Re: 2200 Mk to PK switch

2005-05-02 by krn_ptr

HI Bailey,

Yes it was on this list.  I can't find it by searching either.   However, John 
Vitollo has posted the method I used -- the one I got from Steve Kale.  

Here's a tip to save ink that I discovered almost by accident.  Immediately after 
changing cartridges, instead of pressing the ink button, I shut off the printer 
with the power switch just for about a second or two and immediately power it 
on again.  All the lights come on briefly, and then go off.  The printer is ready 
to print without doing a cleaning cycle.   So far, it hasn't damaged the printer 
and, surprisingly, the nozzle checks always seem to be fine on the first or 
second try.
