printing/SimpleText problems
(My apologies if this has been recently covered; I subscribe but rarely read.) I have an Epson Stylus Photo 780 printer which is 2-3 years old. I seldom print stuff, so whenever I do I usually have to clean the print heads. It seems the only way to do so is via software, and the only software that seems to do it is in OS9. I can't find anything in 10.4 to do this; when I try to query the ink levels via the printer utility, it says information not available. I have 10.4 and 9.2.2 on separate volumes. I would launch SimpleText either from Classic or by booting in 9, and use the printer tools button on the Print dialog box. Since installing 10.4, that button is gone, even when I boot 9 from its own disc! It's disturbing to me that 10.4 would make changes to my 9 system. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: printing/SimpleText problems
In the printer setup box is your printer under Epson USB not USB? Next navigate to: Library/Printers/Epson/Utilities to find the Epson Printer Utility for accessing printer cleaning, ink levels, etc. I made an alias of this and keep it in my Utilities folder hth John On Jul 3, 2005, at 10:38 PM, John Roberts wrote: (My apologies if this has been recently covered; I subscribe but rarely read.)

Isn't there an ink maintenence button on the printer itself? It has an icon like a droplet near it if i remember correctly from my old Epson. If you press the button for 2 or 3 seconds it does the head cleaning thing. Don't know how to get it to show ink levels in OS X. My HP doesn't show levels either.
