Here is a GUI to check the ink level of your printer. By default it looks for a printer plugged into the usb port, but this can be easily changed (see below) This is based on two programs (included): Ink - http://ink.sourceforge.net/ Libinklevel - http://libinklevel.sourceforge.net/ (supported/unsupported printers listed here) To have the script look at the parallel port open /usr/bin/inkgui in a text editor and change "usb" to "parport"
More options can be found by running the command "ink" from the command line. There is a menu entry under "System" called "InkGUI" JB P.S. There are probably better ways to do this so input is welcome.

Lovely! Works fine on 2.17.1 with HP AllInOne. Should be included in Puppy distro. |

I have updated InkGUI to the most recent (2010) version. Look for its menu entry under System Status and Config. It will now check for multiple USB printers and parallel printers. In my tests, it works well with HP, Canon and older Epson printers. New Epson printers report ink levels of 105%. It doesn't work with Brother printers. For another Epson maintenance tool, read here.
