Arguably there is no reason why you couldn't turn the printer off, swap the
cartridge, delete it from Printer Setup (Mac), turn it on, then re-add it to
Printer Setup and do as you say.  I guess I naively thought that would use
the same amount of ink.  How much do you think is in the line from the
cartridge to the head etc?
