How can I check printer ink levels in Windows 10?

[dodopc]

I’m staggered I have to ask this, but such is the absolutely useless design of Windows 10 that I can’t find any possible way to simply check ink levels. I’m using an Epson. Youtube videos suggest check 'maintenance > nozzle check" but this doesn’t work, it just prints a page.

the epson software only gives me the option to scan documents

I’ve never needed to. And even if I did have an answer to this, whats relevance does this have. Is this a help forum or a ‘new user incoming lets just pick holes at his question’ forum?

Make and model of printer?

I guess the point I was making is, it’s not a Windows 10 issue.
I was wondering if whatever OS you had beforehand was capable of doing it and it has therefore become an issue particular to Win10.

no malice was intended by my comment. you have obviously come from other forums where you have had a bad experience. I can assure you, this forum is not like that.

as to your issue, does the printer have a LCD screen that shows ink levels?
I ask because no Windows OS I have used could ever tell the ink level of any of the printers I’ve had.
It’s always been the printer manufacture’s software that could do that.
