RE: [Digital BW] Clog from h***

Well, my clog is gone, but I'm not sure why.  I went to the grocery
store and they actually were kind enough to give me a syringe for free.
And I bought some ammonia.  I mixed it, loaded it in the syringe, moved
the print heads over and removed the black cartridge, only to find that
I had no idea how to catch the fluid that would pour out the bottom of
the print head once I started squirting it in.  I could not find a way
to take the bottom off the printer, and I could not find a way to get
anything under the print head without damaging or moving metal parts
that apparently should not be moved.

So I put the cartridge back in a figured I'd ask the list how to deal
with catching the fluid, and then I printed another test.  Apparently
the Epson Gods was with me because this time it's OK.  Printed a black
only photo and it's great again.

If anybody cares to explain, I'd love to understand the mystery of it
all..........

Thanks,
Ed
