The toner out message can be over-ridden in the printer menu allowing you to print until all the toner has been used.

They regularly spit out ink into a wastebin, to keep from drying out. So while you are spending your fortune filling your printer with ink, you would be even more surprised to know that your ink is being wasted, before you ever print your first page. Also leaving your printer on, will cause it to clean itself as well, so if you are not using your printer, save your ink and turn the printer off!

Bravo! For the record, black electrical tape ranks right up there with duct tape IMHO. I love how you turned this episode into a lesson about early retirement. Bravo!

I learned that with my toner as well. I also learned (the hard way) about my '04 Corolla. The check engine light came on. I was preplexed as it wasn't overheating, the oil level was fine and the engine wasn't making any funny sounds. After $69.99 (plus tax) at Toyota to have the diagnostic computer hooked up, it was the gas cap not sealing correctly. What a load of crock!

I've found the factory default to be as high as 10%. If you have a toner rated for 5000 pages, that's an amazing amount of printing left. Check your manuals, or online knowledge bases for your printer to see if you can change these settings for yourself.

I have a perfectly good Canon inkjet printer that will refuse to print anything (including B&W docs) because I'm out of YELLOW INK! The black ink cartirdge was only a month old at that time, but my printer doesn't care. There is software to reset the ink counters, but of course it doesn't work for my particular model.
