I used to have a HP, and a Canon, that both did that. After the Canon clogged up, I decided I'd stick with laser printers, only. It occurred to me, later on, that I probably should have pulled the colour ink tanks out, soaked them in water overnight, just to keep the moisture sensor fooled into thinking there was still ink in the tanks. Inkjets are a huge money waster. Tiny, expensive, ink tanks. They dry out without use. They go through more than half of their ink in repetitive cleaning cycles (if you rarely ever print in colour, if you did print in colour, that proportion would be less, as you'd actually be using some of that ink). And you have continual head clogs, some of which just will not clear. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
