I know how you feel about those color bars...and not seeing a red 
light come on on printer!

Well I figure we all help where we seem to have picked up knowledge. 
For example I know a few things about having my printers clog up and 
studying why cuz it happens so much to me (Klog King<g>). But I'm not 
swift with things like doing curves, color management, etc.

I do have a question for Steven though about the trick with the QB7 
and the T008 cart... I never had that problem. I always was able to 
reset both the T007 and T009 carts for 1280 no prob AFAIK without 
having to hang at least the color cart T009's chip on a spare T008 
cart first.

Of course, I used the little clear acriyllic rectangle supplied with 
the QB7 resetter as a shim when resetting (only)the T009 color cart as 
called out in instructions, otherwise the contacts don't line up. Is 
this the problem with not being able to reset the chip on a T009 cart- 
you are not using the shim? Or does it truely not work for you, even 
using the shim under the QB7?

Oh and can you tell me a little more about UHU-stick glue? Never heard 
of it before...
