Hi Peter
Thanks for the suggestion. I have already replaced the magenta
cartridge and it is still occuring. In fact, after several
head-cleanings it's worse. Magenta ink is being dripped all over the
page even if only black text is printed. This cartridge is a different
brand to the last one. I suppose it is possible that I have had two
duff ones. :-(
Cheers
Gary
