Don't forget to use the other colors too, you don't want those to 
clog up while you concentrate on the problem color. Since you had an 
unused "color", would it make sense to leave the cleaning cart 
installed where it is, and remap that color to the other head? Then 
you could go on printing while you are waiting for the cleaning fluid 
to do it's job. But this may be more work than it's worth.
