Printer Setup

[LeoNigro]

Note: This should be resolved automatically in Commodore OS Update 1.

From the command line enter the following command.

Code: Select all

system-config-printer

To see printer ink levels, please copy/paste the following command into a command prompt.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -y install ink libinklevel5 mtink

The program called mtink handles Epson printers but it seems certain HP and Canon models are also supported but I can't find a list.
on installation it inserts two icons in Accessories for some reason.
or you can type 'mtink' from the CLI.

If mtink isn't helpful you can type the following from the command prompt to get a text listing of the Printer Ink levels.

Code: Select all

ink -p usb

BTW the "Control Centre" in the screenshot above is accessed via the top menu "System".

I don't currently have a printer connected, but I think connecting a printer via wifi on Linux, whilst doable, is rather complicated.
