Hello Sluggers,
The other day I installed an Epson printer utility on my SuSE 10.0 called
escputil. (check ink level, clean heads etc.) When I run it in a terminal I
get the following response.
bob@EasyStreet:~> escputil -i
Escputil version 4.2.7, Copyright (C) 2000-2001 Robert Krawitz
Escputil comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'escputil -l'
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type 'escputil -l' for details.
Obtaining ink levels requires using a raw device.
bob@EasyStreet:~>
??? Do I need to install a raw device? How do I do that? I thought all
printer applications created their own raw device. Guess I don't know very
much or understand this. Did a lot of googling on raw devices but everything
was about databases.
Can somebody here straighten me out please?
Bob S.
