I got my epson stylus 400 printer (i use only for PCBs) in 1995.
I've unclogged the head a few times either by putting in a cartridge 
filled with Nifty cleaner, or pulling out the head and wiping it with a 
paper towel soaked with nifty, or putting the head in an ultrasonic cleaner.

Other brands of printer have the print head in the cartridge iirc.
