I no longer have this printer, so I will be unable to test to see if the bug has been fixed with this printer.
I currently have an HP 6700. Checking the ink levels for the printer properties returns, "Marker levels are not reported for this printer." I don't know if this is a CUPS problem or is just simply not a supported feature for this printer. If ink levels are supposed to be available for this and similar HP printers through the desktop printer properties, then a communication error still exists. Otherwise, ink levels are reported directly through the printer's screen interface. This was, of course, not a previously available feature for the prior printer. As the information is available through other means, it is not critical it be available through the printer properties. It would be nice if it could be available though and could signify incomplete communication between the printer and CUPS. I don't have enough information to know if this is an ongoing bug or not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519971 Title: HP 5610 Checking ink levels fails Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: cups system-config-printer 1.1.12 HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala I knew my ink levels were low, but not certain. I launched the printer properties box, navigated to the ink/toner levels window. The window reports that marker levels are not reported for this printer and no status messages. Hitting the refresh button returns a CUPS error message, "CUPS server error: There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'." I would have expected the ink levels to be reported when hitting the refresh button. But before that, I would have expected the ink levels to already be reported when opening the configuration property window.
