Digital BW, The Print

Switching carts back and forth is somewhat suspect...quite easy to 
see how the ink could leak from that...


One thing to ask... do you always turn off the printers with the 
switch on the printer itself? This is important and if you are not, I 
suspect that to be your problem.
