I have a rather ancient printer (parallel) and normally use

Is there a better program to use for this please anyone?

Thanks

Did you "upgrade" it ??
I have checked and I appear to have the latest version which is 5.2.6-0ubuntu8. I am running Mint 10 KDE based on Maverick.

When I run it to check levels there is always a pause before the results appear. Then the results *sometimes* arrive. It is difficult to know in this situation whether it is just taking its time or if it has indeed stalled. I do wait for a while but eventually I give up if the results don't arrive after quite some time.

Thanks
