Lick your finger and rub over a dried printed page and the HP ink smears
(my Canon BJ-330 does the same).  So water seems to be a solvent, but I
was thinking that there might be a more aggressive solvent out there, to
get down into those clogged-up jets.  See my other post(s) for what
finally worked for me.
