[QUOTE=LI SNOWBIRD;670113][SIZE="5"]We are snowbirds and will b e leaving soon. I would like to know what you do to prep your printer for a few months span of non-use. We've had to buy a new one almost every season mainly because the heads are clogged with dry ink. a new printer is fairly cheap ( in fact I have a friend who buys a new one every time she runs out of ink-- she claims it's as much to buy new as is to buy ink). But I would rather keep the one we have
I've followed internet help with no positive results. So what's your secret?
Thanks
I have dealt with the same issue, however, in the cold northeast when closing for the winter. Have removed cartridges, sealed in plastic bags and take home with me only to find out the cartridges dried out over the winter. Last year I decided to do nothing - just leave the cartridges in and hope for the best. Lo and behold, all is fine this spring.
