Amazing what can be achieved with a little bit of insanity ;-)


Seriously though, did you end up getting any kind of ink monitoring working? I have a Photo R210 and would be interested to know.
Cheers,

Yes I used the CLI escputil and get this.

          Ink colour    Percent remaining
               Black     42
                Cyan     97
             Magenta     97
              Yellow     98

It didn't work until after I uninstalled mtink though. Also I changed the command from what I was originally told because my printer is parallel port not usb. Original suggestion said to use '/dev/usb/lp0'

Not sure if this is for all printers or just epson - just epson I think.

Maybe it will work for you too?

Rosemary

Will give it a shot as soon as I get home tonight, thanks. Aidan.
