it off and do so. It just means I have now way of knowing until the paper comes out blank that I have run out of ink. I can live with it
:-) I use cloned ink cartridges by the way and am more than happy
with them.

Cheslyn Hay Staffordshire WS6 7HR Kevan are you using the drivers downloaded from EPKowa (Epson). If so check and see if it installed a service called ekpd. My Epson CX6600 does and it has a command line command (ekpstm) that has a GUI that shows ink levels.
Not sure if its available on your printer. I also understand Gutenprint has a utility for determing Epson ink levels. I'm still trying to get it to install on my system (SUSE 10.0). It has a driver for my CX6600 that may solve my PS problems. Check the following website: http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/index.html Hope this helps. -- Russ
