Digital BW, The Print

A recent Epson experience that may or may not apply to a 1400:  When I 
set up a new C88+ recently I tried to start off using partially full OEM 
color carts (the old printer died with ink left in the carts - I kept 
'em) but the printer wouldn't even start its setup routine.  Had to put 
full ones in, then it started up and ran fine.  I know you can stick in 
partially full carts in normal use, but apparently the printer has to 
begin with full ones.  At least on the C88 line.

Just FWIW.

Cheers,
Kip
