Digital BW, The Print

The problem seems to be that there is a chip in the printer that keeps track of the amount of ink it thinks is in the waste tank.  Unless you can defeat this chip (or reset it, which can be done) an external tank won't make any difference in the life span.

          Prior to getting this printer running, I've decided to install an 
external waste tank. I've found one link to installation 
instructions specifically for an R340, and another for an R1800 
waste tank installation that (probably) is a better design--has a 
check valve in it. I'll integrate the two resources. 

Adding the waste tank at this point in installation ought to extend 
the printer life, I hope--and reduce maintenance needs, right?

The InkJetFly CIS is arriving today as well. Installation on that 
will wait while I use the MIS cartridges I bought. 

So, photo documentation of both these projects will follow shortly.
