Digital BW, The Print

where do you have the bottles?  If they are too low the heads can't 
suck enough to pull the ink up into the cart.  I did have one friend 
with the 1280 and for some reason he could not get his CFS to work no 
matter what... MIS gave him a full refund and he bought a 2200.

My 1160 works pretty well... except for some of the expected problems.
