Low maintenance printer.
I had two Bubblejet Lexmark printers so far and I was reasonably happy with
their performance and maintenance. Lately, I took advantage of a Radio Shack promotion and bought an Epson inkjet C82. It was fast, thought sometime it printed garbage at the top two lines of the page. The, it ran out of ink. I filled it with generic ink but I was told that this printer is sensitive aand needs new cartridges. Bought generic ones for C80/C82 and now after spending over $110, I was told that the original re-fill ink had plugged the jets and waived the warranty. Now, I need to replace the printhead. I'm not going to botherAccepting the fact that I'm one of those suckers born every minute.). But I'm open to any advise this group may offer on which printer is generally speaking the best buy considering ease of maintenance, not so delicate/touchy on inks. Thanks in advance Rufus |

Despite that with your situation try using Windolene (USA Windex) probably in a near empty cartridge which will then clean from within. That could and should disolve any remaining crud or dried ink. You may have to reset the cartridge if it showed empty. -- Inkylink JetTec UK Quality - Wot others wanna-be Epson 950 C70/80/82 Lighfast pigmented inks.

Every HP inkjet cartridge comes with a NEW printhead built in.
