Hello,
I try to print something every six weeks or so to keep the ink from drying out. I am wondering if I actually need to print or is just turning on the printer enough to move the ink.
Thanks.
<edit> I am using a Canon Pro 10.

Greetings,
You need to print something. Turing the printer on regularly helps, and while the "priming" that occurs will keep the printer in a ready state, the head could still become clogged at the nozzle unless a printout or calibration is performed.
