If you have access to the ink port on the head and can obtain a disposable
hypodermic, you could try fitting it directly to the port (I found a 5ml one
worked best; might be different for other models) and filling the barrel with a
mix of IPA and distilled or deionised water. Put the plunger back in to reduce
evaporation and leave it. If you manage to get some seepage, _gentle_ pressure
might help. Time is your friend.
I do have access to the ink ports (one per colour). I had seen that as an
option (I think the page I saw suggested squeezing the solution through).
To be honest I don't know what I'll do even if I do get it running. I have yet
to find a source of ink for this model so I may be wasting my time. Epson.com
says they're discontinued.
I also have my old flatbed scanner still wrapped up. I'll probably send that
one straight to recycling. And I need to work out what I want to do with my
film scanner. If the Pentax slide duplicator wasn't so expensive I'd sell the
scanner and buy one of those.
Cheers,
Dave
