Epson Status Monitor - Can't Check Ink Levels
I'm running Windows 7 RC x 64. Everything about the Epson Photo R1800 seems perfect, except it doesn't show the remaining ink levels when printing or when checking via Status Monitor. (Rather, on the latter, it just sits there saying "searching....") All the other, somewhat complex, features of the R1800 work fine, including selecting paper profiles, etc.
I'm pretty certain that everyting worked with 7 (7000) x64. I've reinstalled the Epson drivers, running it in Vista compatability mode, to no avail.
Since the printer has 8 separate ink cartridges, waiting for the "low ink" light on the printer (which won't tell me which cartridge) isn't a very appealing alternative. Any ideas?
