good advice. i have an "apple color printer", i think their first inkjet, that indeed has big ink bags and tubes to the printhead, when i got it it was badly clogged. i ran a lot of rubbing alcohol and even everclear and distilled water through it and got it back in great shape, but i did have to refill the old ink bags 3 or 4 times and keep printing test pages. it takes a syringe and needle to do this easily in this case, easy to get in some states, practically probable cause in others, fortunately i live in a state with a lot of live stock, i can go buy any size syringe and needle i want up to 50 cc with a truly scary needle, if i ever needed one. syringes are handy for all kinds of things, great for oil and grease especially with a needle attached, just don't get stupid! in any case, clogged plumbing can usually be cleared along with badly clogged heads.
