Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs

Hi,
I needed to make a pcb. I hadn't used the Stylus 460 for atleast 6 months.
After a couple of nozzle cleans, the epson test print showed one black line
missing. A half dozen more cleans wouldn't fix it. So i put in an old black
cartridge after filling it with metholated spirits with a syringe. I did
dozens of cleans until the cartridge was empty, but it was still blocked.
I refilled the cartridge with "Hardworking Nifti" spray cleaner detergent,
and did 20 more nozzle cleans. Now all nozzles work.

In linux, i just enter "escputil -c" 50 times (using the Bash shell repeat
feature) and leave the printer to do 50 nozzle cleans. When i come back, i
just enter "escputil -n" to do a nozzle check.
