Does anyone know if there's an openSUSE 10.3 version of mtink, or
anything else to monitor Epson printer status - or at least the ink
levels? Pipslite-cups had something like that for openSUSE 10.2, but in
10.3 Gutenprint works like a charm, so I DON'T want pipslite.

Thanks for your help. My printer wan't listed, and I was about to reply
with the bad news, but now it works! I had selected "other printer" from
the list. It apparently takes a while to figure out what printer is
connected. Thanks again!

P.S. None of the buttons work, and "Align Head", "Change Cartridge" are
greyed-out.... but it shows ink levels. That's all I really wanted
anyway, so that's fine. In Yast, the description said it was for the 2.2
kernel, I have a newer kernel, maybe that's why? No biggie, though. Thanks!
