The ink tanks all have plenty ink so I don't want to buy new ones. I will
try the hot water and ammonia, though I am not sure what ratio the ammonia
to water is and if the water has to be hot. I've never done this before, but
I have some ammonia, so I will mix maybe 1 tablespoon of ammonia with 4
tablespoon of hot water and put it on the print head holes and see if that
helps..

Ok, thanks. Its not under warranty so it might be cheaper to buy another one
if this one can't be fixed. Its only 1.5 or 2 years old so should have
lasted longer I would think. I haven't over-used it but I print 2 times a
week or sometimes more.
