I’m going to abandon my printer for 3 months this winter. What is the best means of protecting it from such a long idle period. Is there aftermarket software to have it print automatically at prescribed intervals? I will have a house sitter. Should I just set it up for him to print at regular intervals? I’d be concerned that if (and or when) something went wrong he’d be incapable of troubleshooting a problem. I can’t find anything in the forum or online that makes much sense to me. I’m using and Imac.
If you don’t have access to a PC, then it may be best to instruct your house sitter to print something about once a week, and remove/shake ink carts every 2 weeks to keep ink in suspension. They will need a little printer operation instruction, like how to print nozzle checks, feed paper, send a print job, remove/shake/reinstall carts, etc…
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions, or there’s anything else I can help you with.
Best regards~ Dana
