New to Mac & setup my Canon i950 without a glitch but I cannot find anything in the software to check ink levels like I could with Windows XP. While printing it did warn me once that black level was low but no graph, just a warning. I'd like to check the levels before doing some serious printing!

If anyone has any experience with the i950 or similar Canon printers please let me know.
Thanks!

Your printer may need to warm up / print a page first.

I found this on the Apple forums:
Apple - Support - Discussions - cannot see ink jet cartridge levels ...

Also, did you try Cannon's driver? (select your OS to see the driver / software downloads)

Yup, found it. I don't know my way around a Mac yet. It's a little work getting to Utilities. Then, Maintenance defaults to Cleaning, but, there's a drop down list that takes you to levels.
Thanks!
