Hi,
I tried with many problem to make work mtink and mtinkd RPM, in order to manage my Epson Style 480 on FC3. I was using mtink-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm on FC2 with no problem.
I tried this one, and mtink-1.0.7.1 and mtink-1.0.8 and still cannot communicate with the printer.
My question is : do I have another choice to manage my Epson printer than using mtink. I would like to change the cartridge.
If anybody got some ideas, or is using (managing) successpully his Epson ink-jet printer on FC3, please help ;-)
Moreover, I have an inkjet HP printer, but never tried to install it on Fedora. Is this more simple to access a panel control for HP than Epson ?
Thanks,
Philippe
My Epson printer died on the weekend and I couldn't get any support from Epson, even to the location of a service center without giving a credit card. It was trashed.
I purchased an HP last night and it took less than 20 minutes to follow the HP instructions to install it. Now I have a full printer control panel that allows me to check ink levels, printer settings etc. I purchased a HP1200D that came with duplex.

HP = :) :) :) Epson = :( :( :(
I was going to rant about this but now I don't have to.
My experience was similar to this. http://news.com.com/Why+does+PC+support+stink+Ask+Symantec/2010-7350_3-5593437.html
