After reading this post last week, I called Lexmark re our inkjet printer. They said leave the printer plugged in, leave the cartridges in. When we get back, take the cartridges out and wipe of the bottom, where the ink comes out, with a lint free rag. Put the cartridges back in and print. She said the worst that could happen is we need new cartridges, but the printer will be fine. Suggest others call their printer manufacturer also.
