I'd like to know if there's any way to have this printer print out the
ink remaining in its two cartridges by using its front panel buttons
instead of having to install its software and get this information from
the attached computer. And, of course, what's the button sequence to get
the result.

Thanks.

Thanks, Andrew. I believe that this did the trick, and it's nice to have
the codes.
