T&T: On-board Printer issues

[Rob Zanussi]

Bob et al. I have used those cartridge refill places and they suggested
that when a cartridge runs dry, place it in a plastic bag with a damp gauze
pad. They said they can not refill a cartridge that has totally dried out
and that this will keep it moist. They also return the refilled cartridge
in the similiar condition (plastic bag with damp gauze)

Perhaps storing the cartridge between uses in this fashion would solve the
problem.

Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have millions of old ladies
running around with tattoos and pierced navels?
