Philip Bevan, you said this about BJ200 & Rnd dot stereograms:
>Help ....

>I'v screwwed up my printer (a Cannon BJ200)

>I was using Cannon Studio (shareware) to try and print a Random Dot 
>Stereogram (RDS) and now the printer wont actually print anything, 
>even in test mode not connected to my Amiga 1200.

>The printer kicks into life goes through the motion of trying to print, 
>the print head sounds as thoght its moving over the page but no ink
>is being put onto the paper!

>I have had this once before, also when printing a RDS. I took the thing 
>to a local computer repair shop, they cleaned it and said that the 
>cartride had run out of ink.  It seems to me that it would be an 
>incredible coincidence if it run out of ink again the next time a tried 
>to print a RDS.

>Is there a way of finding out if the printer cartridge gas really run 
>out of ink, other than spending 20 odd quid on buying a new cartridge?

Why not just get another cartridge? If the printer works then you're fine,
if not then you have a spare for when the printer's fixed & you *do* run
out half way through something important.
