Bug Description

Binary package hint: inkblot

system : Ubuntu 8.04

inkblot --version : GNOME inkblot 0.99.9

Expected behaviour : display the ink level of my printer

Observed behaviour :

Inkblot display the grey icon with the white on red cross, showing the message : "Error: problem with printer".
When I right click on the icon, to rescan the printer device, it displays the status :

'''
Printer Detection Complete
Found Epson Stylus Photo R1800 USB printer on lp0
Inkblot will report the ink level on this device
'''

It is then not a problem of permission on the '/dev/usb/lp0' (I've made a "sudo adduser <username> lp" before)

The ink level is well reported with mtink.
