Is there a utility to check ink levels on HP Deskjet series printers? I
looked through the djtools manpage, and, while there is some interesting
stuff there, I do not see this. It seems that djtools is good for
setting parameters for the printer, but not for getting information
back. Since it is best not to actually let an ink cartridge get
completely empty before refilling it, being able to check the ink level
would be a really handy thing.

No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.
What?! Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here.
Boom. Sooner or later ... boom!
