Comment (by a):

 Turns out the CP1525nw is a bit... 'limited' in terms of its settings. (In
 fact, I couldn't even access all the settings although I /ought/ to be
 able to access them, which is a bit strange...)

 I changed the print stop setting from 7/6/6/6% material remaining to to 1%
 material remaining for all, that should keep it printing for a while,
 although HP doesn't like you doing this because it can (and does!) cause
 clogging. (Which then means you have to waste even more toner on cleansing
 runs...) From what I can tell, /all/ the toner cartridges are pretty damn
 low, the black toner is slightly less low but still needs replacing soon.
 We should restock all of them and wait for them to run out - preferably
 swap them when the low toner warning shows up (it's currently not at low
 toner but at "low toner soon"), and not when we run out of toner
 completely.

 Also, I noticed there's a firmware update available:

 I didn't install it since the changelog doesn't look that interesting and
 I didn't want to risk a config reset - but maybe it would fix the issue of
 inaccessible settings.
