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've had some with this problem, the HP 840C I have now has been on the
same cartridge for almost a year now and occasionally goes for months of
disuse.

No, lasers don't dry out, color lasers are expensive but if you do
mostly B&W printing they're great.
