As unbelievable as it may sound, I've totally unclogged the 2 lengths of
tubing. I've injected and pumped back out several syringes of IPA through
the vacuum pump. I see the liquid flow through the clear tubing beyond the
pump, towards the rear of the printer.
Ok, so what kind of performance should I expect from a 'normal' operating
vacuum pump?
I have the tube just laying there with the mouth wide open. I've put a few
drops of IPA in it and powered the printer on and off a few times, the drop
of liquid in the tubing did not move. Was it supposed to, or is this normal
for a power on/off procedure?
I can't do a cleanup operation 'cause I'm out of ink. Is there still hope
for this puppy, or should I take it out back and practice my baseball swing?

This printer is much much worse off than I thought. :(
