The printer I have, an HP Photosmart 8450, will do me for a while. Performs impeccably. But as I often do not print for long periods the cartridges blocked up. I have new cartridges yet to be installed and when I do I think I will remove them in between printing jobs, tape up the nozzles, and only re-install them when I need to print again. That's the reason I changed to laser.
By the way, I learned a procedure to unclog the nozzles, which at least worked on my old canon bjc4000. Turn the reservoir over, put a drop of alcohol (the disinfectant, not the drinking type) on the nozzles, and wait a bit. Wipe it with tissue, turn over, and hold the tissue (dry part) over the nozzles. Then blow air with some force on the tiny ventilation hole of the ink reservoir: this forces ink to flow out on the nozzles, if it can. The tissue gets stained, and the shape of the stain tells if the nozzles are clean or not.
Repeat procedure till it flows right.
