The chip reseter for the epson's are very handy, since the estimate of
how much ink it has and has used is terribly inaccurate.  Easily pays
for itself after 2 or 3 cartridges have been reset.  My dad has been
very happy with his (he seems to print enough to go through 20 or 30 ink
cartridges in a year (seperate per color of course so like 6 or 7 sets
colour and a bunch of black) and about one printer per year since the
heads just don't seem to stay lasting forever).

As for drivers, gimpprint driver is supperb for the epson inkjets.

The ink level guages certainly are useless.

On the other hand a solid ink printer (The real phaser printers, not the
phaser laser printers) have a great way to check how much ink is left.
Just look down the ink hole and see if there is room for another brick
yet.
