Epson Status Monitor for Vista?

Has anyone managed to get ink monitoring working on their Epson inkjet in Vista yet? My low ink warning light i flashing but I have no way of telling which needs changing until one of the colours starts banding.

Mine's a C64 and I can't find status monitor for it. There seems to be a different version for almost every model of printer.

I have an Epson Stylus D68. The first time I connected it up to my system after I had installed Vista, it recognised it and installed drivers/status monitor. It all works fine without even having to install any Epson stuff, I just right click on the print icon thing when I'm printing and I can get the ink levels up.

Looks like I'll either have to get another or just wait for a cartidge to obviously fail.

Hi all. Just in case anyone else is having this problem, Epson replied with a very helpful email and a successful method to enable ink monitoring in Vista, with no separate program required. You simply need to update the driver to the Epson C64 and delete the one installed by default with the installation.
