- The printhead is clogged, even after I soaked the head (not the tanks!) overnight in water. I put a new Canon brand cartridge in. I can get one page of nice black text, then the ink starts to run out. - errolv

I have successfully managed to clean the print head with isopropyl alcohol by placing a flexible plastic tube over the cartridge seat, filling the tube partially with the alcohol, then blowing very hard through the tube. The alcohol does not appear to harm anything.
