+cups-bjnp
+=========
+This version of cups-bjnp adds experimental support for ink-level reporting and improved
+out-of-paper reporting. 
+
+Ink-level reporting requires translation of the mnemonic reported by the printer to the 
+human readable color and to the RGB values to show the cartridge in the user interfaces.
+It is quite well possible that some cartridge types are not yet recognised.
+
+The ink-level status is updated regularly during printing of a document.
+I am now looking for success and failure reports for this cups-bjnp version.
+
+What to test
+============
+1) check in your favorite printer configuration tool (control-panel->printers, 
+system-config-printer, or the KDE printer configuration tool) that all cartridges
+are correctly shown (if a certain cartridge is not recognized it is shown as 
+"unknown" and the color is set to white (#FFFFFF). If this occurs, please report this
+with the details requested below
+
+2)Check that when cartridges are getting empty, they are reported (see system-config-printer->
+ink/toner-levels/status messages) with bjnp.xxx-ink-low / bjnp-xxx-ink-emty messages.
+Gnome 3 uses the genric ink level low messages to show a pop-up.
+
+3) verify that cups-bjnp correctly reports paper-empty events. When the printer detects an
+out of paper situation, Gnome 3 will show a popup. Other environments may do something
+similar.
+
+Reporting of issues (and success)
+=================================
+In order to get the required information, please change the printer URI from:
+bjnp://xxxx
+bjnp://xxx/?debuglevel=DEBUG
+
+and send me the resulting bjnp logfile /var/log/cups/bjnp_log when cups logs to
+/var/log/cups with te details of the issues found. Please mention the printer type
+to help me find out details
