[Gimp-print-devel] Print Utility available actions

[Aaron C. <aa...@me...>]

Hello,

Thank you! 
If it were not for Gutenprint my perfectly fine Epson R2400 would be sitting collecting dust now that I have a new 2019 iMac. Much to my dissapointment the Mojave MacOS that came with it does not have print drivers like the older OS I was using, which means the Epson Print Utility 4 that I had been relying on was not to be found. I had been using Gutenprint on some of my printing before, but now it’s the only player to get prints made. I have paired it up with Affinity Photo, with great success so far.

The Epson Print Utility allowed me to do nozzle checks, clean the print heads, and monitor ink levels, so not having it was a problem. I recently discovered the Gutenprint Utility for EPSON Inkjet Printers command sitting in the gimp-print folder that Gutenprint came in, tested it out, and I’m all set except for one thing: how do I check the ink levels? I only see these actions when I run the command in terminal:

   (n) ozzle check
   (c) lean print heads
   (a) lign print heads
   (l) icense -- display license
   (q) uit

Not having the ability to check ink levels is not a problem, as I can just wait for the printer to start giving me flashing lights. It would be nice to have it in the command menu though.

Either way, thank you again for the work you have done on Gutenprint.

Best,
Aaron Cormier
