The easiest way is to use the Epson Printer Utility which should be in
your Applications folder.
Make sure the printer is on. If it is off, turn it on and let it cycle
through its start-up noises. Start up the Epson Printer Utility. A
small window will appear with your C40 listed. Double click the listing
and an new window will open with quite a few options. Choose the first
option, Epson Status Monitor. It will tell you how much ink is left in
each of the cartridges.
