I find this explanation highly likely - I have just had a "clog from hell" on an Epson 1160 and had done everything with pads soaked in lighter fluid etc to no avail but then recalled that a while back someone advocated taking the damn thing for a drive to give it a gentle shaking. Five miles later - mark you the potholed roads of Oxfordshire given you the pefect Martini "shaken, not stirred" - and the thing worked perfectly. I am sure that Bob's suggestion about moving air bubbles is the explanantion fo this lovely low tech solution to a high tech problem.
