I hadn't used my 1160 for over a year and no matter what I tried 
nothing would work until this.
I disconnected the tube from the print head and slid the smallest 
wire I could find into the tube and that finally released the clog.
The wire is very bendable and tiny so it wouldn't puncture the 
side of the tube.
This really worked when nothing else would and believe me I 
tried everything.
