Digital BW, The Print

Bill; I assume you're resetting with the QB7? I've been using it on 
both a 1280 and a 780, with Epson chips on either MIS (for pigs) or 
Epson carts; I've found i repeatedly have the same trouble with the 
1280 carts, but never with the smaller 780 (T008) carts. I now remove 
the chips, put them on a spare T008 cart, reset, and replace on the 
T009, using a little blob of UHU-stick glue behind the chip to keep 
it on. Works every time.

Regards,

Steve
