Laurie:

Thanks for the reply.  How would one flush the ink out of a printer?  I
thought they didn't operate if a partially used cartridge was removed.

Certainly, my ancient HP DeskJet 870Cxi won't run if even the cover is
opened but it's so old that it's a museum piece.  BTW, it has never clogged
or dried up though, even when we've been away for two months.  Res is awful,
longevity worse, color a nightmare.
