Epson status monitor

[Guest]

Hi
How do you check the ink levels if the status monitor does not work in vista?

You hope that eventually Epson will get around to writing a new one which
will work in Vista. Or do what Epson hopes you will do and get a newer
model.

Have you tried checking to see if Epson have provided an updated driver on
their website?
There is a list of printers for which drivers are provided either Inbox or
via downloads on their US website at:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supAdvice.jsp?
type=highlights&noteoid=86150

This list doesn't seem to be complete (our printer isn't on the list) but
it should be a useful starting point. If it is an Inbox driver then you may
find that there is no longer a status monitor - in which case you need an
XP box to check the ink levels...

The page with the Vista-supported Epson printers (or soon-to-be-supported
Epson printers) is probably pretty complete from Epson's POV. They plainly
state that if YOUR printer is NOT on the list, there will be NO SUPPORT for
Vista. PERIOD.

i have two printers an epson photo and a hp text printer...i have found the
same problem with vista...on both ink levels don't show...on the epson you
will get a flashing red light when you are low and if you hold the button
down for 3 or so seconds it will show you which cartridge is low
