That leaking problem was rampant with our H-P 600 series DeskJets
cartriges; so I am happy to be back with the much more tolerant
Lexmarks.

Couple of helpful hints: work over an old newspaper to catch the
drippings, etc.; and rub vasoline into fingers to fill the pores
beforehand; they can be very difficult  to clean after handleing
cartriges, etc..

Ciao, Ack.
