Printer maintenance

PeterH
With the Society not meeting during the summer months, and unlikely to be holding print competitions for the foreseeable future, you may not have much reason to print any images at the moment.  However if you have your own printer, remember to run an occasional test print through it, in order to keep things moving, and in particular to avoid any ink drying problems.

One other issue I recently discovered is that my printer is no longer supported on the latest Mac Operating System.  My printer a Canon PRO9000 mkll is 8+ years old and no longer works with my iMac and when I checked on the Canon Website there is no longer a Driver Set available for this printer alongside the latest Mac OS.

Thank you for the advice Peter.
If the printer has not been used for a very long time, do you think new inks should be loaded?

Try printing a test sheet and if it looks like one of the ink cartridges is blocked get the printer to do a printer head clean as well.
