I give this treatment to 840c printer head (I use black ink only) because every time I want to print something (once per month or two) the head is dry (and the ink is not original). If I have no alcohol at hand or am too lazy to walk few meters, I wash it with LCD cleaner in spray. Perhaps I am killing it in the process, but the cost of repairing eventual damage is low and this is interesting experiment. Stand the cartridge upside down on paper cloth, spray the head with a cleaner, watch it sink into the head (or maybe evaporate), repeat. I can usually print few pages after about an hour of that. No guarantees - if you do this to your hardware, you are responsible for the damages. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
