Ron, I'm pretty much a novice at this and haven't had to try to solve the 
problem you're having, but if I were in your shoes, my next move would be to 
seek advice from MIS. In the "grasping at straws" dept, is it possible that 
you contaminated the electronic interface on the other 3 carts with 
fingerprints? If so, you could try cleaning them..maybe with isopropyl 
alcohol.
But, otoh, it seems like the printer would then think something's amiss with 
those 3 carts and would return a red light error. So, absent that, I'm 
thinking there's in fact some mechanical malfunction going on with those 3 
carts. Wish I could be of more assistance. I'd appreciate hearing how you 
eventually solve the problem.
