill be surprised if anyone will bother answering your question! | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1330774 | 2013-03-02 02:28:00 | Half the fun in seeing an answer to the question on another forum will be seeing how much of our advice he listened to or ignored :D it will either go exactly like this, nearly word for word or He'll included some helpful details as recommended and get a vaguely helpful answer. |

Going by some IT professionals I have met. I know more about Printers on networks etc, than they do. Well if that's the case then you obviously don't know much either. Heres a hint - Windows 8 and windows 7 are almost identical relating to printers so if youi know so much then you figure it out. "if" there is such a setting its well and truly hidden. SO where then is the setting in Windows XP , Vista And Windows 7 ? Old story Prove it. |
