Every time I want to print something the damn ink head is dried up. I

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.


I had the same problem. My solution was a cheap laser, it's not only
cheaper per page than an inkjet (especially if you have to discard ink
cartridges because they've dried up), but much faster. I have a
Brother HL1440 which is nice because the toner is replaceable
separately from the drum unit.
