Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't sure whether to do that or not. I
just removed the tabs, and the black ink appears to be flowing better
but the others aren't. I can't clean the nozzles because of the low
ink indication. Any idea how to proceed? Can I reset the indicator
somehow?
