Dialogue with a printer

My printer: I’m out of magenta ink.

Me: How about the other inks?

Printer: I’m out of magenta ink.

Me: I know, but just show the status of the other inks like you did when they were all full.

Printer: I’m out of magenta ink.

Me: sigh

Me: Scan this.

Printer: I’m out of magenta ink.

Me: sigh

After buying replacements for all six ink cartridges and replacing magenta...

Me: Print this.

Time passes.

Printer: You know what? The gray is empty.

Replace gray cartridge. Time passes.

Printer: Hey, look! The black and yellow are empty too.

Replace black and yellow cartridges. Time passes.

Printer: OK! What did you want me to print?

Me: sigh

Sounds familiar. I remember using to think Black was the one I would run out of first..
