How to clean clogged 1160 head?

2002-10-21 by Kevin

Like Andre, im having problems with a clogged 1160 head (black), after
reading a number of suggestions, Ive decided to unclog it... Now, how do I
expose the printhead?? the printhead will only move to the left if the ink
needs to be replaced, and I dont know how to fool the printer into doing
that... I want to move it to the left, then clean the printhead with a paper
towel soaked with ammonia...

Another method somebody suggested is to actually feed the paper towel, but
then how do I make the printhead to stop moving so I can give it a good
clean?
