One VERY IMPORTANT thing I learned the hard way!

When fixing printheads, especially if you've boiled them or soaked them,
you MUST refill the small tanks inside the printhead.

On the web, the only known method (prior to this post) was to disassemble
the printhead (photos to be shown) and dripping some ink inside.

But wait!

You do NOT have to disassemble the HP #14 printhead to refill it!

You can just remove the round spacer (see photos to be referenced) and then
drip the ink in via the handful of channels under that round removable
cylinder.

This is good 'cuz removing the cylinder rarely breaks the printhead but
removing the next three clips is a very delicate operation.

If you just drip ink inside the channels under the positioning cylinder,
then you don't have to remove the three clips and you win big time!

This is the ONLY place on the net where this procedure is described so take
note!
