Heyho,  
just moved to EndavourOS and using a Canon Pixma G3430 ink tank.  
Is there any tool (from Canon) providing the same experience as under Windows?  
As the printer has no Display all the cleaning and level of ink/maintenance casette is only per tool.  
While the ink level is to see behind the window maintenance casette level would be important and more on top for cleaning nice.  
Thx

and it could be `system-config-printer` shows the option

If the printer is connected over Network it could be that it provides a browser interface too… simply using its IP adress in your local network on your browser address input…
