The reality is injet printers and espeically cheaper models do not like not being used for periods of time. Personaly I gave up using inject printers at home a couple of years afdter I moved to Cyprus, as I just did not print regularly enough and was constantly having to waste ink cleaning and clearing the jets. I went instead for a laser printer, more expensive capital outlay and only black and white but in the long run it has saved me money on a cost per print basis and does not 'clog' like injets can so suits my occasional usage patterns.
