Hi Don,

I found the fuzzies on my printers were caused by the paper!  I use HWM, and
found that after a hundred or so prints, the paper dust ended up all stuck
to the bottom of the nozzles.  Cleaning cycles didn't remove them...and I
had to resort to a sticky sheet for preventative maintenance and a Windex
soaking (in the capping pad) to soften them up then a few cleaning cycles,
which would wipe the things off.  If your wiping arm (sounds funny, I know
;-) isn't doing a good job, because it's off, then that could be a reason
cleaning cycles won't work for you.  Sometimes the capping pads also get
knocked off, and won't seal the heads when parked!

Regards,

Austin
