Re: [APML] Printer question

["Rick Miller" <apollo@alltel.net>]

Some printers have a "cleaning tray" that the inkjets park over when the
printer isn't running (usually it's pretty hard to see). If yours has one,
it may be filled up with gooey piles of half-dried ink that the print head
is rubbing up against after you clean everything else... It's usually
easiest to clean these out (carefully) with a q-tip soaked in alcohol. It
might take several attempts to get it all out.
