You need to use the HP JETADMIN software to configure the alerts when a HP printer is out of toner ( This software have many others alerts usefull)

You can locate this software in HP web site.

Have not used web jetadmin, only the version that this has replaced....but here is a link to the extra components:

You should give WJA a try. Many things are now built-in that used to be seperate components, such as Download Manager. I didnt like earlier versions of WJA, but recent versions have really surprised me.
