2000P query

2005-05-05 by Gary Barnett

You guys have me wondering if I might be able to try this out. Problem 
is, my 2000P has been sitting in a box ever since the 2200 went on the 
market. I was loathe to toss it out, but wonder now if it is 
permanently clogged and dried, never having had the foresight to flush 
out the inks prior to boxing.

Has anyone resurrected a 2000P from this form of negligence? I'd hate 
to go through the investment process, even of fresh cleaning carts, if 
it's a no-brainer that I should quietly bury the printer in the back 
yard.
