My routine for unclogging a printhead is to get 99% IPA, blot the head on a paper towel and then drag the head down a sheet of paper until it is leaking ink. As an IT guy, I have recovered several ink cartridges this way.
After you have done this, do several prints until the ink flows properly.
If you have the ability to do so, you should look into buying a used laser printer. The toner is more expensive upfront, but you don’t have these issues and total cost of ownership is significantly cheaper.
Word of warning, do not buy consumer HP printers. These only exist to make you purchase HP toner.














Just go.
Get it done faster.
No time to stop.
This task is my master.
