I think I have narrowed down why my printer is not reporting ink levels. The twist is that it works on my laptop. Either it is the version of Windows 2K I used to install it I have a couple different CDs for windows 2K, or it only works when installed on Windows 2K with SP2. My laptop is only at SP2.
I am trying installing SP3 over the top to see what happens. So far I have tried Windows 2k (don’t now which cd I installed from with SP3), Windows 2K CD1 with out any service packs, Windows 2K CD1 with SP3 and all security patches.
Then Windows 2K CD2 and SP2 which works.

update
Ok I did CD2 and SP3 then installed the driver and it worked?
So it is either CD1 or the install routine must very picky about when I plug in the printer
