Dave: the problem of clogged heads is usually caused by turning off the
printer at the mains socket instead of using the ON/OFF switch ON THE
PRINTER. On switching off, the machine performs a head-cleaning and parking
sequence which is essential for trouble-free restarting from cold next time.
This is aborted if you cut off the power by another means, so the ink just
dries in the jets and clogs them.

Try it...  (BTW, it's in the FM)
