    Happy new year my guy! Thanks for sharing this journey with us! You took this way farther than HP ever expected anyone to! I knew it would either end up working, or with you smashing it with a baseball bat. Well done 👍

    im just having the same problem. i wiped the printerhead with wet alco wipes several times but the black box was still empty. will have to take out those mf'ing cables connected to it and soak it like you did it seems. i hate throwing away electronics so it must be done.

      @@KAFKUBA It's like a gift that keeps giving. I found it funny considering the time of year you recorded your video. I spray on more alco based window cleaner, thinking it cannot possibly have more shit in it. Turns out it does.

      @ahpadt as in my video I eventually just soaked the cartridge several times and it came to life

    Kafkuba, this is Sugar Bear. Remember me? I was trying to give you encouragement to stay on trail last year. Well I am planning to section hike the Smokys the last day of March and was looking on RUclips to see vids of last year to look for expected weather conditions … and got to your ‘Day 22’! Your footage is basically a cautionary tale not to do the Smokys so early (and I’ll be doing it a week earlier than you). You were very open and descriptive of the conditions you survived. Just wanted to say hey and let you know I appreciated your journey. PS, I hate shelters, so I’ll be hammocking thru that section. Happy New Year! Sugar Bear

      @@KAFKUBA I’ve hiked from Springer to Fontana Dam and will be sectioning with another, having a car positioned at Newfound Gap and the dam (we’ll meet at Gatlinburg, and if conditions look like what you had, we’ll go to plan B, which is Hot Springs to Erwin).
      So far, I’m 800 miles in (have also hiked from Front Royal, VA to Manchester Center, VT).
      You did a great hike and I am certain that if you had a solid Tramily support and not hiking alone, you would have made it all the way (yeah, I know that wasn’t your goal, but I’m just sayin’.). Sugar Bear

      @@KAFKUBA Tried 3 new print heads. They all immediately errored out. Sooooo, I tried the technique I have been using on other inkjet printers. The original printhead does not error out. Flushed the old printhead with very very warm water. It slowly started filling in, continued the process and now the black is printing. Fun fun fun!!!
