Lloyd,
I am not sure where the pump is on this thing, but
after so many cleanings the Ink Level Indicators
shows that quite a bit of ink as been used. So
I guess the ink is being dumped (into the wet
sponge at the far right of the printer?).
At this point I wish it weren't so. Maybe an
electronic problem?
