Epson printer utilities

[Neil Winchurst]

I use kubuntu Edgy.

I have an Epson inkjet printer. It works fine. When I go to use the
printer utilities via System Settings > Printers > Admin Mode >
Printer > Printer tools it finds my EPSON Inkjet. So I click on that and
see a set of utilities.

When I try to use one of the utilities, eg Ink Level, I get the error
message

Unsupported connection type: epson

This has left me baffled. Can anyone tell me what is wrong please?
