Any advice how to unclog them? I've googled the heck out of that question, tried various solutions (i.e., both various procedures and various liquids) without success. Two printers in particular, not-so-important: HP Envy 4500 important 11x17" printer: Brother MFC-J6920DW I only got the HP for occasional color requirements, with most printing on B&W lasers. And the Brother's actually mostly for scanning large-format originals. So neither gets much printing use. Hence the clogs. And if I ever do manage to unclog them, I figure the heads should then probably be cleaned after each use, before they clog. What would be the proper procedure for that? -- John Forkosh ( mailto: j@f.com where j=john and f=forkosh )
