O misery.  MIS told me to suck 3cc out with the bottom-fill adapter.
I did -- no help.  Concurrently, I ran out of ink in my perfectly
functional MIS-supplied Eboni cartridge, so I pulled out the plug and
squirted in some fresh Eboni, put the plug in, reset the chip ...

and what do you know, I've got the same problem with this cartridge
now!  So now I think I must be doing something wrong in the filling
process.  Tell me, is it very important when using the syringe to
avoid air bubbles?  Because I don't think I've been too good about
that.  (Not that it mattered with the other five chambers, though!)
