You've run nothing at all as no ink came out.


Rubbish, nothing came out of the blocked jets but plenty from the
unblocked ones... If no ink is being consumed how come the level drops in
host computers ink level display?


Well they don't usually measure the level in the tanks, they count the
number of pulses and use maths to work out how much is left.
If no ink is coming out it will still count the pulses as it has no way of
knowing.
