+\fBescputil\fP is a command line utility to perform various maintenance tasks
+on Epson Stylus inkjet printers. These tasks include head alignment, head
+cleaning, nozzle check, printer identification, and retrieval of ink level from
+the printer.
.SH OPTIONS
-.l
-\fIescputil\fP accepts the following options:
-.TP 8
-.B \-P, \-\-printer-name \fI<printer>\fP
-Specify the name of the printer to operate on.
-Default is the default system printer.
-.TP 8
-.B \-r, \-\-raw-device \fI<device>\fP
-Specify the name of the device to write to directly
-rather than going through a printer queue. You must use this (rather
-than specifying a printer) when retrieving ink levels or identifying
-the printer, or if you wish to perform head alignment without
-specifying the printer model.
-.TP 8
-.B \-c, \-\-clean-head
+\fBescputil\fP accepts the following options:
+.TP
+.B \-P, \-\-printer\-name=\fIprinter\fP
+Specify the name of the printer to operate on. The default is the default
+system printer.
+.TP
+.B \-r, \-\-raw\-device=\fIdevice\fP
+Specify the name of the device to write to directly rather than going through a
+printer queue. You must use this (rather than specifying a printer) when
+retrieving ink levels or identifying the printer, or if you wish to perform
+head alignment without specifying the printer model.
+.TP
+.B \-m, \-\-model=\fImodel\fP
+Specify the precise printer model for head alignment.
+.TP
+.B \-u, \-\-new
+The printer is a new printer (Stylus Color 740 or newer).
+.TP
+.B \-c, \-\-clean\-head
Clean the print head. This can also be performed from the printer
front panel.
-.TP 8
-.B \-n, \-\-nozzle-check
-Print a nozzle test pattern. Dirty or clogged nozzles will show as
-gaps in the pattern. If you see any gaps, you should run a
-head cleaning pass or two.
-.TP 8
-.B \-a, \-\-align-head
-Align the print head. CAUTION: Misuse of this utility may result in
-poor print quality and/or damage to the printer. You must either
-specify the printer model with the \-m option, or use the raw printer
-device to allow escputil to detect the printer model.
-.TP 8
-.B \-i, \-\-ink-level
+.TP
+.B \-n, \-\-nozzle\-check
+Print a nozzle test pattern. Dirty or clogged nozzles will show as gaps in the
+pattern. If you see any gaps, you should run a head cleaning pass or two.
+.TP
+.B \-a, \-\-align\-head
+Align the print head. CAUTION: Misuse of this option may result in poor print
+quality and/or damage to the printer. You must either specify the printer
+model with the \-m option, or use the raw printer device to allow escputil to
+detect the printer model.
+.TP
+.B \-i, \-\-ink\-level
Obtain the ink level from the printer. This requires
read/write access to the raw printer device.
-.TP 8
+.TP
.B \-d, \-\-identify
Query the printer for make and model information.
This requires read/write access to the raw printer
device.
-.TP 8
-.B \-u
-The printer is connected via USB.
-.TP 8
+.TP
+.B \-o, \-\-align\-color
+Align the color print head (used by Stylus Color 480 and 580 only). CAUTION:
+Misuse of this option may result in poor print quality and/or damage to the
+printer.
+.TP
+.B \-s, \-\-status
+Retrieve printer status.
+.TP
+.B \-l, \-\-license
+Display the license/warranty terms of this program.
+.TP
+.B \-M, \-\-list\-models
+List the supported printer models.
+.TP
.B \-h, \-\-help
-Display a list of all commandline options.
-.TP 8
+Display a list of all command line options.
+.TP
.B \-q, \-\-quiet
Suppress the banner.
-.TP 8
-.B \-m <model>
-Specify the precise printer model for head alignment.

+.SH BUGS
+USB-connected printers sometimes fail to identify or return ink levels. You
+may have to repeat the command. This is probably a timing issue in escputil,
+not a flaw in the printer.
+.PP
+Anything requiring bidirectional communication with the printer (identify, ink
+levels, or head alignment without specifying the printer model) requires
+read/write access to the printer port (for example /dev/lp0). This may require
+these operations to be performed as root. In addition, kernel support is
+required for bidirectional communication. For Linux version 2.2,
+\fICONFIG_PRINTER_READBACK\fP should be enabled; this is called
+\fICONFIG_PARPORT_1284\fP on 2.4 and later kernels.
+.PP
+If the printer is performing self-test or head cleaning on power up, the
+identify and ink level commands will time out, although the printer
+successfully receives the command. The command will need to be reissued when
+the printer is quiescent.
