PJL versus SNMP Toner Levels

I have added a:

*cupsFilter:    "application/vnd.cups-command 100 command2foo2lava-pjl"

to the PPD file, thanks to Reinhold Kainhofer.  BUT, the PJL marker levels (which is correct) is replaced by SNMP marker levels (which is wrong) after about 5 seconds or so.  SNMP:

Printer-MIB::prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity.1.1 = INTEGER: -2
Printer-MIB::prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity.1.2 = INTEGER: -2
Printer-MIB::prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity.1.3 = INTEGER: -2
Printer-MIB::prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity.1.4 = INTEGER: -2
Printer-MIB::prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity.1.5 = INTEGER: -2
Printer-MIB::prtMarkerSuppliesLevel.1.1 = INTEGER: -3
Printer-MIB::prtMarkerSuppliesLevel.1.2 = INTEGER: -3
Printer-MIB::prtMarkerSuppliesLevel.1.3 = INTEGER: -3
Printer-MIB::prtMarkerSuppliesLevel.1.4 = INTEGER: -3
Printer-MIB::prtMarkerSuppliesLevel.1.5 = INTEGER: -3

Yeah, NO way!!!

Screencast is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc06kryZ8q4

I could not set the printer to not do SNMP requests using its web server.

What to do???
