So far I have not made much progress. I've 4 old cartidges and 2 new
ones, and I want to make certain the old ones are bad before opening
new. I do not print much, and cannot even find something different each
time to print for the tests I am makeing.
If you are inclined to email me
for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-)
