I did read up on the web, and about a year after the printer was bought  
many people only get blank pages after a year, usually after replacing the  
cartridge. Now that sounds like a clogged head, but actually there seems  
to be some problem with the vacuum hose getting disconnected (sometimes  
after getting plugged up at another spot). This would be easy to fix, but  
my fear is there might still be a serious clogging problem.

It is impossible for me to tell how many of the reports about clogged  
heads are actually clogged heads, and how many might just be the vacuum  
hose and the user not knowing that. Any thoughts on that welcome.

Anyone have a C84?
