The printer does not know what ink is in it. It doesn't even know if you  
fill in distilled water, or if it runs dry.
I put the yellow ink in the yellow cart, but put that cart in the black  
position. The C84 has the chips in parallel so it does not know which cart  
is where. The idea was to keep the yellow cart yellow. But now i had to  
add some black for visibility. Not a problem spongeless carts are easy to  
clean.


About the carts, i bought mine at <http://www.4-u-all.com>, much cheaper  
than MIS and in the EU. I can recommend them, especially for people in the  
EU, the import may not work out cheaper for you.


I got my printer working again, and have some things to report in my next  
mail.
