Digital BW, The Print

I regularly have this problem with my R200 -- it can suddenly stop
recognizing one or more chips between prints. Sometimes one or more of
the following steps resolves the problem:

- power off printer, unplug power cable, wait ten seconds, power on
  again
- reset all affected cartridge chips with a chip resetter
- use a razor blade or Xacto knife to trim the tabs holding the chip
  on the cartridge so they are flush with the surface of the chip

Sometime *nothing* works, meaning the printer has managed to destroy
the chip. In this case, you need to replace the chip. I stock spares
from MIS for just this purpose ($1.95 each).

Let's see: the chips don't accurately report the amount of ink
remaining, and they make the whole process more expensive, error prone
and fragile. Yeah, ship it!
