On the 1520, under W98, with status monitor, you are given a warning of low 
ink levels and you can continue printing.  After a while, the printer locks, 
and you cannot print.  

Under W2K with the 1520, you just run out of ink and see it on whatever you 
have printed -- a good way to ruin the heads I would imagine.  There are no 
ink warning lights on the 1520.

There was a status monitor for the 3000 under W98.
