Thanks to all for the feedback.... Ive been using an OfficeJet Pro 8500 for 5+ years and have never had any issues with printheads or clogs. I use only original HP ink... have to say Im surprised with the mentioned problems with the inkjet technology. The printer gets moderate use, and does not go for longer than 3 or 4 days without use, perhaps that is the reason...??

Would welcome other suggestions, feedback & experiences.

Thanks !!! ^
