I finally retired my old epson 660 for a not as old HP deskjet 832 (printing is not a high priority around here :-) At least with the epson I found a utility to monitor ink levels (escputil.) can't seem to find a tool for the hp.

 

anybody know of one?

HP has linux software that will show you the ink level of your cartridges. It also has configuration and maintenance options, and other functions depending on your device. I think it is in the hplip package that is available for Mandriva. A shortcut to "HP Device Manager" will be installed underTools/System Tools. Its a pretty useful piece of software.
