I discovered that the HP Business Inkjet I'm using supports RFC1759, which
is the Printer MIB. There's all kinds of good stuff in here, but the most
interesting are:
prtMarkerLifeCount.1.[1-4]
--------------------------
Number of pages printed by each "prtMarker",
in the case of this printer, number of pages printed with each ink
color. They're always equal.
prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity.1.[1-4]
------------------------------------
Number of tenths of mL each ink cartridge holds. (The units, 0.1 mL in
this case, are stored in "prtMarkerSuppliesSupplyUnit")
prtMarkerSuppliesLevel.1.[1-4]
------------------------------
This is the actual ink level, again in tenths of mL.
Now I just need to get MRTG set up to plot all these...
Why? Because it can! ;-)
