Building on Theo's suggestion, if the idea is just for the operator to
know how close the counter is to 50k:

1) steady green = 0 to 25k labels printed
2) blinking green = 25k to 40k
3) steady orange = 40k to 45k
4) blinking orange = 45k to 49k
5) blinking red = 49k to 50k
6) steady red = 50k, printer cannot operate

Use the receipt printer or a phone app to get the exact number out if
desired.  The printer can print human readable numbers and/or a QR code
that a phone app can scan, allowing easy tracking of the activity of the
different printers.
