In the older 2000p carts there was a tape/yellow tab that had to be removed.  It covered the air inlets.  In the photo you link to above of the cart it looks like the black cart had one of those.

I have not seen the type of cart for a 2000p that is in the photo, but some of the pre-filled carts I have seen from MIS use the small stoppers that are flush with the top of the cart to plug the fill holes.  I assume they are intentionally made hard to remove so that people will not remove them thinking they are the air inlets.  The air inlets use colored plugs with tabs that make them easier to remove.

If you can see into the side of the carts, the fill hole is directly over the reservoir.  See the image at http://www.inksupply.com/instructions/r260_slc_refill.pdf
