Answer by  zombieguy (986)

If the built-in cleaning function, accessible by right clicking on your printer icon and selecting Properties, doesn't work, remove the cartridge and pur a few drops of isopropyl alcohol into the nozzle, then scrub them with a q-tip dipped in alcohol. Allow it to evaporate before replacing the cartridge.

Get a tissue paper or a clean cloth. Damp it with liquid alcohol or water (alcohol is preferred). Take out the cartridge from the container and clean the bottom part.

Clean the nozzles using clean paper and the Clean Print Nozzles (or similar) command. This command come with the print driver and installs on the PC with the driver.

Remove the ink cartridges from the printer and apply a Lysol wipe to the inside of the printer. Remove all ink stains from printer circuits. Clean underneath each ink cartridge and shake the cartridge slightly, allow to dry and then replace.

It is very easy just remove the cartridge and pour a few drops of isopropyl alcohol into the nozzle, then scrub them with a q-tip dipped in alcohol. And allow it to evaporate first before replacing the cartridge.

You can't clean the print jet, all you can do is get a new one. Unless you have an electron microscope of course.

Typically, the software that comes with your printer has a utility that will clean these nozzles for you. I do not recommend that you try any other way to clean the nozzle.

Your printer should have a self-cleaning option when the application is open on your computer, to clean the ink cartridges. Good luk.
