Cleaning 3800 print head

2011-04-22 by Richard Smallfield

Hi, 
my printer's had a break for a couple of months and I had bad clogging problems (funnily enough they only started after the first three prints).

I found cat hairs in the printer, so I think I should wipe under the head with a damp lint-free cloth in case there are any under there (maybe with glass cleaner on it?). 

My old 2100 was easy for this task - just push the cartridge change button and the head moved into the middle (if I remember correctly). But how is this done with the 3800? I've had a look online and found no instructions.

thanks,
Richard
