I tried this, honest.  Just tried it again.  I found the driver, but
nothing about a status monitor or utility or anything like that.

No "Epson Utility" in /Applications/Utilities either.

Ok, let's see.  I found a kit here:

  http://www.inksupply.com/spongless_carts.cfm

which includes:

  needle
  lure lock
  spongeless carts (1 5-color, 1 black)
  bottom fill adaptor
  chip resetter
  set of inks, 4 oz each

That seems like the right thing, then.  I'll get 5 extra needles
so there's one per color.  Is there good documentation of the
refill procedure available somewhere on the net?

Thanks.
