How you check how much ink or toner is left in your printer depends on
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
the model and manufacturer of your printer, and the drivers and applications
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
installed on your computer.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|

Some printers have a built-in screen to display ink levels and
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
other information.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
Some printers report toner or ink levels to the computer, which can be
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
found in the <gui>Printers</gui> panel in <app>Settings</app>
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
The drivers and status tools for most HP printers are provided by
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
the HP Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP) project. Other
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
manufacturers might supply proprietary drivers with similar features.
|
|

6d2957 |
|
|

Alternatively, you can install an application to check or monitor
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
ink levels. <app>Inkblot</app> shows ink status for many HP, Epson
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
and Canon printers. See if your printer is on the <link href="http://libinklevel.sourceforge.net/#supported">list of
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
supported models</link>. Another ink levels application for Epson and
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
some other printers is <app>mtink</app>.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
Some printers are not yet well supported on Linux, and others are
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
not designed to report their ink levels.
