Re: 2200 Question--update

2012-03-08 by sethrus

Having just gone through similar issues witth a 2400, I found a solution. My LLK just would not check.  Power on and nozzle cleanings wouldn't clear.  A WIndex (Ammonia--NOT vinegar!!) filled cart was used twice also.
Finally, using SSC, Power Clean didn't solve it. I went to the "Initial Charge" setting (a LOT of ink though) and the next nozzle check was perfect.

So far, it looks like nothing has been damaged so I am stopping to mess with it. I do not think the heads in a 2200 are removable. Anyway, not sure i'll be good enough to remove them.
