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>

I tried ink, didn't see kink, but the ink program didn't work for my printer
I'm giving gutenprint a try.
