Just a warning people
You may get problems if you try printing the Membership Form using a black cartridge

I did put the colour cartridge back in and hey presto printed fine :D

should we change the logo to black then?

I take it you're using either a lexmark/IBM/Xerox or an Epson printer?...:Ponder:

Apollos use old HP technology, not Epsons - I've dealt with them before, let's say;)

They do indeed throw wobblies INSERT INTO post VALUES (technical term) when asked to print colour when the correct cartridge isn't fitted. And likewise, if there's only a colour cartridge in and you try and print black, you'll get a nasty, mottled brown colour.

Epsons can be worse - they will not print whatsoever unless there's both a black and a colour cartridge in the printhead carrier, and they must *both* have some ink in - even if you're only printing black!!

My one is that crappy you can only have 1 or the other cartridge plugge in
:rolleyes:
