Ttink
Ttink is a terminal based status monitor for EPSON inkjet printers.
Syntax
ttink options
Arguments for ttink
Mandatory:
-d device_file --device device_file
Optional:
-m name --model name or numero
without this the printer will be autodetected
Order (only one order may be given):
-r --reset reset the printer, will not work in the same
maner for all printers.
-c --clean clean nozzle
-n --nozzle-check print a nozzle pattern.
-s --status (default)
-a --align-head head alignment
-e --exchange-ink (not all printers) exchange the cartridge
-i --identity print printer identity
The -model option is needed for devices which don't reply
her identity. In this case you can enter the name or numero of your printer
as printed out by ttink -l. Device which require this option are
the Stylus Scan 2000 and Stylus Scan 2500.
Ttink and mtinkd
If you use mtinkd, the little server which
allow to query the printer while a print job is active, you have not to enter
the -model <printer name> option for ttink, you
have to start the mtinkd daemon with the
corresponding option.
The device file name is not for example /dev/lp0 or /dev/usb/lp0 but /var/lib/mtink/lp0
e.g. var/mtink/usb_lp0.
Bugs
Probably a lot.
