Being one who like to take things apart to see how they tick, I
nowadays look around for help in doing so, and have found that the
online sources for service manuals, some free, some for a few dollars,
are invaluable. Here are a few places that have the 2200 or (in
europe) 2100 service manuals and or supplies for cleaning the heads.

Lots of gear, not much time

No, I'm not looking for advice on how to clean my printer while
skydiving. I'm wondering what some of you folks do when you've
cleaned and cleaned and cleaned your printer's heads but still keep
coming up with clogged nozzles.
Last night I set up my old Epson 2200 for the first time in a couple
years. Naturally, the heads were all clogged from disuse. Recalling
my old Epson rep's advice, I sprayed some Formula 409 on Q-tips and
moved the head back and forth over the swabs. I did this many times
(at least two dozen, if not more). I also ran Epson's head cleaning
maintenance app (in their normal printing drivers) quite a few times.
The magenta and yellow heads are still partly clogged, and I just
can't get them to clear up. The rep said not to use alcohol to
clean the heads, so instead I put a couple bottles of alcohol in me
(in this case, Pyramid Apricot Hefeweisen) and called it a night.
Anyone have any other cleaning ideas?
Also, is there any way to easily remove and clean the waste ink pad,
where the automated head cleaning takes place?
