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
When I did set it up with SuSE (I still don't have my SuSE tin up and running at the moment) I just used the set up native to SuSE and CUPS. It all worked perfectly so I didn't need to go to download any third party stuff. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.
