Introduction.
There are some utils that  available for inkjet printers from WinXX driver.
Why do I have no them under OS/2 ? (Well, one said that there is that kind 
of utils for Lexmarks under OS/2. Maybe).
I grab that codes. Then find the same codes from Linux opensoureces. Epson
keeps silence and I think do not plan to help anybody. That is the reason
that only Epsons are supported now. HP is in plans.

Using.
Start program. It is vio but has nice color palette :)
Follow instructions. Some restrictions are exist now:
1. Printer must be on LPT1.
2. Program was tested only with usual print01.sys driver. Maybe it will work
with bidi (par1284.sys) driver but it looks so that there could be some 
problems with it. At least with detection of device status. Be care with that.
3. I use control codes from my printer. I am not sure it work with yours.
Enjoy!


Todo.
1. Finish calibration part of utils. Need testers.
2. Setting of LPT port number. Does anyone need that ?
3. Adding and testing more and more printers. Why not HP ?
4. Getting inks status using par1284.sys bidi driver.
5. PM interface.
