Epson head cleaner and other printer tools?
You'll need either "escputil" or "mtink", both are in Synaptic.
The mtink utility doesn't work with our 825, it could be usable by normal people if it supports your printer, although you have to be a geek to run it from the command line as no menu entries are setup by synaptic.
Epson check ink levels:
escputil -r /dev/usblp0 -s
Epson print nozzle check:
escputil -r /dev/usblp0 -n
Epson clean:
escputil -r /dev/usblp0 -c
Of course the -r parameter will depend on how your printer is connected
How non-geeks are supposed to make any use of this I'll never fathom.
There needs to be buttons in the printer properties box to launch these commands and display the output so normal people can use Epson printers effectively.
