toner slut/snart slut
Explanation:
It's kind of hard without further context. I'm not sure if you should read this as the "the toner will soon be depleted, you may want to consider buying a new cartridge" or the "the toner is completely out, definitely no more printing".

If this is related to printers at all?

In that case, it would be "toner slut", or as Nils suggests, "tonern är slut".
