| As I wanted to check how much inks remains in my printers, I typed

| % sudo escputil -i -r /dev/lpt0
| 
| on console. However the following message responded. (What a Bummer!)
| 
| Cannot read from /dev/ulpt0: Operation not supported by device

| 
| Does anyone have gotten it to work nicely?

| BTW, my printer's model is Epson PM-700C which is called Stylus Photo 700
| in The States and that is attached via parallel.
