Joachim, despite your "newb" status, it sounds like you're using some
sort of a computer, probably a PC running running Windows. Computers
tend to behave in a very logical and predictable manner. If you change
an ink cartridge, the printer driver is expected to understand this.
If you want to eject a CD or DVD, you press a button labeled "eject",
etc...

rgiase doesn't have an actual "computer", he has something called a
"Mac". That's sort of a caricature of a computer. I'm sure you've seen
Dali's painting "Persistence of Memory", with the watches melting. A
Mac is sort of like that. When you change inks on a 2200 on a Mac, the
printer driver doesn't understand that a change has been made, so you
have to delete the printer driver that you installed with the old type
of ink, and install a new one to understand the new type of ink.

There's a way around this, by installing the printer twice, that I
describer to rgiase. It's easier, but it makes even less sense than
dumping CDs in the garbage can or installing new printer drivers
whenever you change ink types.
