Customizing check_hpjd functionality

check_hpjd is a nice and easy tool to monitor HP printers. I’m finding that it is giving me a little more information than I want. I’d like to be able to limit it to telling me when the toner is out or maybe if there is a paper jam. Things like paper out can be handled by the end user. Is there a way to limit the alerts? Or is the source available to customize it?

I found the source, but I can’t seem to compile the individual plugin after changing it (or even if I don’t change it). Is there a document that shows how to recompile it?

I run:

gcc check_hpjd.c -o check_hpjd

I get this as output:
