Printer Status Reporting

[Clive Walker]

I'm using XP Home Edition with a USB attached Epson
colour printer. In the printer status window there is an
Ink Status graphic showing the amount of ink remaining.
Since I have upgraded to XP Home this has been greyed
out. I have verified that I am on the correct printer
drivers and all seems ok. I do quite a lot of photo and
image printing and am having to change ink cartidges more
often than I feel I need too (like every week) as I don't
know which colour is out.
Is there anything I can do to bring back the ink status
graphic.
Thanks

Go to the Epson website and download and install the Status Monitor package
for your particular model of Epson printer.
