A while back (under 13.04) I was working with an Epson Stylus C120 and
got it installed for printing purposes after getting past
http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/1133794.
I used CUPS and a Gutenprint driver.
But unlike most Windows inkjet printer installations, I found no
provision for reporting ink levels. I found Mtink, but it did not work.
In the meantime I stumbled onto the http://libinklevel.sourceforge.net
project, which is a library for reporting ink levels. And at
http://libinklevel.sourceforge.net/#installation there is reference to
packages that use this library.
But on the library's home page there is no news since 2009, and the
mailing list archives seem to no longer exist.
Epson offers this link:
http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX. But I don't
find anything there for Debian or Ubuntu.
Perhaps another manufacturer has their own package that includes
provision for this function.
Is anyone successfully reporting ink levels (one way or another) for any
major brand of printer?
