    Is there an option to 'clean print heads'? Some printers don't have the heads on the cartridge and these could be blocked.
    Ever stop to think and forget to start again?
  • thanks will have a look but i dont think i have.

    the heads on my old Lemark were alwayys drying out and clogging, i could sometimes get them going again by cleaning them gently with a damp piece of Kitchen towel...then trying the clean print nozzles
