Hi mate, Under windows 98, yuk !!, the pucker epson driver gets the info on ink levels etc AOK, so I guess the cable is AOKAre you actually logged in as root when you did the "debian:/home/test#
The computer is 3 yr old, ie obsolete !!, the printer 1 year old.
ls -al /dev/lp0 gives
debian:/home/test# ls -al /dev/lp0
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 Mar 14 2002 /dev/lp0
debian:/home/test#
So read/write access is OK for root, even though the reported error is cannot read from /dev/lp0
My pet theory is the epson, being a new design, uses different from what escputil is looking for

ls -al /dev/lp0" command or into your "user" account. You might want to
check it out when logged in as root. It might just be a permissions
problem. From the above, I would say adding your "user" account to the
group "lp" would also let you run this program from there.
I am not familiar with this program & I am just guessing here. The fact
that you can clean the heads but not get the ink-levels would indicate
your "pet theory" is probably correct... Just thought I would bring up
the permission thing just in case...
Good Luck!
