It appears that the printer utilities for the Epson Stylus Photo 890 and presumably other printers do not work through the Apple Airport/Express wireless connection — as Apple warns in their documentation. The printer prints reliably, but with both the Epson and CUPS driver the Utilities option is greyed out in the Print Center. When the Epson Printer Utility is started directly, it does not find the printer.

Is there a workaround (directly connecting the printer to one of the computers here via USB is not an option), or failing that, is there a technique to check which ink cartridge is low either with buttons on the printer or perhaps by visuall inspection? The cartridges are sufficiently expensive that I would rather not replace both if only one is low on ink.

Thanks,
