Color LaserJet
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Got a MFP M283 when a school closed, along with a bunch of toner cartridges.

Now screen is showing "very low toner" on all 3 colors, with new, genuine HP cartridges. Black (also OEM) appears to be showing correct levels

Printer is still printing, although color print quality is poor/very poor. Black quality is sharp and opaque.

When I got it, printer was set to "accept Firmware Updates", so no way of telling if that was the cause.

Any Ideas ?
