According to Epson, the Status Monitor for this printer is incorporated
into the driver files, available here: http://tinyurl.com/3snj9.

Did you install the printer and driver correctly? Try this: uninstall
the printer and driver, disconnect the printer, install the software,
reboot and then connect the printer.

It is indeed the only way to check ink levels; there are no other
software alternatives.
