I too have wondered about how best to minimise the number of cleaning
cycles my Epson 2100 does.  I decided to leave it on to try and
minimise them.  But I don't think that this has worked.  If you
haven't printed for a while, but left it on, it will do a cleaning
cycle before it starts printing.  

I wondered about unplugging it, but that would probably just guarantee
a cleaning cycle at each start-up, whereas is you turn it on and off,
it only does a cleaning cycle at some power-ups.
