Hello,

I have just released a new test version of libinklevel. Due to the
great variety of printers available I need your help testing it.
Libinklevel is a library for retrieving the ink level of a printer
connected to a linux computer via parallel port or USB. HP, Epson and
Canon printers are supported.

What has changed?
The Epson code has been rewritten to support more recent printers and
to get rid of a bug which caused blocking of libinklevel when one ink
cartridge was completely empty. Support for the Canon MP360 has been
added. An alternate USB printer device file location has been added.

The new release can be found here:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/libinklevel/libinklevel-0.6.6rc4.tar.gz?download

For testing it you need the ink command line utility. It can be found
here:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ink/ink-0.3.2rc2.tar.gz?download

It will work only with this version of "ink". Please send me the
complete debugging output from the "ink" program.
