Digital BW, The Print

Trying Paul's C86 and MIS setup. I have followed Paul's settings to 
the letter with one little problem.  I get little or no ink on the 
paper. After having searched the index and reading almost everything 
on this setup I have discovered the air bubbles in the cartridges. 
have tried the wait two hours, run nozzle check(perfect), head 
alignment(perfect),and repeat. I would rather not wait two weeks or 
so for the air bubbles to dissapate.  Any suggestion?
PS what a great list and a bunch of friendly helpful people!!
