Canon i960 Status Monitor problem

Trigger 37, are you out there?

You would be well advised to order one of Trigger 37's printer manuals. Just email him.

I flushed the print head under a hot water stream and it's now setting in a saucer of Windex - to be dried and checked in the morning.

You need to be VERY careful after getting a print head wet like this. You should dry it with a paper towel, then use canned air to blow all the water you can from the electronics buried in the guts of the print head. Then you really should put it in a warm, dry place for at least a day, preferably several days. Any liquid on the electronics can permanently damage the print head and worse, a damaged print head can damage the printer in such a way that it will in turn damage another good print head.

Please use caution and be very patient.
