On another distro I can run a command to get my ink levels like this
Code: Select all
escputil --ink-level --raw-device /dev/usb/lp0
---nor could I find mtink but mtink has less model support for ink levels. I have the 07-printing and gutenprint XZM active
2) Back on Porteus I try with root powers
Code: Select all
ls /dev | grep usb (no hits)
lsmod | grep usb (no hits)
modprobe usblp
(result) modprobe: FATAL: Module usblp not found
still no change to modprobe or /dev/usb issue
thanks for reading

trivia below
I can get my Epson TX110 to print using just the 07-printing XZM so all is not lost
but I prefer to get ink levels.
When I rebooted into my other distro, because I had not used the printer for a long time, my ink was drier than my mouth
so replaced all cartridges and got my ink levels then rebooted to test on Porteus.
