Digital BW, The Print

Well this morning stopped at True Value and picked up some dry lube.  
Went with a "Panef brand white stick lubricant with silicone" for 
about $2.99.  

Went with the white _stick_ thinking I might be able to apply it more 
easily, Less spill possibility.  I think the other kinds (graphite, 
etc.) are more of a powder?? and I was concerned that I would get it 
all over the innards of the printer.

To get around that 'platen' bar I first wiped it with a kleenex 
(convenience only) then ran the white stick across it as well as I 
could.  Smeared it around the bar with my fingers some, then pushed 
the print head back and forth a couple of times.

Turned it back on and ran a test print...no squeak.  Seems to have 
done the trick.

Sincerely,
Cleavis
