Not half as glad as I am:-)!
aside to Jack, I didn't see your post below - only seeing it as quoted
in Godder's reply... hmmm.

Ann,
I'm very glad to hear that the 'new' R2400 has worked out! May you have many
many prints to come out of it. :-)

Congratulations, Ann on your capable
and determined persistence in
restoring that printer to a capable
tool!
Was hoping!

Don't know if you were in at the beginning of this saga- I bought a used one
that was scarcely used and had been sitting around for almost two years idle,
with the cartridges -in- the printer. If your's was never set up I'd guess you
are in great shape -

Congrats. I have one. Talk about confused I bought it when the film to digital
revolution was going on. I didn't convert well and moved around a lot. I
still have it and never used it so I am looking to get it set up now. Hope it
works.

Thanks to Darren for posting that link to Robb's method (not our Robb, a
different Robb:-) ) for unclogging
dead heads.. it took a couple of days, but that, followed by the
standard head cleaning procedure and I got
a perfectly acceptable print just now.
Below is the essence of what Darren posted earlier. I used the formula
for the homemade stuff except using
plain household ammonia instead actual Windex, as that was the key
ingredient..
I also consulted a friend of mine who taught chemistry who immediately
pointed out that using vinegar instead
was a BAD idea!
I started out with a printer that produced a nozzle check pattern where
3 of the 8 ports were totally blocked, not
the tiniest bit if ink appearing.. a couple were ok with new ink and the
others spotty.
after a couple of days of Robb's procedure, and a total of about 6
standard head cleaning runs and 3 or 4
test with a test sheet I made up inspired by another vid I saw finally
today I have me a fully operational
R2400... Hurray!

I like (much better) this guy's tutorial:

His use of aquarium pump tubing as a reservoir/sight glass is ingenious.
Also worthwhile is his formula for DIY Inkjet print head cleaner:
