OKay, so it looks like the printer does not know which cartridge is
in which slot - so that's good. I didn't think it could tell by the
color of the ink, rather, that damn chip everyone is having troubles
with.
Anyway, I guess this ink won't work anyway, so I will have to get a
refillable cartridge.
I did take a few minutes earlier to look at the path through that
printer. It doesn't appear to be as clear as I had hoped :-(
Obviously, the area where the CD passes through is clear. However,
the area on the other end is blocked by something. I believe it is
the paper feeder thing - very deep in the printer so didn't get to
look really good at it.
GRRRR, don't these printer Mfgs. know that we have a "Special
purpose" for these printers that requires a clear - straight and
flat path for our PCBs! ;-)
