Is there a utility to check ink levels on HP Deskjet series printers? I looked through the djtools manpage, and, while there is some interesting stuff there, I do not see this. It seems that djtools is good for setting parameters for the printer, but not for getting information back. Since it is best not to actually let an ink cartridge get completely empty before refilling it, being able to check the ink level would be a really handy thing.
