The printer MIB is your friend. Most modern LaserJet's seem to support
this. Sample very small selection of snippets below.

The relevant RFC is RFC1759 - but that's not the MIB itself in ASN.1 format
sadly.
I took several hours finding a copy in ASN.1 format which hadn't been
pre-HTML'ed
by someone.

The RFC and the MIB are huge. There is lots and lots of stuff to read, but I
suppose
the number of sheets of paper in each tray is useful. Have fun and watch the
relevant
MIB variable count down as you print out the RFC itself!

As an example, this MIB entry below shows the text strings displayed on the
double row LCD panel on our 5Si:

printmib.prtConsoleDisplayBuffer.prtConsoleDisplayBufferTable.
     prtConsoleDisplayBufferEntry.prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.1 = "READY"
printmib.prtConsoleDisplayBuffer.prtConsoleDisplayBufferTable.
     prtConsoleDisplayBufferEntry.prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.2 = ""
