Hello, NetBSD users.

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

I have searched netbsd mailing lists archives and I found there were a few
postings about usb printers. In those ones poster had experienced the same
problmes which I have now. I wonder escutil is broken?

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.
