Re: [opensuse] Displaying ink levels on a printer

* Adam Jimerson <vendion@xxxxxxxxxxx> [07-30-07 18:23]:
Is there a way to get ether cups or the YaST printer module to display the ink
levels on printers? I have a Lexmark x1240, using the Lexmark z600 printer
driver installed on my 10.2 box, but it doesn't tell me about the ink levels
and its pretty annoying to have to wait until the print quality starts to
suck before I know that I need to go out and buy more ink.

kink is available from packman

gutenprint 5.0.1 has escputil
software.opensuse.org/download/Printing/<distro>
