Seems I'm getting all the oddball problems right now... here's a really weird one. It seems the species of ant known in the South as a sugar ant (tiny, black, attracted to sweets) likes ink! I keep finding them inside my 1280, occasionally I get one or two glued to a print, and if I have a clogging problem and clean the bottom of the head, sometimes I find a tiny body or two smeared into the glop on the paper towel. If I get sloppy and leave inks drops on the counter after cart-refilling, in the morning there will be a cirle of tiny bodies busily dring away at the stuff. So what do I do, set a few ant-motel bait traps in my 1280? Fumigate it once a week? Mix insecticide in the ink? Buy an ant-eater! yeah! that's the ticket! This is not a joke! Though I can't help laughing... Steve Karafyllakis
