Playing with ink cartridges can be a 'fun' project too. I had one that refused to print due to clogged orfices... so I finally decided there was nothing to lose to inject it full of the used CLEANER that I had leftover from prior efforts. To my surprise, it worked VERY nicely and in fact, I ended up running the whole cartridge on cleaner instead of ink. The prints were 'slightly' grayish but really not too bad considering what I was using for 'ink'. To tell truth... some of those prints really were 'cleaner' than the cartridge had produced in a long time. Nuttin like getting my "money's worth". I suppose it would probably sound like an advertisement if I said "DON'T THROW THOSE OLD CARTRIDGES AWAY, YOU CAN ...." Don -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
