Re: On or Off?

I've been running my 2200 for about three years.  The only time I've 
shut it down is when the power fails (about four times a year out 
here in the country).  I print about once every two weeks.  If I 
don't print for a week, I generally run a nozzle check.  Never had a 
clog and almost never have to clean the heads.
