Send print job. Printer will beep and give ink cartridge refill error message(s) _Now_ is the time to press 'Stop' for 10 seconds... (do it again for the second error if you changed both cartridges) The Printer will 'contemplate life' for "a little while" (about 2 minutes) then come back to life again. Now you can print!-)
