In the printer wars days (Epson vs. HP), I was convinced 
that HP partisans recycled clogging reports indefinitely. 
But I am an Epson partisan, so take that with a grain of 
salt.  

The most notorious clogger was supposed to be the Epson 
Stylus Color 600. I still have one and use it about once 
every three months.  It is usually perfect.  Once in a 
while I have to run a cleaning cycle.  If I have to run a 
cleaning cycle more than once, I put a few drops of Windex 
on the "home" pad that the heads rest on and leave it for a 
while.  I always get a good nozzle check after that.  It's 
very wasteful to keep running cleaning cycles.  Windex is 
better.

The 600 is noisy, my PhotoEx at work is less noisy, my 1160 
is amazingly quiet.  I don't know why there is a difference.
