Digital BW, The Print

OK, just tried it.  I guess it sounded good in theory...then harsh reality smacked me in the face.  I made the changes to the file, then pulled my yellow cart and replaced it with the MK cart formerly in the glop slot and put my old glop cart back in that slot.

However, now the printer (correctly) reports that an incorrect cartridge is plugged into the yellow slot.  How does one overcome that?
