Re: [APML] OT: Canon vs Epson clogging

["Jim & Kay" <jscott16@netexpress.net>]

Move the print head over to the left as if you were changing
the cartridge.  Put some windex on the pad that the cartridges
rest on when the machine is turned off.  I use a straw and
dip it in the windex and then empty it on top of the pad.  Let
it sit overnight and this may loosen the clog.
