I have been trying to get a CANON BC 2100 printer work with an iMAC.

Installed the driver, put in new cartridges and All I can get is pale blue and grey. I have tried "test" patterns with boxes of colour Red, yellow, green and dark blue but nothing.

I am thinking the printer head is blocked through irregular use. I realise that I can get a new one for ?$100, but for that I might as well by a new printer. This one has both USB and Serial, and thats eseential.


So to clean the carrier? I was thinking, high purity water and mild ultrasound. Anyone argue against that? Would say a 5% methanol solution be another possibility? Any NO No s?
