(If you have a cable connecting the printer port to the printer, then "Select a
Port" would be "Printer" and "Select a Printer Type" would be "ImageWriter" or
whatever you have. If you have a parallel card in Slot 1 then "Select a Port"
would be "GrapplerPlus" or whatever, and "Select a Printer Type" would be
"DeskJet560C.HAR" or whatever you have.)

017- Can I clean the nozzles on an Epson Stylus printer?
If you've got an Epson Stylus with clogged ink nozzles (anyone with a
Stylus that sits idle for a couple of months), check out
http://www.weeno.com/art/0899/140.html .
Basically, Blake W. Patterson explains that you may be able to unclog the
nozzles using isopropyl alcohol. Here is a snip from the article on WEENO:
"I simply removed the black print cartridge from the printer and dropped 7-10
drops of alcohol down in the ink-recepticle area where the ink cartridge
normally sits (there should be a little hole down in there where the ink
actually flows from the cartridge into the head), replaced the ink cartridge,
and ran a few sessions of the printers head-cleaning routine. It took quite a
few cleaning sessions (probably 15-20) with a few pages of text prints thrown in
there just to try and move some ink, before it cle
ared up."
"It actually had to sit overnight, with the last few cleanings done the next
morning, before all was well--but well it is. Everything works perfectly now,
and I don't have to go out and buy a new printer."
