TEST2a.EXE - Wow! I fixed very crude error. Now printer do not prints 
something incredible. It only responces required info.
Ink measuring utility are included for Epson printers. Well, sometimes it works.
I cannot add more. It is not even hack. It's some kind of strange fight with
IBM Toolkit, some Linuz sources... My wife is very tolerant... I know that now.
Well... Try it. Hmm, also, I am not sure in digits it returns. Mail me - does 
it look like truth or not. It's interesting for me...
Well, it's not really utlity it's demo of the possibility.


Introduction.
There are some utils that  available for inkjet printers from WinXX driver.
Why do I have no them under OS/2 ? (Well, one said that there is kind of
that utils for Lexmarks under OS/2. Maybe).
I grab that codes. Then find the same codes from Linux opensoureces. Epson
keeps silence and I think do not plan to help anybody. 
Well, HP driver is more strict. But I could get some codes from that.
It was taken from HP695C. The claibration is not complete. Occasionoly, it is
of another structure then EPSON.
 Well, you may get them for your printer also - no problem with this.
How? - mail me - I'll explain :) Why? I want to see the really interest for
this kind of utils.

Using.
Unpack zipped pzckage with pathes. Read this (see second line of this file).
Start program. It is vio but has nice color palette :)
Follow instructions. 
1. Printer must be on LPT1 - LPT3. You may changes port number using "1", "2",
 "3" keys according to port number.
2. Choose printer type with [PAGE UP], [PAGE DOWN] keys. Do not think of "USER"
printer type - it is for advanced future.
Program was tested only with usual print01.sys driver. Maybe it will work
with bidi (par1284.sys) driver but it looks so that there could be some 
problems with it. I was informed that it also works with printer on USB.
Surprise!

I use control codes from my printer and HP695c.
I am not sure it will work with yours. Try it. Mail me.
Enjoy!

strange devices more...
