printer which is recalcitrant if it is
allowed to be dormant for any period of time ... if one did not know better, one would think that it, too, was broken.When THAT happens, it is necessary to spend 5-to-10 minutes (maybe, it took a longer time -- who can remember?) pressing the button which tells the printer to CLEAR its print jets (whatever the process is called to re-initiate the printer).
The process also uses much ink - and money! This is exacerbated with *some* printers if the head is not 'parked' and thus sealed beforehand. i.e. Switch off *on* the printer and wait for its indicators to go out, before cutting the power supply to it. In my experience - I have 5 printers and some stand still for months - this practice has proved very worthwhile - and I've had my sanity back for some time now ;).
