Digital BW, The Print

The 3000 prints looked a LOT better, and I like the large paper size
available for the 3000.

I don't believe the 3000 has direct access to the ink levels...though the
hardware seems to support it...there is a lever that goes into the
cartridges, and I believe it does have some "idea" as to the link
level...much less when it believes it's out.  The 1160 etc. actually count
the number of ink drops they print...so that's done in firmware, not by
actually measuring the ink.
