Late last night after discovering that the cyan was partially clogged - partly through a large roll paper print - again, after daily printing and regular nozzle checks - I decided to try some of the unclogging tips that have been posted in this forum previously, e.g. "Puddling The Cap" (

I also pulled out the maintenance tank and wiped up some slimy bubbles that had accumulated around the centre ring. Printing resumed much better. Whew.
Unfortunately, I pushed down a little too hard on the green plastic arrow tab on the bottom left of printer head carriage while trying to find the cutter release (I know, I should have just gone to bed and started fresh in the morning :-o
I heard a faint tap sound and a tinkle like something falling into the machine; not sure if I broke a tiny piece of plastic molding or not. Couldn't find anything, but the green plastic tab now droops loosely and I think is what is now causing a light tapping sound when printing.
The cutter still works fine, so no problems *yet*, but if anyone knows how to reseat the green tab more firmly, I'd certainly appreciate it.
