First of all, thanks to every body for various hints.  I finally take
my day off and go back to the store (I needed anyway some new cartridge).

The problem was double:

1- Black cartridge became defective at the moment it was re-installed.
Despite clean-up, it was not working anymore.  Cure : always keep
a few old cartridge, just in case, for testing.

2- By being defective, the black cartridge let some ink dropped on contacts.
This made the color cartridge was not working too.  Cure : clean-up
every thing you could with the appropriate material like a non-shaggy
towel.  And always try a 3rd cartridge if 2 are not working.

BTW, the store replaced the black cartridge at no charge.  HOWEVER, when I
opened the box, it was clear some ink was sparsed into the carrying housing.
Also, when I re-installed the black cartridge the 1st time, there was an
ink deposit.  So, I presume it is a weak point of the system : ink will
leave the cartridge too easily.

Thanks again to netters (I got a lot of emails : looks like the
500C is very popular).
