[SLUG] CUPS and escputil

[Nick Croft <nicko@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Evening.

I've got the new Epson Color Stylus C83 printing OK with CUPS via the 
router.

Everything available with CUPS admininstration seems to be working fine.
However, I want to check the ink level, and for this I need to use a command
line tool, escputil.

The output for 

$ escuptil -i -r /dev/lp0  is
'Cannot parse output from printer'.

I've got the two-way option assigned in the kernel. Also quite liberal
permissions for access in the /etc/cups/cups.conf.

Ideas? Experience?
