How can I check my printer's ink/toner levels?
Il modo in cui si controlla quanto inchiostro o toner è rimasto nella stampante dipende dal modello e dal produttore e dai driver e le applicazioni installate sul computer.
Some printers have a built-in screen to display ink levels and other information.
The drivers and status tools for most HP printers are provided by the HP Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP) project. Other manufacturers might supply proprietary drivers with similar features.
Alternatively, you can install an application to check or monitor ink levels. Inkblot shows ink status for many HP, Epson and Canon printers. See if your printer is on the list of supported models. Another ink levels application for Epson and some other printers is mktink.
Some printers are not yet well supported on Linux, and others are not designed to report their ink levels.
