Inkjet printers need regular use.
You go to print something you need right now and the first page comes out streaky or missing a color. While your printer sat idle, ink may have dried in its nozzles. Now you’re running cleaning cycles, using up ink and paper, and reprinting the same page.

-
Configure a print
