in situations like this (epson 3000 a few years back) I have had success with leaving cleaning carts in for a couple days, then if things free up at all.(I thinkyou are already there though) Go easy on the windex as well. there is a special solution available for desktop printers which will purge out nasties..It may well be available for the 4000, but I dont have any info on that..only to say that it is the same stuff that epson uses to clear heads frak --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "byushooter" <jellerbe@j...> wrote: > > I also have a flush cartridge in the PK slot.
