Randy, be careful about using paper towels.  two problems, one is they might
leave more fibres on the printhead than you've removed as gunk.  Lastly,
paper is an abrasive media.  Potentially, it could scratch the nozzle plate
(the physical part that is closest to the paper) of the print head.

A cheap way is to use a baby-wipe.  They are lint-free rags, and work great.
