--------------
I had the same problem with an early bjc600 (connected to an A5000), of it
dumpimg ink. I was given the same advice by the repairer that the machine
should be switched off at the mains /after/ switching off at the machine.
According to him the problem was due to spikes being passed through the
still live mains connection into the printer and confusing the in printer
electronics, (filling some sort of counter?) causing a head clean at each
pass of the print head. They also updated the ROM in the printer, this
helped but I still used ink at an expensive rate.

When I changed to my RPC600 from the A5000 the problem disappeared
completely. I had however come to the conclusion that there was also
possibly something wrong with the printer port on the A5000, but I cannot
now remember why I came to this conclusion. Could it be that you are using
an older machine?.

Regards Tony B
