I use clear white vinegar all the time for laundry and wiper blades and
coffee pots. It dissolves mineral deposits and junk left behind by coffee.
All water-based.
I would not recommend using it in an ink jet. If anything would help ink
jets, it would need to be petroleum based, something like acetone or maybe
alcohol.

I think that if it as serious as having clogged lines, a trip to the repair depot is in order. They might give you instructions on how to perform such a task, however, it might not be that simple and easy. As I mentioned earlier in this thread (or one like it) Methyl Hydrate works to dissolve dried ink on the print heads such as the ones found on an HP cartridge. It works well because it evaporates very quickly. I would hesitate to inject any into the ink delivery system (from the inside to the out) as Methyl Hydrate will dissolve plastic. The other problem is a residue left behind with many other solvents. This makes using them cautioned, as you likely don't want to contribute to the situation.
