<h2>Ttink</h2>
<b>Ttink </b>is a terminal based status monitor for EPSON inkjet printers.<br>
<h4>Syntax</h4>
<b>ttink</b> <i><b>options</b></i><br>
<br>
Arguments for ttink<br>
<pre><b>Mandatory:</b><br><br> -d device_file --device device_file<br><br><b>Optional:</b><br><br> -m name --model name or numero<br> without this the printer will be autodetected<br><br><b>Order</b> (only one order may be given):<br><br> -r --reset reset the printer, will not work in the same<br> maner for all printers.<br> -c --clean clean nozzle<br> -n --nozzle-check print a nozzle pattern.<br> -s --status (default)<br> -a --align-head head alignment<br> -e --exchange-ink (not all printers) exchange the cartridge<br> -i --identity print printer identity<br><br></pre>
The <b><i>-model</i></b> option is needed for devices which don't reply
her identity. In this case you can enter the name or numero of your printer
as printed out by <b>ttink -l</b>. Device which require this option are
the Stylus Scan 2000 and Stylus Scan 2500.<br>
<br>
<h4>Ttink and mtinkd<br>
</h4>
If you use <a href="mtinkd.html"><b>mtinkd</b></a>, the little server which
allow to query the printer while a print job is active, you have not to enter
the <i><b>-model <printer name></b></i> option for <b>ttink</b>, you
have to start the <a href="mtinkd.html"><b>mtinkd</b></a> daemon with the
corresponding option.<br>
<br>
The device file name is not for example /dev/lp0 or /dev/usb/lp0 but /var/lib/mtink/lp0
e.g. var/mtink/usb_lp0.<br>
<br>
<h4>Bugs</h4>
Probably a lot.<br>
