Digital BW, The Print

I can add to my list of things that don't work:

- grounding the two round contacts on the cartridge to 'reset' it

- changing the printer settings to disable advanced printing features; this was as close as I could come to finding a magical setting that tells the printer not to check the ink levels

I don't know what to do with this thing. It just won't recognize a 3rd party cartridge in the black position.
