this package sounds like it might do the job.
Package: mtink
Thanks Craig, unfortunately mtink doesn't seem to support my printer; it reports communication problems.
maye this one will work: escputil - maintenance utility for Epson Stylus printers Package: escputil Source: gutenprint Version: 5.2.9-1 Description-en: maintenance utility for Epson Stylus printers escputil is a utility to clean and align the heads of Epson Stylus printers. It can also check the current ink levels in the printer. . Gutenprint is the print facility for the GIMP, and in addition a suite of drivers that may be used with common UNIX spooling systems using GhostScript or CUPS. These drivers provide printing quality for UNIX/Linux on a par with proprietary vendor-supplied drivers in many cases, and can be used for many of the most demanding printing tasks. Gutenprint was formerly known as Gimp-Print. Given that the description mentions Gutenprint, I'd guess that it probably requires you to be using the printer-driver-gutenprint driver (as mentioned in my last post). if you're not already using it, you'd have to install it to get this to work. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au> BOFH excuse #335: the AA battery in the wallclock sends magnetic interference
