Sounds as though the chip may not have reset correctly. I would take it back
the Cartridge World you originally got it from, don't forget you have an
unconditional warranty on that cartridge.

Many thanks for this advice.
I have taken the apparently faulty tank back to Cartridge World.
They acknowledge that some chips may have errors.
They exchanged my tank without any fuss and I have fitted this new one
and all goes perfectly once again.
Clearly the chip tells the printer how much ink is left in the tank and
needs
to be reset to "Full" when the tank is refilled.
Cartridge World say come back if any further problems so they are
delivering good customer service.

Actually, the printer "records" the ink level onto the chip.

We need to begin to demand a new pricing model. And I believe the only
way that will happen is if it is legislated, so time to work on our
elected representatives (or, since this is a widely read international
group) your local dictator ;-)

Seriously, this business model is very bad for the health of our planet
and its inhabitants, and it makes for crummier inkjet printers in terms
of reliability, because they are "toss away" goods now.

I did not ask for this model of pricing.
Personally I would prefer to pay more for the printer
and less for replacement ink tanks.

I second that motion, wish it were true.
