Well if you had a Mac you could do a screen capture and I could tell
you how its done,...don't know that on a PC.

could not be done - "geesh", some people ;-)

Did you actually read that he can't display it on the screen? Just
what is he going to capture?

I know, Ed. One of my many failings.

Sad to say, I missed the Historics entirely. We had an illness in the
family and I couldn't get away. It's just a dog, but you know how they
are. He'd never forgive me if I wasn't there when he woke up after the
procedure.

I hope you enjoyed the event. I've seen a few pictures of the fun. And
I hear Phil Hill is really having trouble keeping up. One of my heros,
and an example of a disappearing breed: literate, articulate
professional racing drivers.

I'm not aware of any capability like that in Epson printers. On
Windows and Linux, you can query ink levels, clean the heads, and
print a test pattern from software, but I've seen no way to tell
the printer to print an ink level page. Does your printer documentation
claim that the capability you want exists?

The concept that people posting insults and smart arse remarks here
actually have the ability to read is one thing but to expect them to
comprehend what the OP said is another thing altogether, Ed.
