It is not the warning that is of issue. If you keep printing the printer will eventually stop and report you are out of ink, but there will still be some ink present. Air in the system will cause an air lock and no ink will flow. Same thing can happen in a hot-water home heating system. It is a pain to fix. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
