Digital BW, The Print

David, I'm sorry to hear about all the problems you've had.

I recall reading a comment about the early 3800 refillable cartridges having
an issue, and something then being changed. I don't think there was any more
detail than that. 

I purchased a set of these in September, and I will be installing them
(finally) in the next few weeks. I do hope that I have a clean installation.

What direction will you be going now?

Terry.
