I have an Epson C70 plus printer and when we moved lost/mislaid the installation disc. Now we have a new computer I and want to be able to know what the levels are in each colour cartridge. I understand you need the disc to install this option. Have looked on the epson site and they refer you to disc as well. Any help or suggestions please.

    Here's the Epson C70+ Support page. Scroll down until you see Status Monitor 3.0 on the page - click to download and install.

    Thanks I did that and got this message after installation - C\windows\system32\autoexecNT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and microsoft windows applications.

    Can anyone help please

    Sorry,no I am not ignoring your post at all. I have done the download unfortunately one of the cartridges has now run out and when I click on 'printer report' or 'head ink shots' and Refresh nothing happens. I am back to square 1 again, a cartridge has run out, don't know which one, have to replace them all at once.


    Edit - Poppycat everything now showing ok, it must have been user error. thanks for your help
    regards
