I have to use the M cart... but still... the fact that the ink drips
in in miniscule blobs is stupid and makes me think that's not the way
to do it either. And why when I insert the needle further does the
ink all start coming out the bottom????? Is there some kind of seal
that I'm breaking? And if so, how am I supposed to be able to refill
the cart if a plastic seal thing is in the way?????

I'm talking a $50 special here... $400 is wayyyyy too muchto think
about. I notice Business Depot has a Cannon something or other
bubblejet for $59 right now.
I likely print under 500 pages a year, but a number of hundred, for
sure. For editing stuff I print out on the dotmatrix. The inkjet was
for the finished stuff. I'm just mad I busted the cart... how dumb is
that... and that for some rreason, I seem unable to understand how to
refill a cart....
