With an Epson you should be able to also use the escputil package to do ink level checks, nozzle checks, head cleaning etc. My personal experience of Canon printers would suggest that the best thing to do with one is to place it between the surfaces of a hydraulic press and push the red button (demonstrated at the end of Terminator) so that it occupies less space in the landfill.

Have you heard of this offering, my problem is that there is no mention of my Kubuntu in BrightQ below so !! Any comments that hold out any hope appreciated.
