Solution:
Create a Notepad document with TESTTHEPRINTER repeated 3 abreast and 40
down. Bold font. Also, create a MYC color stripe set in your paint
program. Save these to a desktop folder named PRINTER. Open and print
each one once a week, and the printer won't dry up. The "clean the print
head" utilities with most inkjets are designed to use up lots of ink.
Don't use them unless absolutely needed.

Every time I want to print something the damn ink head is dried up. I
don't print much. So I have to buy a $50.00 print cartridge every time
I want to print 2 pages. I think I should get a rebate on the ink left
in the old cartridge. The cleaning cycle most of the time don't clear it up.
I'm thinking of going back to dot matrix. Do lasers have the same
drying up problem from lack of use?
I would call an ink jet printer a failed invention if it can't work on
demand. Maybe they need a law suite slapped on them.
