Thank you for your letter. If the printer was able to know how much ink was in the cartridge, it wouldn't have tried to print when you put the empty cartridge back in. It should have put up a dialog box telling you that you just put in an empty cartridge. Isn't that what programs do when you make a mistake? -- Tony LaFemina Major in Layout & Design Techniques Minor in Software Fundamentals http://hometown.aol.com/visitmacland/index.html mailto:remacs at optonline.net | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 28.
