possibly, but, i'd be a little worried about the acidity, and far more worried about small particles, i suspect that most apple cider vinegar has some suspended solids and inkjet nozzles are a lot smaller than anything in a wiper system. also, you want something that will be a good solvent for the ink, i.e. it's probably good to have a much higher alcohol content. there are likely also dissolved substances in cider that you don't want to leave behind in that particular plumbing. if you want something "natural", try everclear and distilled water, though i'm not sure that fermenting and then distilling qualifies as natural. common usage and legal meaning of "natural" tend to vary widely both from person to person and country to country. remember that ink jets work by vaporizing a small amount of the ink solvent and burping it out through a small orifice, a system very sensitive to dissolved compounds and the smallest suspended solids, both of which will tend to accumulate at the nozzle.
