I would include ink levels, nozzle checks, and other features if they were available but they are behind the "walled garden" of the driver and so, only accessible inside the printer driver.  Mirage is a RIP that only works with a select number of high end Epson and Canon printers and as a RIP, they can run the printer directly.  I don't plan any RIP functions in Qimage because that severely limits the number of printers we can support.  Not to mention the fact that all modern drivers are capable (with Qimage's help) of reproducing as good or better print quality without going the RIP route.  The only thing "missing" compared to a RIP are niche functions like per-ink-channel printing, ink levels, and other "diagnostic" type functions.  For the vast majority of users of course, those are not worth the outrageous price of most RIPs.

Don’t most printer have utilities which show printer thus, that include ink levels?

The accuracy is only going to be as good as the hardware is.  Mirage could indicate fractional values, but if the hardware only actually measures in larger increments, well…..

To my (limited) knowledge, most ink ‘readings’ are approximation, which is why Epson has ink remaining in cart when ‘empty’.  Canon Pro carts are actually able to go empty as they have a reservoir.
