Engaged Sweeper
When looking at a printer, the toner level in Lansweeper shows 0%, even though the printer reports a different value.

for example, on an HP LaserJet P2055dn, Lansweeper is reporting the toner as being 0%, while the printer shows 59%.

when i look at what is returned via SNMP, i see the following:

Toners:
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.2.1.1: 1
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.3.1.1: 0
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.4.1.1: 3
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.5.1.1: 3
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.6.1.1: Black Cartridge HP CE505X
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.7.1.1: 13
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.8.1.1: 2650
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9.1.1: 1563

looking at the printer-mib, i see:

 prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.8
 prtMarkerSuppliesLevel .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9

so, 1563/2650 = 59%, which is what the printer reports. Lansweeper reports 0%.

i have another identical printer, with the same toner cartidge, and SNMP returns the following:

Toners:
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.2.1.1: 1
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.3.1.1: 0
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.4.1.1: 3
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.5.1.1: 3
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.6.1.1: Black Cartridge HP CE505X
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.7.1.1: 13
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.8.1.1: 2650
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9.1.1: 2173

for this device, Lansweeper reports 98% toner remaining, and the printer reports 82%.

how does Lansweeper determine the toner remaining?
