Digital BW, The Print

O.K., first, I have the "MIS-BADP", that's what is listed on my 
invoice.

Second, I don't know why I wiggle it. I guess when I have the same 
problem you were having, I wiggled around the BADP and it worked for 
me.

Re-filling these carts can be a PITA sometimes, but I feel it's worth 
it considering the money I save.

Epson inks are a total rip-off, imo.
