   Well, hoping this gets to the right place......   The solution is simple,
just remove the cartridge and <> wipe the face of the cartridge with
a piece of soft tissue.  This has cured my clogged jet problems every
time.

A friend with a ThinkJet makes the following suggestion:  If you poke a
paper clip or something in the hole in the back of the ink cartridge, there
is some danger of poking a hole in the ink sack.  Just blow firmly into the
hole, then wipe the ink off the front -- works fine with less danger of
damage.

PS:  Note that the ink is blown away from your face.
