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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519971 Title: HP 5610 Checking ink levels fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/519971/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
