#SIMILAR TO INKLEVEL APP FULL#
This application also has a graphical interface and is specially designed for HP printers, provides full functionality for printing on most HP SFP ink printers. Where in the first start it will ask us to choose the port where the printer is connected and then it will show us the ink levels. To run the application, it is done as follows: sudo mtink It is another tool with a graphical interface with which we can know the ink levels of our printerWith it, we can also show the amount of remaining ink, check the cartridge heads as well as clean them.įor its installation we only have to execute: sudo apt-get install mtink It is essential that our user is part of the lp group, if not, just add it with the following commands: adduser TU_USUARIO lp To install, just type on the terminal: sudo apt install inkblot InkBlot will show us the ink levels globally (Black and Color) and also separately displays the levels of these.

This another tool that also works on the terminal, so it does not have a graphical interface, it is intended to work for Epson printers.
