Hi all: Well, I found instructions on the Internet that works with all inkjet printers with clogged heads unless the heads are part of the ink cartridge. I took my ink cartridges out of the Epson 1200, dropped a small amount of rubbing alchol about three times a day for a couple of days into the head holes, then put in new ink cartridges. I then ran the head cleaning cycle about 4 times. Hooked it up to my PC and first printout was like new!!!!!!!! I am thrilled. Only cost me 99 cents for the bottle of rubbing alchohol!!!! Now I am cleaning my Canon inject. Cheap fix!! The alcohol dissolves the dried ink clogging the heads.
