Hello, Jean.

 JP>              Sun is back out again, Jim. Flat tide too. 18.3'

If that's the diff between high and low, that's quite a tide.

 JH> Hello, Jean.  I got msg marked 'PVT' but I think that doesn't work
 JH> anymore, since others have replied - - and that is fine with me.

 JP>             I did not stamp it "Private", I used Major, Sir.

Oh, I see now - - "Pvt" is low-lighted, not highlighted.  I now agree -
McBrine must be color-blind.

 JP>         I have that text at home still, now I have it here too.

 JH> BC-02 lists only isopropyl alcohol

 JP>         Is this the liquid that is used as fuel line anti-freeze ?

I dunno, but kind of doubt it.  Isopropyl is commonly called "rubbing
alcohol".


 JH> When I do get around to working on the supply of dried-out Canon
 JH> printheads here, I think I'll start with Isopropyl, maybe mixed with
 JH> some distilled water.  Overnight soak minimum, then with a folded up
 JH> kitchen paper towel -  the very absorbent ones,  press the printhead


 JP> Do mention here any success with this procedure. I tried it too,
 JP> overnight and at least 5 hours on the soaked absorbent tissue.

 JH> I think I wrote you that I used to have an "ultrasonic jewelry
 JH> cleaner" thingie

 JP>         I have seen these in use before. Amazing.

My sweet wife confessed she sold it one time when we had a garage sale.
After that, my daughter wanted to use it, and now I want it.  Plenty of
them available at Ebay, but new ones are rather pricey.

But  I do need to get to working with these - - where I volunteer, they
have no patience with working on those, and will just throw the whole
printer away if printhead is clogged with dry ink.

... Jim, why does everything these days have to be so danged complicated?-Bubba
