Bug#598913: escputil: different ink levels are reported by -e and -i with Epson Stylus SX110

[Márton Németh <nm127@freemail.hu>]

Package: escputil
Version: 5.2.6-1
Severity: normal


I just installed the new catridges to an Epson Stylus SX110 printer. The real ink levels are 100%, this is reported with -i (ink level) and -s (status). However, with -e (extended-ink-info) the remaining percent is reported 17% and 35% which I think conflicts with the numbers reported by -i and -s.
