It's in the title! =) ;) I'm running Lubuntu 15.04 and can't find out how to clean the printer head/nozzles. I'm sure I've seen it somewhere but I can't remember. And yes, I've got CUPS installed and the correct driver for my particular printer.

Thanks =)

P.S: This might turn into a different discussion if cleaning the head/nozzles doesn't work. =)

The easiest way is to use menu in the printer itself. The printer should have a display. There must be an option to test/clean nozzles.

Stylus Workforce 320 has this functionality. You can look at the printer's manual to do it.

Press menu button, then go to 'Maintenance' -> 'Head cleaning'.

If the printer has no features to do it there, then you could install escputil.

sudo apt-get install escputil

You can check nozzles by

escputil -n

and clean by

escputil -c

There are some other options, you can see them in

man escputil

  • I've just considered the setup more closely, and oddly enough, you appear to have to press two buttons at once. =/ Weird.
