The main thing that seems to go wrong on installation is people don't 
remove the yellow tab over the MIS cart air inlets.  I'm not sure if 
MIS is informing people of this or not.

Yep, it sounds like the yellow tabs are still on the carts.  If not, 
it's probably air in the outlets.  Letting the printer sit still over 
night will often allow the foam to dissipate and ink to flow.

Hope this helps.
