Can't seem to work out how I can see how much ink I have left in my printer. I've been through the printer settings but when I go to 'supply levels' it won't display anything.
Any ideas what I should do?
Any ideas what I should do?
When you installed the Epson software off the disk that came with the printer, it probably installed a copy of something named something like "Epson Printer Utillty" (at least that is what the utility from the RX680 is called) in your Applications folder. Just double click that to run the Epson utilities which include ink level checks, print head cleaning routines and such.
Also, at the same place you saw "Supply Levels" you should see right to the left of it another choice called "Utility" if the Epson software installed correctly. Clicking on that will fire up the Epson Printer Utility too- it is just quicker to find it in the Applications folder.
Hope that helps- but if neither of those things is there you will probably want to check the Epson website to see if you are running the latest version of the driver software which should install them.
Ok, so officially there are no drivers for this model on the Mac.
I got this email reply from my query...
Thank you for contacting EPSON e-mail support.
In reply to your email, the DX3800/DX3850 are not supported with Apple Mac
operating systems. For this reason there are no drivers available. You may want
to view the specifications for the DX4800/DX4850, which is compatible with Apple
Mac operating systems:

Please be advised that the driver for the printer will need to be downloaded
from the link below:
