Guest dturley Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 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?

bd2cool Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hi, I found a utility for the hp - http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/cooker/contri...-1mdk.i586.html Works great for the hp 3650 printer. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfoss Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 That's great, I've been looking for something like this for a while! I'll try it on my DJ990Cse and let everyone know if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfoss Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 I've installed INK and it seems to work. However, it tells me that my black is at 0% and colour 77%. I know I'm not out of black and since there is no MAN entry or real help in the app, I have no idea if there can be a "reset" of the values. The Ink website shows that the 990C is supported, but...

apbsa Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
