I'm afraid that isn't correct. The HP Deskwriter/Deskjet 600 doesn't
need to have both cartridges at once. The 660 does have space for both
cartridges at the same time, but I don't know that if it is necessary
for that model.
The 600 can only take one cartridge at a time. (Mines work fine since
summer of '95.)
Have fun.
